Poor Old Britain Nobody's wrong but England, and England's always wrong; Too late â€" or else too early â€" too soft or else too ^^trong; And wheji for once the wide world begins to praise her name Her own sons crowd and hurry to shout her back her shame. Remember how they beggej her to carry arms to Spain? But eaiTy arms to Athens ? Oh, no, she's wrong again; We musn't blame the Russians; the Yanks can do no wrong; I do not think the Germans will be guilty very long; Xol Bismarck now, but Baldwin is the architect of war; Wilhelm â€" and Woodrow Wilson â€" are not mentioned any more. But Britain, poor old Britain, i? anybody's meat. Give her the hai-dest marches, and then trip up her feet. Stand bravely on the touch-line, ann analyse her acts. Bombard her with your sermons â€" and never mind the facts. Laugh loud at every failure, lay claim to each success, .And make a Party profit out of the cosmic mess. Xor ever cease to whistle your haPPy little song. "Nobody'.'! wrong jwit England â€" and England's alway-^ wrong." â€"A. P.

Sunday School Lesson Prayer For Christian Brotherhood SUNDAY, MARCH 23, 1947 John 17: 1-11, 20-23. Golden Text: "Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we aro."-John 17:11. Jesus' Intercessory Prayer The dictionary defines intercession as "a prayer or series of prayers for persons of different conditions." Following the solemn conversations of Jesus with His disciples on the eve of His death, recorded in chap- ters 14 to 16 of John's Gos,pel, Jesois "lifted up His eyes to heaven" and muuL- ;lie .;r.iyer r.-c.;r.!ed in the 17th Chapter. Though this is the only long in- tercessory prayer recorded, it was not the only intercessoi-y prayer of Jesus We may recall His words to Peter: "Simon, Simon, satan hath desired to have thee, that he may sift thee as wheat; but I have pray- ed for [hee that thy faith fail not." We may bo sure that as Jesus pray- ed for Peter, He prayed for the others also. Function of Prayer He prayed, first of all for Himself. Is not that the beginning of true inteicessory ipiayer? Not that it if in apy respect selfish, but the lirsl function of prayer is to bring us near to God and to prepare ano strengthen us for the doing of His will. Note how definite and specific was the prsyer of Jesus for His innei circle of disciples. His prayer was not a -vagut, ^enerai, and senti- mental prayer for all humanity. "1 pray for thcTn," he said, "I pray not for the world." Prayer for the Disciples But here were the men, the Twelve, though one was a traitor through whom the ministry of Jesus wa-; to be carried on. If salvatior was to come to the world it was to come through them. And shortly Jesus was to give them the com- mis:sion to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. He knew that they would face hardship and per- sec-.iiion; so He prayed for them that they anight be sanctified and made strong. And Ho knew when they had pass- ed on, other disciples must continue 1-" vorV-. So He prayed, not foT them alone, but for all who should j !)','liev'j th ouu-h their word.
