One girl’s life was changed by a letter from another girl in which was this paragraph: “I want to have power with God in prayer; to be a woman of prayer; never to be too busy to look up, or to sit quietly at his feet and talk with him.” I Lord,Lwhat a change within us one -â€"â€"vv--OU vv IU'CIIL‘ us) UI‘U s'hqrt hdur Speqyl‘n _thy presence will avail to make! What .burdensulighten, what temp» Prayer is a spiritual habit which may be cultivated. It makes a chan- nel in character through which good will flow. Romans 8. 26, 27. The great saints are those who have learned to pray '“according to the will of God." If there is anything in prayer, there is everything. Either we are tak- ing it too seriously and wasting too much energy, or we are not intel- ligent and learning to pray accord- ing to God’s laws. Definitions and Illustration: Habit is a channel through which good or had may flow. It may be cultivated in the spiritual realm as in the physncal and mental. In this respect, you are different from five or ten years ago; i.e., it is harder to change a habit. Be master of physncal, mental and 'spiritual ha- 'bit's. Luke “.1. “Lord, teach us to pray!” A petition. which should precede every prayer. Possibly our first real prayer was our first consciousness of relation- ship. If we are talking with God in the same vocabularly which we used in childhood, we may be spirâ€" itual dwarfs. We all pray according to our re- lationship with God. Saying prayers in a mechanical way will not bring about a vital relationship with God. Real prayer is consciousness of re- lationship with God. We pra be- cuse we know we are his chi dren and can call Him “Our Father.” Mi§s Florahel Nichol is home from Toronto University for the holidays. ford are visiting with Mr. and Mrs. 68.9136 lumen.-. - PRAYER THE DURHAM CHRONICLE “James is a young man who was formerly a pretty regular attend- ant at our chapel. About three years ago, his master thought he was too religious, and that he would spoil the rest of the negroes with his Methodism. This leavening is seen in the journal of John Smith, the martyr of Demerara. That journal was seized for the use of the vindictive court martial which tried him in 1823, and finally condemned him to death most unjustly, for conceal- ment of treason. Here is one characteristic entry: “Easter Monday, April 23, 1821. “I baptized sixty adults and twen- ty-one children, and married a great number. “Among those that were baptized were three negroes, Jemima, Paul and James. from the (plantation) Reeeonable, Mahaicony. The discovery that their afl‘airs were the concern of One Wlhom many of them called “God A’mighty amp” was the beginning of a new day for. the slaves, for it broke through the sullen indilference into which the system of slavery had driven them and gave the negroes a new self-respect. Canning feared that the emanci- pated slave would be a Frankenstein monsterâ€"power without conscience; and he spoke the thoughts of the majority. But there was a leaven of Christian faith among the ne~ groes when freedom came, which made all the difference. So the slaves had the Wbrd of Life put into their hands, and its proclamation for liberty for the cap- tives brought its own fulfilment. After the slave trade hed been outlawed (1Q 1807). the pellet pre- vailed that It was possnhle to re- tain slavery as an Institution and to give the eoneolation of the Goa- pel to those Still in bondage. [A Religion For Slavesl Nothing did more to bring about the emancipation of the slaves in the British Colonies than the circu- lation of the Scriptures a hundred years ago.
