C +. The Forward Movement Committee has called for a Day of Prayer on October the third. Days of prayer are unquestionably means of_ great blessing to all who actively participate in them and also to those persons and objects for whose interests the days are set apart. It was not accident some weeks ago, when the Anglican Church in the West sent out a call for a day of prayer for rain, that rain fell that night in many districts afâ€" fected by drought. Let us give ourâ€" selves wholeâ€"heartedly to this Day of Prayer. But such days are insufficient. A specified day of prayer should be but y : By Henry J. Keith _ Do the people in our cities. believe in prayer? Or is it passing out? Let us be frank and let us face the issue. If prayer is most necessary and vital, then let usâ€"give it the attention it deserves. Of course, we believe in prayer, theoretically, but practically â€"â€"there is unfortunately too much evâ€" idence of carelessness concerning what, after all, must be the backâ€" ground not only of the Forward Moveâ€" ment, but also of the whole Kingdom of God. One cannot but feel that a practical atheism bars the way to the Throne of Grace. To many, God is some kind of Being devoid of personality, whose very being is indefinite. Where that is the case, prayer will not mean very much. Nor would there be reâ€" quired any further explanation of the inactivity and ineffectiveness of the religion of those who hold such ideas. If the church depends on prayer and there is a considerable numberâ€"of people who have such a conception of God, it is not to be wondered at if the Church lacks energy and is known on the street as. unprogressive. We must arrive at â€"the conviction of a personal God, the Heavenly Father revealed by Jesus Christ, if we are to possess the ground for confidence. in prayer. y The tidings that came to Herod that the King was come should have brought him joy, but in reality they troubled him, for he wanted to be king himself. So many a heart toâ€" day that ought to welcome Christ as King with joy is troubled at the decâ€" laration that Christ is King, for we wish to be king ourselves. Not only Herod was troubled, but Jerusalem, *the city of the great King, who glory was to centre in Him, was unwilling to receive Him; was troubléd about His coming instead of rejoicing (Jno. T: /141).. How many in the' church would be troubled if they knew Jesus was coming toâ€"morrow. Herod thought the proper place to go for information about the Christ was to the Scriptures. In that he was right (Jno. 5: 39). If he had studied the Bible as he ought for himself, it would not have been necessary to g0. PRAYER AS A CONDITION The certainty of God‘s Word comes out remarkably in this passage. 700 years before Micah ‘had. prophesied that He was "to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth have been from old, from everlasting," was to come forth out of Bethlehem (Micah 5: 2). But she that was chosen to be the mother of Jesus did not live in Bethâ€" lehem, but far away Nazareth. But men who were utterly unconscious of God‘s purposes and . prophecies, by many decrees and ways worked toâ€" gether so that Mary was brought to Bethlehem at the time of our Lord‘s birth, and thus God‘s Word was fulâ€" filled and His eternal plan carried out (cf. Luke 2: 1â€"6; Ps. 76: 10). The sure word of prophecy spoken over seven centuries before by a man who was "borne along by the Holy Spirit" was thus fulfilled to the very letter, in spite of all the cunning of great men. Through their very wickedness God‘s purposes and words were fulâ€" filled. These wise men from the East were the ancient magi. They were students of the stars, astrologers; they sought to live up to the very best light they had, and God met them where they were and gave them more light. It is always so; he that lives up_to the light that he has will get more (cf. Ac. 10: 1â€"5, 30â€"32), but the man who réfuses to live up to the light he has will lose even that (Mat. 25:.29: .2 Thes. 2: 11, 12). As they studied the stars, God led them by a star. They made a far better use of their little light than the chief priests ; and scribes did of their fuller light. They came for the best of purposes,[ to worship Him. II.

Wh:. not now, when the Kingdom of Christ has become the all important issue If we are unfortunate in lacking the personal experience that convinces us After all, there are many encourâ€" agements for the prayer life. ‘The promises of the Bible, for example, are largely devoted to assurances of blessing and help and power that we cannot disassociate from the life of prayer.. That is a wonderful promise, almost beyond our believing, given at theâ€" close of the fortieth chapter of Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." There are different ways of waiting on the Lord, but one of the â€" most effective is prayer. _A wonderful experience of strength and power awaits those who so wait on God. The promises are almost unexplored mine awaiting the Church when it has faith enough on its knees to claim them. Nor can we get away from the exâ€" periences ‘of the Master.

Note carefully the conâ€" duct of the wise men: 1. They sought Jesus. 2. They found Jesus. 3. They rejoiced over Jesus. 4. They worshipâ€" ped Jesus. They gave gifts to Jesus. God now guides them by still another method, a dream. IV. God Protecting Jesus, 13â€"15. Now God acts. Herod‘s _ scheme fails because God upsets it. God again guides byfa "dream." Joseph wisely does exactly as God bade him do. Anâ€" other prophecy is fulfilled. God promâ€" iesesâ€"Joseph to send him word when it is time to come back. God kept his promise (vs. 19,20). ’ 10, 11). There is an eagerness tg hear about Christ toâ€"day in heathen lands that is sometimes lacking in soâ€"called Christian lands. There is no greater joy to the true? heart than that of finding Jesus. When they entered the home they fell down and worshipped Jesus. They saw Mary, His mother, but they did not worship her. Worâ€" ship may not have meant to them all that it means to us, but it is right to worship Jesus (Heb. 1: 6). When they had worshipped they presented unto Him their gifts. That is the true order; first, worship, then givâ€" ing. They gave Him their very best, gold and frankincense and myrrh (cf. ~ As soon as the wise men had. reâ€" ceived the desired information, they started immediately to find the King whom they sought. Again God leads them by the star, and leads to them to the very spot where the young child was. They were more accusâ€" tomed to being led by stars than any other way, and God adapts His leadâ€" ing to our necessity. While Herod and. Jerusalem had been troubled_ at the thought that Christ was come, the wise men of the east rejoiced with exceeding great joy â€" to find Him. Those who enjoy the largest privilegâ€" °s, oftentimes least appreciate them, and those who have the least light are most eager for more (cf.

Herod was very thorough in his search to find out about the Christ;, he gathered all the chief priests and all the scribes; he injuired diligently of the wise men; he told them to go and search diligently. He laid_ his plans with great skill; he was bound to make sure.. He thought he had left no loopâ€"hole in his schemes, but he had left God out of his calculaâ€" tions, so in spite of his thoroughness, they all came to nothing. The scribes were wellâ€"instructed from the Sceripâ€" tures and perfectly orthodox. _ They knew just where the Christ should be born, but they had no interest in his coming. There is much of that sort of Sceripture knowledge and orâ€" thodoxy still. 7 grea III.â€" The Wise Men Finding Jesus pray lis powe â€" whi time fact, seeking to and victory, we t 1is prayer life as t accomplish what. ‘â€"to. prayer, mucl k help through â€"th t success in servi wait uponâ€" the to â€" expl e=turn= as the : at He c rApununtAunenuaununu s us w o ng If you are run down, tired out, no life, grasp this opportunity, go to your druggist and procure Vital Tablets.

The volunâ€" teers who have offered their talents in the service of the Masterâ€"these have always come in answer to the prayer "Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that He would send forth laborers." We can expect the young army of rectuits so much needâ€" ed â€"at home and abroad to come in no other way than in answer to the ery of God‘s children. Family. religâ€" ion! Its keynote is prayer. We have diagnosed the disease of our civilizâ€" ation.. We have located .the causeâ€" the lack of family religion. We must get to the place where fathers and n‘others and children somehow récogâ€" nize together the need and help. of God in the home. There is one effectâ€" ive way, effective above all others, the way of the altar and prayer. None of these objects can be achieved without prayer. The Kingâ€" dom of God will not come without it. Let us, therefore, give ourselves with renewed devotion to the great task of intercession at our Father‘s throne. Before we seek to get others, let us begin with ourselves. Let us first ofâ€" fer ourselves and the rest will follow according to His word. Let us give ourselves to prayer. Made a New Man Out of Him It is encouraging to_ learn that books of devotion ~issued by â€" the Church ‘are eagerly sought after. It gives ground for the hope that people have after all a hunger for fellowship with God and through these helps they will turn to His word and find Him a coâ€"worker with themselves in the great tasks of the Kingdom. ers. _ If you are una m_ at your druggist‘ ‘bell Drugâ€"Co., Montr mailed to vou on re must have prayer.

But Abraham in his wonderful prayer did not go far enough. There should be no impossibilities confrontâ€" ing prayer. Abraham stopped too soon. It is interesting to ponder over the situation as it might have been if, in the spirit of true effective prayer he had thrust himself into the breach, and had offered himself as part of the answer to that wonderful prayer. We do.not. need definiteness and a personal ~surrender to make prayer effective. Hence the help that can be derived in our prayer life from prayer cycles. They teach us to be definite.
