Jesus was our leader in this regard as in all others. He taught his disciples definitely on the principles of true prayer, gave them the great model, called the Lord's yer, 'and most of all set them an example of the value and effect of sincere communion with God. Paul follows his Lord here very closely, and we that the same stress is laid upon this great subject in the Epistles as in the gospels. I. THE FAREWELL PRAYER OF EPHESUS, Acts 20: 86-38. V. 36. In time of deep emot on or of danger it was natura! that these Christians should turn to God, and in this incident we have a fine example of the way in which Paul carries on the thoughts of his converts fron the sor- rews of the immediate parting to that g eat union with God. who is above ail cane and whe can guard kvep nie ghi dean "There 1s nothing that 2% wini mig like a !'ather.

Prayer had done wonders in deepening his sympathy with all those whe loved the Lord Jesus. II. PAUL'S CEASELESS THANKSGIVING, Eph. 1: 15, 16. giving is one of the leading ts .n true prayer. There are sc many lovely, gracious, and good people and things in the world that we may always have cause for grati- tude and joy. -In Paul's heart there was a fountain of thanksgiving. In one letter he writes, "In all things give thanks." His generous nature is re- flected in the way in which he always picked out the good qualities in his converts, There are several things which may be noted here: (1) Paul believed that in all true prayer, man was not dependent merely on his own will and effort, since God's spirit was always suggesting and inspiring and helping the worshipper. "The spirit bears witness with our spirits." (2) He was a firm believer in intercessory prayer, He must have had long lists of those whom he mentioncd daily in his prayer, This duty must have made great inroads upon his time; but he reaped great results, Perhaps there are few ways in which some people can do more service than in sincere and constant petition for those whom they love, and whose welfare they desire. III. PAUL'S SECOND PRAYER, Eph. 3: 14-21. V. 14. This is the second of the prayers in Ephesians, and it is exeeed- ingly rich in its teaching and the light thrown upon the nature of true wor- ship. Paul knelt to the "Father." Everything is a religious turn upon the nature of the God who is worship- ped. Those who worshipped a cruel oloch thought it was necessary to make their children walk through the fire as an act pleasing to their God. Today the heathen think of a revenge- ful God whom they attempt to appease by acts of torture. But when the idea of God is pure, then prayer also is pure. Jesus first revealed this beauti- ful grace and love of God w'en he taught his followers to say, "Our Father which art in heaven." He hereby made true prayer possible. We know that God is our Father who is constantly contemplating best things for all his children. V. 15, These two prayers in Ephe- sus should be . .mpared as one is the complement of the other. In 1: 17-23, Paul thinks.of the magnificence of the hope which Christ brings and of the -andeur of the inheritance which is aid up for believers, No human eye can see it, so he prays that the eyes of their minds may be opened by the Spirit of God that they may see the boi | the Ww enter into the presence]. * y mains unknown in all its fulness. -It surpastetl) knowledge. : . 20.

By Warren Irvin in N.Y. Times Here are a few headlines that indi cate the extent to which animals figure fn the day's néws: =~ "Porcupine Ate Dynamite," "Rab- +»| bits Had Hand in America's Discov- ery," ""Jazz Tunes Lure Deer to Parked Car," "Giraffes in Egyptian Art," "Lion Visits City Hall," "Flood Control Considered from Angle- worm's Angle," "Japan Planning Big Bullfrog. Crop." Probably the oldest of all stories is the animal story, nor is this sur- prising when one considers that early man subsisted largely by hunt- ing and fishing. 'The most primitive cuneiform systems contain animal figures, and centuries before fables of Aesop were thought of Paleolithic men were scratching ani. mal forms upon rocks. The rock pic: tures of the Australians, the house carvings of the Hskimos and the drawings of the Bushmen are alike remarkable for their faithful repre- sentation of animals. Notwithstanding its antiquity, how- ever, the animal story has lost none of is fascination. Newspapers de- vote thousands of columns to it an- nually. No longer is it fined to tales of faithful dogs warning fami- les of fire, cats eausing asphyxiation by carelessly walking across gas stoves, or runaway monkeys drawing crowds in pursuit through busy city streets. Interest Does Not Flag Turn back over last year's files and note the variety of animal news that has been printed. Headlines speak for themselves. Here, between two small items telling respectively of the loss of Texas Guinan's pet terrapin and the gift of a kangaroo to President Coolidge, one finds the caption, "African White Rhinoceros Rapidly Nearing Extinction." Or, among a cluster of small stories headed variously: . "Deer Eat $35 Worth of Pansies," "Train Interrupts Doe's Sleep on Tracks Near Middle- town," "Canoe-Upsetting Hippopotami Sentenced to Death in Uganda," "Film Lion to Cross Country in Air- plane," or "Frogs Enlighten Savants, Then Tickle Their Palates"--among all these stories is an account of how in the Province of Khorassan, one of the remote districts of Persia, camels and other beasts of burden are taxed to provide for the upkeep of the municipal hospital. There are stirring accounts of duels to the death between buffalo bulls; or fierce fights. between. lions and tigers, or between tigers and croco- diles. There are tales of savage jungle beasts which, oace having tasted of human flesh, will have no other. There are stories of wolves driven by hunger to invade towns or villages, or stories of wolves adopt: ing human children and caring for them. There are scientific studies of ani- mal behavior, or accounts of strange animal customs like that of the fe- male scorpion, which devours its own mate and sometimes its offspring. There are touching stories of animal gratitude like that of the London lioness whose cubs were sick, and who attacked her mate when he 'sprang upon a keeper who was tend- ing them. And there are endless comic anecdotes like that of the scolding circus stork who set upon fourteen lions in the circus and sent them scurrying to shelter in their cages. : "Travel Law Saves Wolves" tells how two Portuguese who discovered wolves attacking their. cattle chased them to the Spainish border, where they were compelled to abandon pur- suit for want of Spanish passport visas. "Lion in Flatbush Proves a Raccoon" recounts the struggles of Gaetano Marascio, a laborer, with a full grown raccoon four stories above the street on the scaffolding on a partly completed ~ apartment house. The raccoon went to the police sta- tion and Marascio to the hospital, Cat stories alone would fill vol- a These small vendin; away from post office. umes.

'The tales range from the account of the cat who held up traffic in Lafayette Street hile, with her kitten in her mouth, she strolled nonchalantly from one side to the other, or that of a frightened Maltese treed by a dog and rescued by the fire department after three dave' isolation, to the story of the Locarno cat whosa claim to fame is that Le shared a room with Herr Luther and M.
