TO cause us to marvel, but to the one
who knows the real thing, they are
Just limitations" Particularly is
that true in the realm of the spiritu-

only the hypocrite and those who
know as little as he does of real
! Christianity.
Prayer is undoubtedly the great
est privilege of the Christian. put
ting him and his life in touch with
the omnlpotence of God. But it must
be real prayer, not just some formal
exercise which masquerades under
the name of prayer. We combine
the two parallels of our lesson to
contrast prevailing prayer and pow
erless prayer.
1. Prevailing Prayer.
The prayer which really lays hold
upon God and brings results must
be the expression of life of PRAYER.
1t is no occasional effort brought
about by great need or a deep
sorrow. We must pray
l. Without Ceasing ". u. Jesus
had just been talking of the trying
days which were to come duke
17:26-30). To stand fast for Christ
IN day when almost all the influ-
ences are against such faith, man
needs real prayer or he will surely
faint.
To pray constantly is not neces-
sarlly to be saying the words of
prayer, but is the outreach of the
life toward God, the setting of our
minds on things above That we
can and may do at all times and in
all places.
2. With Assurance wv. 2-9,. If
an unjust judge will respond just
to escape the constant plea of a
widow, we may rest assured that
God, who is just and looks upon
His people in loving-kindness, VIII
not fail to respond to their plea. He
says, Call unto me. and | will an
sWer thee, and show thee great and
mighty things. which thou knowest
not" Ger. 1879.
3. In Humility wv. Is, IA. We
come to God. not to demand, but to
humbly plead the blood of Jesus
Christ. That was what the publican
did. When he said, Lord, be mer-
ciful," he used the word "propitiat-
ed" which refers to the mercy seat
on which the blood was sprinkled as
a Precipitation for sin (see Exod.
25:l7, 10, 81; Heb. 9:5: Lev. 1850.
Such plea brought salvation TO the
repentant sinner.
III. Powerless Prayer.
We use the word prayer here in
the broad sense, for strictly speak
ing there is no such thing as prayer
without power. Men call it prayer.

it is offered

did; he prayed with himself" He
had an intellectual conviction, but
that does not make a contact with
God. He'll is full of intellectual con-
viction. God? Oh. yes. But he was
so occupied with himself he could
not get away from himself Nor

2. With Boastful Pride wv. 9, IL,

Barron Named
10 House Seat
Coudsrt Also Proposed
for Simpson voeoney

oNEW YORK, Jan. 27-(R-
State Senator r. Coudert Jr. and
former Rep. Bruce Barton were
mentioned today as probable
republican choices for the con-
gressional vacancy caused by
the death Saturday night of Rep.
Kenneth F. Simpson.
Simpson, As, died of q heart
attack at his home after serving
just 20 days in the 77th Con-
gress as representative from
Manhattan's 18th silk stocking"
district-an office held by Bar
ton until the latter's recent un-
successful bid for the senate.
Chief accomplishment Of
Simpson IN his brief tenure in
his first elective office was the
introduction in the house of a
substitute for President Roose-
velt's "lease-lend" bill for aid
to Britain.
Leader for six years of the
New York county republican
committee, Simpsons political
career spanned "a years in
which he gained national recog-
milton as q stormy but effective
partisan.
He helped swing the 1910 re-
publican presidential nomina-
ton to Wendell L. Willkie and
in 1887 aided Thomas T.. Dewey
in becoming New York's dis
trict attorney.
In later factional battles with
the Dewey forces, Simpson lost
his place on the republican ma
tional committee, and recently
resigned his chairms nship of
the county committee in another
intraparty squable.
Governor Herbert H. Lehman
is expected to call q special
election shortly to fill the con-
gressional vacancy.
