little children never hear a word Of
grace or gratitude at the beginning of

rightful heritage. Gratitude Is one of
the courtesies of character, an amenity
of the heart. It can be cultivated by
always comparing your lot in life with
that of someone who has less rather
than more than you have. This always
brings gratitude plus contentment
However, this second type OF prayer
goes only half way TO the heart of God
and should only bear the name of
gratitude, not prayer.
The third kind of prayer must in
clude others if we wish it to ascend
higher than our heads. A great and

to me once. that she prays God to help
her answer prayers of others. "You

THERE probably has been no SUBJ
ject since mans beginning more

lists have claimed ii belonged TO the
spiritual world as form of worship.
Scientists not being able to classify it
into formula or fact have dismissed
the subject as not belonging to the sci

where does it belong. and to whom?
According TO the present status of
the human race there are three kinds
of prayer. The first type of prayer
is petition. Begging for something
which one has not. whether it be for
something TO have or TO be, ii is asking
God to give. This type Of request is
pseuuo-prayer, and should bear the
name of petition. The second type of
PRAYER is the kind that brings our ma

gratitude, for Thanksgiving means
gratitude. It is an attribute of the
heart Even though grateful. one can
also be selfish. Gratitude is sometimes
lacking in human beings and found In

are not as grateful for our splendid
country, with its privileges of free edu-
