Be Fair in Your Prayer
Golden Text: "Thy Kingdom
Come Thy will be done. Matthew
6:10.
Some preachers when they are en
deavoring to raise money, appeal to
the grosser impulses of man, rather
thn to the things which they should
do. We have seen them asking for a
ten dollar contribution and when
one had subscribed to the amount,
urged others to join that class, in
order that they might receive just as
much worldly glory as the other man
and not have to step down to the
five dollar class. This does not look
right as they are obtaining money
under worldly pressure which should
be given with a full sense of the un
derstanding that the cause for which
they are giving the money is just,
right and needed in the case. Such
was the case when the rich men were
casting their gifts into the treasury
and then the poor widow came and
cast her mite and all she had.
"Verily, she has cast in more than
them all," said the Master. For she
in her poverty had done all she could
and not for the matter of being seen
by the world. This being done for
the glory of man, said the made they
will get and that alone for there will
be no reward come from the Father
for they have not given in the prop
er spirit. There are also many who
love to make long prayers that they
may be seen of men. Well do we re
member whn someone was visiting
and his many words he multiplied
in returning thanks, going over the
catalogue of needs to the human race
as well as the fact of praying for
the Hottentot, the Kaffir, the Zulu,
and in fact all they could think of
until their voice was raspy and we
v.-ho were waiting were getting hun
grier every minute.
It is a fact that in the matter of
prayer one must like in a court of
chancery of equity come into that
court with clean hands, that
is when we pray we must be willing
:o give what we ask. When we want
3 clean slate we must be willing to
count off our offsets.
As the Father knows well what
we are needing, the spirit of prayer
is the most essential thing and the
Master says pray thus when you pray
and you need not repeat over and
over again the words, for there is
nothing in the words. But pray thus:
"Our Father, who art in heav
en; Hallowed be thy name; Thy
kingdom come; thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven. Give
us this day our daily bread, and
forgive us our debts as we for
give our debtors. Lead us not in
the way of temptation, but deliv
er us from the evil one. - For
thine is the kingdom, the power
and the glory forever. Amen."
He then sums up the matter In
this manner: Come into court with
clean hands, for unless you forgive,
you cannot be forgiven. Unless we
are just with orr fellow man, we
need not expect justice from them,
only in the sense that we will be! re
compensated for our evil works.
When we say "Our Father," we
must understand to be such we are
his child, and must so live as to be
indeed a child of God. The Lord's
prayer means a square deal for ev
eryone, and when we say "Lead us
not into temptation," we are not to
go flirting around with those things
which we know are tempting, like
the man who was hunting work and
praying the Lord all the time that
he would not find it. "Deliver us
from all evil" does not mean that
after we have said these words, we
are at liberty to go nosing around
making goo goo eyes at the devil and
any of his family.
We must be square in our prayers,
and we cannot pray, "Forgive us
our tresspasses," and then hold a
grudge against out fellow man, for
this proposition is alligned only on
the proposition, that we are to be
forgiven just as we forgive those who
have tresspassed against us, the
most just and equitable proposition
in the Universe.
In this spirt of true prayer, when
we ask a prayer in a right way, and
the Eternal Father will supply the
way. God and America, expects
every man to do his duty, and do his
best. "Give us this day our daily
bread" does not mean that we are
to lay back with our mouths open
like a robin before its eyes are open.
and wait for then to be filled, but to
get out and rustle for since the
fall of man, we are expected to earn
our bread by the sweat of our brow,
and sometimes we must sweat all
over. God will furnish the way, and
supply the other requirments, but
we must work. Also this daily bread
is that which comes down from
Heaven, even the Son of God him
self which came to rescue us fram
our sins, that is our very selves.
The spirit of prayer must be right,
and we must be square in our prayers
and the Father is ever ready to do
his part, "For God so loved the
world, (the human race,) that he
gave his only begotten son, that
whosoever believeth on Him might
parish, but have everlasting life."
