Text: Matt. 6:5-f5 The International Uniform Sun. day School Lesson for October Fl.

By VIM. E. GILROY, D. D.
 Editor of Advance
 It would solve most of our prob- lems of prayer if we would give more heed to the teaching of Jesus and to His example, and concern ourselves less with conventional theories and practices.
 Nothing seems harder than to rid the mind of the average Chris tian of the idea that prayer is primarily an asking for things or a method of getting things from God. Such a notion is against all the teaching, direct and implied, that Jesus gave us concerning God, His relationship to us, and our relationship to Him. Elemental in all this relation ship is the fact that Jesus em- phasized "the Father knoweth the things ye have need of before ye ask Him."
 The God to whom we pray is a Father of love and mercy, who above all things, is anxious to do for us the best that He can do What He can accomplish in us, and what He can confer upon us, is limited by our willingness to re- ceive and by the attitude that opens or closes the door of our hearts.
 So it is that in our lesson we have the primary emphasis upon prayer as fellowship with God. That is the occasion of our pray ing that we may know God, and that we may so be transformed through knowledge of Him that we may be fitted to receive the gifts of His grace.
 To know God is to share His life and His love. Inevitably in that knowledge the sense of our need changes. We are less ready to ask for the things that we might desire for ourselves in oui earthly and worldly thought of prayer, and we are the more ready to perceive the greatest treasures that God has for us. Prayer is not a form, nor is it ritual, though we may use both form and rituNl in prayer. Prayer is the secret aspiration of the soul toward God.
 It may be expressed, or 1t may be so deep that the soul cannot express 1t, but can have only the
