and desire, and with full confession
of our sins and unWorthineSS, the
Christian world is turning in prayer
to the Heavenly Father who has so
often in the past proved Himself
the deliverer of His people.
This is a time when special gath
eringS for united prayer should be
established everywhere-civic prayer
meetings, cottage prayer meetings.
special and regular prayer meetings
in the churches. The promise of
answered prayer when suppliants
are united in Christ's name, still
holds good.
All sorts of public leaders-even
the physical sCientists-are pro-
claiming that there must be a spir-
itual change in the world to make
possible the new order sought. That
change can come only by the prayer
route. So the days summons and
instruction is, To your knees,
patriotsI To your knees!" Pray
without ceasing' Know that your
prayers are shared by the prayers
of Pastor Neimoeller and all his
acknowledgment in German csn-
centration camps; by the homeless,
hungry refugees; by the families
of the soldiers and by all the hosts
of peace-loying, freedom seeking
people in the world. A great issue
has been dramatically joined all
around the globe; the event is with
God. who stands committed to His
people His own honor is involved.

Persistent, persevering PRAYER pre-
walls: that is the message of Christ's
story of the importunate widow. He
capped the recital with heartening,
stirring words which are a distinct
message for today: Shall not God
avenge His elect, that cry to Him
day and night?"
One basic rule of prayer is to re-
member that God is on His throne,
as well as that We are on our knees.
He wisely does not answer all our
prayers in our way. We're He to do
SO, that would be putting mans
judgment above the Divine omnis-
cience. That is why Jesus taught
us to condition all our petitions by

British Empire and the United

some special Providence to assure
victory for the right.
AS God interviewed at Dunkirk by
still waters in the Channel, and
long ago scattered the Spanish
armada by a storm, so, somehow,
somewhere He will make bare His
mighty arm in behalf of the de-
tenders of religion, of liberty. of
justice. If, as we sincerely believe,
we are contending on Gods side,
for the principles He has made clear
as His great objectives for mankind,
then it is impossible that He should
fail to come to the help of His
followers. This is our faith, and
