Pray without ceasing; In everything give thanks. 1 Thess. 5 : 17, 18. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. We do not know when Psalms 103 and 107 were written. The Sermon on the Mount was delivered In the summer of A.D. K. Our Lord offered His great Intercessory prayer on Thursday night, AprH 6. A.D. 30. The Epis- tle* to the Ephesians and Philip- plans were written In 64 A.D., the First Epistle to the Thessalonians was written In 54 A.D., and the first Epistle of John approximate- ly 15 A.D. Place. The two Psalms of our lesson were probably written in or near Jerusalem; the Sermon on the Mount was delivered not far fxo-m the City of Capernaum. The intercessory prayer of our Lord was offered In Jerusalem, fiphesus was a great city of the province of Asia; Philippi and Tbeesalonlca were cities of Mace- donia (northern Greece). The First Bplstle of John may have been written from the city of Ephesus. Hypocrite* Denounced T "And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites; for they IOTC to stand and pray In the synagogues and In the corners of the streets, that they may be see-n at men. Verily I say unto you, they have received their reward." We need not suppose that the Pharisees went out Into the streets to lay their prayers, but that, when they were In a public place at the bour of prayer, they were osten- tatious In performing their devo- tlone. They were glad to be seen praying, and chose a conspicuous place. As In alms giving it Is not the being seen, but the wish to b* seen, as to be seen In order to be admired tbat Is condemned. <X all hypocrisies, that of pretend- lag to have intercourse with God, and cf making a parade of such Intercourse la one of the worst. Christ, of course, does not con- demn public worship; it is saying private prayers In needless pub- licity, In order to gain a repu- tation for special sanclty, that Is denounced. Pray In Secret I. "But thou, when thou prayest, enter Into thine inner chamber. and having shut the door, pray to thy Father who Is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret hall recompense thee." They rea- son we are to be alone Is that we might pour out our heart without the restraining influence that Is bound to b* preeent when others are near by. When we pray in Mcret, we are interested in noth tof but pleading with God. T. "And In praying use not vain repetitions, a* the Gentiles do: tor they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. f. Be not, therefore, .ike unto them: for your Father knowetli what thing* ye have need of, be- fore ye ask him." Just a* Christ doe* not condemn public prayer, but praying In public in order to win eite-em, to here he does not condemn all repltitlon In prayer. We repeat supplications, not in order to secure God's attention, but In order to secure our own attention. God 1* always ready to Itoten to his children's needs; but they are not always attending to what they say when they bring their needs before htm. The Lord'* Prayer |. "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father who art In Heaven. Hallowed be thy name. " In calling God our Father we imply that we are his children. There- fore, we have a relationship to him. In this relationship we are to be ever sanctifying his name. We do so by ever remembering God Is holy, and then by so living that he himself is revealed as a Holy God In our life. 10. "Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, as in Heaven, so ou earth." A Kingdom implies at least two factors, an area over which the Kingdom rules, ami a King who Is sovereign. The King- dom of God on earth is the domain In which God's holy will is 'lone In and among men.' We enter tais Kingdom by repentenance, by faith, by new birth. 11. "Give us this day our dally bread." Bread is an absolute ne- ceseity of life. We are not I'ere asking for delicacies but for ;>iat very elemental material by Y iilch we may live, in the simplest but most vital way. 11. "And forgive us our debts, a* we also have forgiven our deb- tor*." All transgressions of duty are debts to him, and we need His forgiveness for them not in order to escape the penalties of our wrong doing, but in order that the loving relationship between Father and child may be restored. W most cultivate a spirit of forgive- HM towards those who seem to wroixged us, before we ven- FROM "DOWN UNDER" TO "OVER THE TOP" More than 600 pilots of the Royal Australian Air Force and th* Royal New Zealand Air Force arrived in San Francisco aboard the SS. Mariposa on their way to a Canadian training- field, and eventually to the European air front. Her* a group of them cheerfully give good luck signs. ture to claim forgiveness for our- selves. v 12. "And bring us not into tern- tatlon, but deliver u from the evil one." Of course this prayer would never be prayed except by one who desired to do the will of God People do not pray to be kept from the evil one, when they have <' llberately chosen to live a life of in. 14. "For if ye forgive not men their trespasses neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." The facts that this alone of all the topic* of the prayer is taken up a second time, ought to impress upon us very deeply the impert ance of forgiving if we wish to be forgiven. Pray Without Ceasing It. "Rejoice always." Joy springs from the possession of present good. It is an Intense delight in God's presence and in fellowship with him. 17. "Pray without ceasing; 18. In everything give thanks: for this U the will of God an Christ Jesus to you-ward." Our true aim must not be to work much, and have prayer enough to keep the work right, but to pray much and then work en- ough for the power and obtained in prayer to find Its way through us to me. Christ is surety for our praying without ceasing. Christ teaches to pray by showing bow he does it, by leading us to do It In him and like him. In the experience of our union with him, praying without ceasing becomes a possibility, the holiest part of our fellowship with God. Italians Produce 'Ruins' to Order Italians are producing histori- cal monuments to order, judging by the published handbooks on a'ir raid precautions in that coun- try which have reached Britain. Here arc some camouflage hints they contain: A line of power cable pylons can be made to re- semble the ruined arches of a Roman aqueduct. A small reatr- voir can look like a country church, complete with campanile and "bells" visible from the air. An oil storage tank can appear to be a villa in Italian style with shuttered windows. ] THIS CURIOUS WORLD 76* RAT RDPOLAHON IN THE UNITED STATES IS ESTIMATED AT /2S.OOO.OOO. JOHN QUINCV WAS T>?E.

Waste Products Become Gasoline Amateur Chemist Makes Gas- oline From Garbage, Waste Lumber *nd Farm Products A building contractor who turn- ed chemist because he became ir- ritated at the ize of his gasoline bills has developed a process to convert garbage, waste lumber and farm products into motor fuel. J. W. Jean has obtained final patents on the method he develop- ed In a machine shop laboratory. He says tests of his synthetic fuel have shown it has an octane rating of 98.7 comparable to aviation gas- oline, and that It has developed 25 per cent more mileage than the petroleum fuel. The raw material first is ferment- ed Into alcohol and the* converted Into a synthetic hydro-carbon. To produce butyl alcohol cheaply, It was necessary to develop an un- patented bacterian. He met the problem by Isolating one from po- tato peelings. One hundred and fifty tone of bagasse or sugar cane waste, he alfl, can be converted into 9875 gallons of motor fuel. tii>,160 pounds of carbon dioxide for dry Ice, J.700 pounds of hydrogen gas from which synthetic alcohol can be produced, and 50 tons of humus for the soil. By-products Include ammoula alts, which, when blended with fertilizer, provide a high nitrogen content. When the fuel is produced from garbage, a superior lubrlcnnt i developed. Among materials from which the fuel can be produced, Jean said, are molasses, sawdust and shav- ings, waste from paper and SUUM.- mills, old newspapers, potatoes, fruit, nuts and nut shells, and i <_ ond and third cotton crops, seldr-m harvested, including the entire cot- ton plant. The Gentle Hun! Although Norway has nevr been able to produce sufficient food for her own people, she is today being compelled not only to send large quantities of food to Germany but also to feed a Ger- man occupation army estimated at 300,000 men. Recenty Reichs - commissioner Josef Terboven warned the Nor- wegian people that they must either comply with the Nazi regu- lations or face starvation. "It is a matter of indifference to Ger- many,' 1 he said, "if some thou- sands or perhaps tens of thou- sands of Norwegian men, women and children starve and freeze to death during the war." Reducing the Weight Letters to and from the forces in the Middle East reduced by the airgraph process to tiny films, weighed only 500 pounds. Had the letters been sent by ordinary post they would have weighed about thirty-five tons.
