The Silence of God A wife and young mother suddenly is rushed to the hospital. The doctors give her only a short while to live. Her husband and family begin to pray for her. The ladies in lier church set up a twenty- four hour prayer vigil. Her condition worsens. The prayers become more fervent. Then she slips into a coma and dies. The grieving' husband cries ont, "Why. didn't God an- swer our prayers? " The silence of God is' difficult to understand. There are times when God seems to turn his back and listen not to what we are asking of him. This problem is not unique to our age and generation. Lt lias troubled men and women of faith ever sin- ce the beginning of time. Moses prayed to enter the Promised Land. He died within sight of it on a mountain-top, his prayers unanswered. The Psalmist in a moment of great despair cried ont, "My God! My God! Why hast Thon forsaken me? Why art Thou so far from lielping me?" Habakkuk in lis time of travail cried out, "Oh Lord, how long shalI cry and Thou wilt not hear? " The apostle Paul prayed to have the thorn in lis flesh removed. He was forced to.live with it until he died. As Christians we believe in a God of love and mercy. When lie seems to be sulent to our prayers and petitions, it presents us with a real crisis of faith. We begin to question the power of God and we doubt, that he even cares for us. L t may help us, if we try to realize that God sometimes says no to our prayers because lie knows wliat is good for us better than we know ourselves. At times lie turns a deaf ear on our petitions 50 that lie may answer what lie knows to be our deepest need. The story of jPetr %eakz.ý, Augustine is a classic example. In his autobiography, hie pic- tures his mother praying ail one night that God will not let hier ,son sail .for Italy. She wanted Augustine to be a Christian. She could not bear to see him go to the wicked city of Rome. But even as she prayed,' Augustine sailed for Italy where he experienced the wickedness of the city. After a, time hie came under the influence of the great Christian Am- brose and hie became a Christian. His mother's petitions were denied but the need of Augustine Was granted. Thus hie was abe to pray to God, "Thou in the depth of Thy,,counsels, hearing the main point of hier desire, regardeth not what she then asked, that Thon mightest make me what she ever desired. " An even more poignant scene comes to us from the Garden of A fall dinner-dance sponsored by the Durham-Northumberland Liberal Association was held at the new Manvers Arena's spacious community centre on Saturday with about,100 in attendance.

Hugh Faulkner, to Arena Committee Chairman Jim Kloepfer. Chairman for the evening was the association President WilI Capeling. Music for dancing was snpplied by the Moonshiners of Lindsay.

Picture Christ if you will, kneeling in the garden. Beads of perspiration cover his brow as he prays, "Father, all things are possible unto Thee. 'Take this cup from me." That petition was neyer granted. Jesus then turned from his natural human desires to ask that God's will might, be done through himr. "Yet not what I will but wliat Thou wilt. " God answered that, prayer more magnificently than we wiIl ever under- stand. God hears our prayers and answers. He may not give us the answer we want. He may not give us an answer we, can immediately under- stand. But whatever an- swer God gives, our prayers will bring guidance, strength and comfort. This is the fact of faith.
