while He criticized the long and
formal prayers of the Pharisees.
James Montgomerys definition of
prayer is suggestive: Prayer is the
souls sincere desire, uttered or un-
expressed"
There are some readers of these
lines whose desire for certain boon
from heaven is so intense that every
thought of their hearts is a prayer.
In His own way and time God
always answers such prayers.
True prayer always recognizes
that God is on His throne, as well
as that the suppliant is on his knees.
That is why every Jesus-taught
prayer includes Nevertheless, not
my will, but Thine be done"
While prayer is spirit as we'll as
an act, it should also be a practice,
in stated times and places In
generation more inclined to strut
than to kneel, there is double need
of the prayer closet. And we also
need, as never before. the united
prayers of ChriSt's disciples in public
fellowship. The passing of the mid
week prayer meeting from the life
of many churches is one of the
tragedies of our days religious
history.

At the portal to prayer shines the
! sublime truth that Gods attitude is
that of father Jesus stressed this
over and over again. IF We then

gifts unto your children, how much
more shall your Father who is in
/ heaven give good things TO them
/ that ask Him?"
/ Phillips Brooks crystallized this
truth into striking phrase: Prayer
/ is not overcoming Gods reluctance
but laying hold of His willingness.
This Father-conception makes il
possible for us to grasp the fringe
of the ineXpressible truth that the
Infinite God. creator and ruler of the
universe. is yet such one as cares
for the particular needs of even the
least of His children. In the par
ticularity of His concerns. no less
than in the infinite majesty of His
sovereignty, is the greatness of Goo
revealed.
Prayer is the refuge of the millions
of Christians today in conquered
lands Despite the censorship, there
is coming out of the seclusion Of the
relationships a constant stream ot
messages TO the leaders of the
