Saint James, a brother of our
Savior Jesus Christ, wrote in his
epistle in the New Testament these
familiar words found in st. James
Chapter four and verse three: Eye
ask and receive not, because We ask
amiss." Lest we forget, we must
keep in mind that to the born again
children of God He has given to us
many wonderful promises, which
suffice for time and eternity; we
are often lacking even in the basic
necessities of life because we fail
to believe God and to claim His
precious promises. In the foregoing
passage of scripture we readily see
that we fail to have the things we
need because, we ask amiss. Noah
Webster defines the word amiss
thus: wrong, faulty, or wrongly
so the meaning is that our prayers
are wrongly worded-you may ask
then how must we pray in order to
receive from God what we desire.
The very first requisite for an
swered prayers is to be on speak
ing terms with God We have no
way into the presence of God I'M
less we are saved. Jesus says in His
word, Il am the way" ETC. Hence,
if you wish to get to God in prayers
and have your desires and needs
taken care of, you must ask, or
sign your requests thus, lin Jesus
name" or for Jesus sake"
In March l decided l wanted to
see the Golden West, l requested
the people of God to pray that God
would grant us this blessing. Dur
ing the months which ensued it
seemed utterly impossible for us to
take such an extensive trip within
two weeks, as that was all the time
we had for our vacation-and | am
giving this testimony for the en-
enlargement of other Christians
who have many unanswered pray
erS before the throne of God. Twice
during the past six months since
made the request known, | almost
decided to go elsewhere and not to
try to take the long trip which
seemed impossible Finally the
Spirit of God whispered in my
heart these words, ''Ye shall have
what you say God is no reSpector
of persons, so God has given you
the same comforting wordS-We
enjoyed a most pleasant trip to and
from Los Angeles visiting with
saints and friends. Years ago there
was an old saying around Jackson
that Chicago was Gods country,
but my husband, my son and
have decided that Los Angeles is
raelly Gods country.

American Being Fed
False Propaganda

propaganda that the nation is
weak and is not prepared to
defend itself against any who
may attack.
Mac Arthur said Americans
are being fed propaganda
which he described by saying
we must appease and COM
promise to encourage others to
desist from attacking. He said
it is not from the threat of ex-
ternal attack that the nation
has reason to fear but from
those incidious forces working
from within.

The Governor pointed out that
taxpayers are now required ito
pay double for law enforcement
to the local officials who fail
and also to the state TO do the
Job for them"
He said, however. that the 30
raids so far made by state police
have achieved very substantial
results" and have helped revive
law enforcement locally by "caus-
ing local officials to get busy"
He cited the drop in slot ma
chine registrations in rs southern
Illinois counties since the raids
began In May. 1850. Nearly 8400
slot machines were registered In
the area at the time. By June.
1851, they had dropped to about
3400. a decline Of so per cent.
and total registrations are now
under 1900.
II think the values OF local
government are too great to be
frittered away without our first
doing everything we can to pre-
serve their integrity" the Gov
ernor concluded. @In law enforce
ment, the greatest challenge lies
not In the devising Of new ma
chinery but In making what we
have work."
