OPPOSITE ORANGE ROM 13 COMPANY BUSES LEAVE Richmond Hill to Orillia RICHMOND HILL All‘ of G ticmfl on I I17]! fervent acceptable All too o-iten we say prayers in- stead of praying. Paul no dowbh had been saying prayers for years ‘but the first time that scrip records :him: praying was in Damascus when ‘the Lord told: Annianas “Go to him for behold he prayeth‘”. Some of us are sadly conscious of the fact that many soâ€"called prayers have only been a performance. This is no time for simply the forms oi prayer; no time merely to repeat a short prayer. The sorrows of the soul are real. A question that arises in every mind» and con; science, “19 there any alleviation for these in the habit of prayer? Can prayer reach its effects, the guilt that reformation cannot re- move? Desires that dam bodiy and soul; sin that destroys the haprpi- ness of homes and Ibrings into fam- ilies upheavals and inf'avmy. And does it deal: with the inward evil‘ which defies every natural law and finds no solution in. anything self made or human 2"” These are prac- tical questions and they ring in evi er'y mind and‘ conscience and they cry for a satisfying answer. The Christian finds ample author- ity for prayer in the fact that Christ commands and commends it and is ever ready to listen to the suppliâ€" cati'ons' of His children. All‘ of Gocl’s blessings are condi- ticmfl on prayer and- without faith- ful] fervent prayer there can be no acceptable service. Perhaps as never before there is a crying need for a revival of the spirit and‘ practice of prayer. A mighty revival whether local or world wide is impossible without prayer. -~ ,rL -â€" r-..., -_, A speaker on the radio the other day said he did not believe we would win the war until we deserve to win and may I say we never will deserve to win until our lives are put right with God! and‘ that will only be done when we confess our sins, confess our helplessness and return to the Lord in hrurmfble faith in His word and! serve Him] as He has called us. H the churches of the land would 'cease trying to work up a revival and earnestly strive to pray one down they would meet with infin- i'bely more success. The truth is many professed' Christians have lost faith in prayer and} hence in a prayer meeting. Yes and‘ even in Men of prayer ans men of power; uncover the lives of men who have been successful soulmnners and it will be found that they prevailed with God often in the secret place. a. buyer-hearing andr prayem- wering God. John Wesley had. his prayerâ€"room where he co-mlmuned' with the Most High before he spoke to the people. On the first part of his Diary _is recorded this vow: (1) I resolve. to devote an hour morning and evening to private prayer, no pretence, no excuse whatever. Moody was a man of prayer. It was in secret communion with God that he received power to bring men to Christ. At the burning of Fare- well Hall in Chicago back in the sixties Mr. Moody having lost his parish with most of his earthly pos- sessiorns, set out for New York wiflh a feeling that his life was broken asunder. On the train he kept pray- ing that God woulci endJure him with more power for a greater work. His plea. was “Make me willing O Lord (2) To converse face to face with God in Righteousness. Luther and his' associates were men of prayer. They wrestled and prevailed. Luther heard that Me- lancthon was drying. When he- ap- proached the bedside the. sy'm7ptoms of death were quite apparent. Me- l'ancthon aroused‘ himself and seeing Luther said “Oh Luther is this you? Why don’t you let me depart in peace?" “We cannot spare you P‘hill’rp,” was the reply. Luther fell upon his knees and wrestled; with God! for more than an hour for the recovery of his friend; Asgain Me- ]amcflhon said‘, “Dear Luther why don’t you 'let me dlerpart in peace?” The reply was “We cannot spare you yet,” Luther then ordered same nourishment which was refused' with the question, “Dear Luther why Will ycni not let me go home. and‘ be at rest?” Luther said “Take- this soup or I will excommnicate you.” He took the SO‘lllp and soon regained his wonted‘ strength. When Luther returned home he said to his wife, “God gave me my brother Melanc- thon back in direct answer to prayer." Johm Knox was famous for his earnest prayers. He was rheard at the [great crisis to plead “O God «give me Scotland or I die.” MEDITATION By Rev. J. H. Dudgeon in the day of Thy power, willing to receive all that Thou wouldst be- stow upon me.” In a room at the old Metropoli- rtan hotel he kept up that prayer houn- after horur kneeling, walking “the floor plevadimg ‘0 Lord make mfe willing to :be strong for service as Thou wou‘l Is‘t have me." Towards evening a friend knocked and re- evening a friend knocked and re- ceiving no answer entered. Moodvy was standing with- tearful eyes upâ€" lifted and saying softly in a broken voice, “0 Lordi stay now T’hy hand, no more, no more." His prayer had {been answered. God' had! fed his hungry soul andl filled! him even to the lips. And then began that mar- vellous work of Evangelism in A- merica and Europe when souls came to Christ like d‘oves flocking to their windows which must ever be Judson impressed: an empire for Christ and; laid the foundations of God’s kingdom in the heart of Burma. a mystery to those who doubt the importance of the energizing influ- ence of the spirit of GodL” is what Paul did when he was cast into the dungeon. So we might go on showing you from the word of God) the potency of pray-er. These are times when the true Church of God shoulki‘ feel the need‘ of divine help as never before. New problem‘s confront the church. We seek to devise new methods, new plans, new organizations, new and more powerful machinery. What the church needs today is not these things but she needs men and women whom the Holy Ghost can use. Men of prayer, mem mighty in prayer" The Holy Ghost does not fI-ovg through methods but through men. He does not come on machinery but on men. He does: not anoint plans Pout men, men of (prayer. We are truly living in stirring times. Every hour is in touch with momentous events. The curtain is afbowt to fall on the history of a. (planet.

Apes-to-lix Power isI not manifest in the church today as it should be. The standard of godliness is far too low. There is not mat close con- tact between the soul and! God there should be. Church meanibetrs should heed the admonition of Chrisrt when He said men ouglhrt al’vmys to pray. But so many think If they pay the preacher he should‘ do their pray- ing. Many a pastor is Ila-bowing hard to keep the work going- while a \prayerleiss membership sits and‘ criticises, talking no responsibility because the congregation is falling off and' funds» are running low. FL'i-pâ€" pantl’y they say “It is. not my fault.” Le‘t me charge it home to some of you sfleew lazy church members for the condition of things. A dozen Holy Ghost led' men could change the whole wor‘ks. The late Dr. A. T. Pie-risen tells how a minister in a. church in Sic-0t- llamd' sudld‘enl'y began to preach with unusual power. The whole congre- ga’tion was aroused and‘ sinners were marvelously converted. He himself did) not understand! the secret of his! new endu-ement of evangelical pow- er.

Truly there is one key that unlocks- heav- em’s gate. One secret that connects us with the throne of God and gives us access to the fountain of Bless- 111:9: Thi Prayer is nont a performance.

Prayer removes the humanly in- surmountable barriems, If prayer is anything to 3 Chris- tian it is everything. we can do nothing without prayer.

CHOOL children throughout Can- ada are playing a splendid role in the purchase of War Savings Stamps and Certificates. In appreciation of this fact, and in order to further the good work, John Murray Gibbon, general ublicity agent, Canadian Pacific ilway, noted Canadian author and poet, has written new and stirring words to that grand old tune, “Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching." The new song, which is now a. school favorite, is: “Stamp, stamp, stamps that we are buying.” The words in full follow. In the schoolroom as I sit, Thinking, soldier brave, of you, And the thunder of the guns across the sea, How I want to do my bit When my lessons all are through, And to help you fight to keep our country {reel CHORUS Stamp, stamp, stamps that we are buying Saving Stamp Song For Schuol children Fill up folders one by one. Soon we’ll have enough to gel Bomb or tank or trim corvette, And our savings will put H wider on the run. In the battlefront you stand Where the deadlg bombers dive, And you need a. ren or anti-aircraft §3"£o help you we have planned With our stamps to make a. drive, And we’ll raise a. hundred million ere we’re done! CHORUS So I think up some old chore As within the school I sit, And I know I’ll never let a. chance :50 by That will earn a. quarter more And will help me do my bit With the Savings Stamps that boys and girls may buy. CHORUS THE perennial appeal of old Quebec Citv. its nicturesaue 1Quebec City, its picturesque countryside, and northern lakes and woodlands, is receiving add- ed impetus in the face of war- time conditions. With physical fitness a requisite for all forms of war enterprise, it is doubly necessary that this year’s tourist make the most of his leisure hoursâ€"a demand that Quebec is admirably suited to satisfy. At least three importantvefac- tors are swinging the wartime tourist index in favor of Quebec. First, its proximity to large cen- tres of population, many being just an overnight journey by Canadian Pacific Railway lines; secondly, its wide variety of tour- ist attractions; and thirdly, the splendid accommodation provided by the Chateau Frontenac, Que- hec’s world-famed hostelry.
