thought of god vivid in my own life therefore the christian needs to pray and study the bible i the christian and his praying matt g 515 this passage occurs in that section of the sermon on the mount which contrasts the new piety with the old jesus refers to three types of prayer a the bostoi audience prayer v 5 jesus warns against making prayer a mere performance the jews had stated hours for prayer morning noon evening some were careful to be found in some conspicuous place a cicwded street corner say when the prayerhour struck there sure to he observed they prayed an enthusi astic reporter once described a certain devotional effort as the finest prayer ever delivered before a boston audi ence such prayers get what they vant publicity reward means paid in full verte g commends that secret communion with god which was jesus own method b the mechanical prayer v 7 vain repetitions a ot of talk with out much behind it prayer tends to become a serie- of conventional re quests and set phrases which we rattle off without realizing their meaning without any serious attempt to live up to them is this the reason why so many sincere christian folk never go to prayermeeting prayer is not o be merely a want list our father knows already v 8 it is cultivating his friendship- tuning in the radio of the soul to c tch the music and message of the eternal when jesus prayed he met somebody what he got from god ivas god himself hs disciples dull as they were were wikened to the wonder and the power of it they came to him and asked teach us to pray like that c the model

meais referenced be all that thy name stands for beauty love goodness fatherhood may these characteristics and the relation- sli p of brother which they involve be more sacred to me th n anything else in life this aim is clearly impossible in a world organized on selfish individual istic lines where a man is forced to look upon his brother as a rival even an enemy hence this petition thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven v 10 jesus wants us to pray for a new era when j jstice will prevail when kindness will find expression whin purity will tri umph from the highest spiritual aspira tions the prayer suddenly drops to mans most common physical need bread v 11 jesus knew that grind ing poverty as well as too much wealth has souldestroying power hence the prayer enough for each day bread not for me alone nor for some of us but for all gods children the condition for forgiveness in v 12 is not arbitrary it is only the atti tude that forgives that can accept for giveness lead us not into temptation v 13 is probably better rendered let us not enter into temptation al though character needs testing the conflict is doubtful and even desper ate until victory is won when a man realizes the issues involved it is na tural for him to seek to avoid the ordeal ii the christian and his bible 2 tim 3 1417 paul emphasized the value of the scriptures for christian growth vs 16 17 why read them for the name reason that we read any other books for what they say o us the bible shows us the way of god with men inspired we know it is inspfrsd by the best of all

impres sion that the indian section of our population was steadily declining comes a statement from the depart ment of indian affairs to the effect that the latest census shows an ac tual increase of over 11000 since the previous census ton years ago we have usually had drawn for us a rather pathetic picture of the pass ing of a race a page turned down in the history of the land in tho united states as an actual matter of fact the indian population is de- creasing rapidly through intermar riage but it seems that our more stimulating climate and the fact that there is relatively little inter marriage here combine to perpetuat3 the race tho care devoted to the welfare of all indian communities in canada is well known and the de partment may congratulate itself and stick another

size of a trout is not necessar ily a guide to its age officials of the us fish division of the dept of conservation say this they point out is frequently proved in rearing stations where it often happens that trout raised from the same batch of fry will range in length from two to seven inches when the ponds are sein ed in september the explanation of this is that here and there an especially vigorous trout has managed to obtain a little more food than the others or to live near the head of the pond where the water is fresher and contains more living organism on which to feed these fortunate individuals grow more rapidly than the rest and early learn to use their superior strength to keep the others away from the most desirable feeding areas themselves lying near the head screens ready to seize the choice flies bugs and small organisms carried down the stream the smaller trout must content themselves with the artificial food given them by the station attendant and as a result it is not long before they are in danger of being consumed by their brothers who have grown to such a superior size jack dempsey looks worried but hes not behind tho bars only studying his act
