This lesson brings the Christian to the acme of hi3 life. In his prayer life he comes in contact with the Holy Trinity as in no other way. lie talks oil eft to God. He has learned to know Clod as his Father in him he confides io him he makes all "his wants and wishes known;'.' relying on the prom ises of God, which are "Yea and Amen." In Christ Jesus, he comet, with "boldness to the throne of grace" (Ileb. 4:10); "draws near with a true heart, in full assurance cf faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and oujod ie:; w a?hedv.ith pure water (Heh. 10 22); in this condition" cf heart lie tained from three to fifteen words. In order that man might model to follow in praying, Jesui gives his disciples a form or model. In comparison, for vain repetition in prayer, see I Kings, 1S:26 and Acts 19:3 4. These are specimens that should cure anyone of such folly. Then there are a few long prayers on record in the Eible not of vain repeti tion, such as the dedicatory prayer of Solomon (3S verres) found in I Kings S:2S-61. and Jesus' high priestly prayer (17 verses) John 17. An explanation of thi3 model pray er would take too much space; we can rt.ly generalize in a" formal way. The petitioner recognizes the , Fatherhood of God, that also teaches the brother- From Tresday's Dally Last evening the Flattsiuouth Woman's club had the pleasure or seeing slides and hearing about Alaska from Mrs. J. B. Archer of the Archer Travel Bureau of Omaha and her sister, Mrs. Arthur, who recent ly returned from Alaska. These pic tures were shown at the public li brary.

Our Messed Lord gives us in the above Bible passage instructions for cue family, and the members cf a family ought to have enough of the clan spirit in them that they all pull together. That alone ought to "make "effectual" prayer first, what to war impossible and eliminate strikes avoid and in the second place what rules to observe to obtain the bless ing. The Pharisees and the Scribes in Jesus' day made a show and a pre tense of their religion. On the street corners ar.d in the synagogues, they vculd stand where many could fee them and make long prayers with out any heart in them. Jesus says they are hypocrites double-faced a false pnfesscr. They are an abomi nation in the sight of God. The most blessed hours for the Christian are those when he is alone with God in the closet, the door shut, the world and all matters pertaining to the world left outside. Unhindered, un moier'.ed, undisturbed, he lays his soul hare before his God. The Jews October 12th, sixteen members of the X-L club met at Mrs. J. I.

WalforJ expressed the longing and the soul's desire in the beautiful hymn: Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!

The closet is the power-house fcr the Christian; if he neglects it ar.d loses contact with tha dynamo the Holy Spirit, he will be in darkness and powerless and what use is such a man? We fear that the path to the secret prayer-ch set cf many is over grown with gra:s why so many are so weak and fall with the least temptation. Another injunction is cgainst vain repetitions. Especially in the public service, wc often have to stand and listen to the long drawn-cut "talks" to the Lord by preachers and lay men alike when all they tay could be uttered in fifteen words, but by "vain repetitions" it becomes a tire-; ers offered in the New Testament con-; g-ylc-rlct me walk with thee.' and the doing of harm one to another. Christ teaches ycu to pray, first as a child: "Our Father;" then as a wor shipper: "hallowed be thy name." The child's place is the highest; the wor shipper comes next. "Thy kingdom come" calls for God's rule in every life: when every life is subject toj Christ's rule, then the prayer of Jesus is fulfilled "that they may Le one, as we are." (John 17:11). Then God's will will be done by his children as it is done by the ministering angels of God himself. That would usher the millenium in. The bread problem was with Christ in the wilderness temptation, as he fed the five thous and and four thousand, all through his life. He knew that man must have bread and that it must come from God, but that man must do his fhare, must help hi:v.:-e!f if he would be helped by him. Our daily bread the daily bread of all who are able bed'ed adult persons is curs if we have earned it; when by our labor ve have provided it for ourselves. The giving of doles or charity may cause some to forget the necessity of working for their self-support, caus ing such people to lone their felf herpect and rlinl: into pauperism. The forgiving of debt3 or faults is the hard part in life; it requires more grace than to endure suffering of pain and Iofs of possessions. But only in the measure as we forgive will we be forgiven. Cod will sustain his children in temptations but will not load them into temptation testing them yes, but not to evil. The "abundant rewards of prayer" are recounted by St. Paul in Eph. 3: 1-1-21.
