RADIANT LIVING
MEETING LIFE'S SITUATIONS
By RKv. c. N. GRIFEETH
Pastor Methodist Church, cecilton, Md.

One of the outstanding charac-
teristics of the Mohammedan re-
hgion is their daily calls to pray
er. Five times every day the Muez-
zin climbs the tall tower of the
mosque, and with a strong voice
calls the faithful to prayer.
But to see a Christian stop his
York five times a day and to kneel
down in prayer would be to wit
ness something out Of the ordi-
nary.
Yet why should we not pray five
times a day, or more? Do we not
use our telephones oftener than
that every day?
What is prayer anyway but
telephone call to heaven?
And are there not many times
during the day when we should put
through such a call?
For instance every time you feel
some weight of responsibility
pressing hard upon you, every
time you feel anxious about some
thing, every time fear stalks your
path, there's are the very times
when You should stop a moment
right where you are and put
through a call to God.
Then again, You may find your
self in some financial difficulty.
Perhaps you do not know how you
are going to meet the rent or make
on sfolITnant navfnent which ia
coming due. Why not call UP
heaven and ask how you can best
meet the situation?
Then there are other times
when, perhaps in a most unex-
pected way, you suddenly meet an
almost overwhelming temptation.
Is this not the time for a hurried
call to heaven?
Prayer is the best way to meet
any and every situation in life.
Do not hesitate to put through
call to God today.
