THE PRAYER CORNE!
AN ABIDING COMFORTER
"He abideth with you, and shall 1
in you A Comforter" ? what a wo",
of bliss, if we only could realize 1
Let un repeat it over and over to ou;
selves, until its meaning sinks inl
the very depth of our being. And a
"Abiding Comforter" too, not one wh
comes and goes, and is never on han
when most needed, but one who is a
ways ready to give us "Joy fo
mourning, and the garment of prais
for the spirit of heaviness."
The very words "Abiding Comfort
er" are an amazing revelation. Tr;
to comprehend them. We think our
? selves when we are in trouble, if w
can have a human comforter to sta;
with us for only a few days, but her
13 a Divine Comforter who is alway
staying with us, iftid whose power ti
comfort is infinite. Never, never
ought we for a single minute, to b<
without comfort; never for a singl<
minute ought we to bo uncomfortable
I have often wondered whethei
those early disciples at all realize*
what this glorious legacy of a Com
? forter meant. I am very sure th<
' majority of the disciples now do not
If they did, there could not possiblj
bo so many uncomfortable Christians
about.
But you may ask whether this Di
vine Comforter does not sometimes
reprove us for our sins, and whether
we can get comfort out of this. In
my opinion this is exactly one of the
places where the Comfort comes in.
For what sort of creatures should we
be. if we had no Divine Teacher al
ways at hand to show us our faults,
and awaken in us a desire to get rid
of them?
"If," Baid a woman writer whom I
highly esteem, "I am walking along
the street with a very disfiguring
hole in the back of my dress, of
which I am in ignorance, it is cer
tainly a very great comfort to have a
kind friend who will tell me of it, and
similarly it is indeed a comfort to
know that always abiding with me
is a Divine All-Seeing Comforter who
will reprove me for all my faults, and
will ndt let me go on in a fatal un
consciousness of them." Emerson says
"It is far more to a man's interest,
that he should see his own faults
than any one else should see them,
and a moments thought will convince
us that this is true, and will make
us thankful for the Comforter who
reveals them to us.
' I remember vividly," said the
above writer, "the comfort it used to
be to me, when I was young, to have
a sister who always knew what was
the light and proper thing to do, and
who, when we went out together, al
ways kept me in order. I never felt
any anxiety or responsibility about
myself if she was by, for I knew

Manv people are slowly poisoning
themselves just as surely as if they
drank iodine every morning for break
fast. They are daily absorbing the
toxins, or poisons, created by accumu
lated waste matter in their constipated

di?oase will conquer their weakened
bodies.
if you have headaches, coated
tongue, bad breath, no appetite,
bilious attacks, you are probably
suffering from self poisoning caused
by constipation. A relief for this

D she would keep a strict watch over
X me, and nudge me or whisper to me
if I was making any mistakes. I
was always made comfortable and
not uncomfortable by her presence.

t. one to keep me straight.''
r- The declaration is that He "com
;o forts all our waste places,' and He
? does this by revealing them to us, and
o at the same time showing us how He
d can make our wilderness like Eden,

r the Lord.
? You may object, perhaps, that you
are not worthy of His Comforts. I do
? not suppose you are. No one ever is. I
Y But you need His comforting, and all
" the mot? you need it, because you are j
0 not worthy. Christ came into the j
' world to save sinners, not good peo
s pie, and your unworthiness is your

3 A PRAYER
: Father of all Mercies, God of all
? Comfort, we bring before Thee the :
[ record of our lives, stained with the |
1 memories of sin and failure. Be pa- ,
? tient with us, for if Thou turn Thy '
'? face from us we are lost. Cast us '
? not from Thy Presence, and take not.
' Thy Holy Spirit, The Comforter, '
1 from us. Here we would remember j
before Thee the wants and sorrows of ?
? our fellows. Unto those, 0 God, who (
1 feel the pain and mystery of life, let <
' the Sun of Righteousness arise with 1
healing in His wings. Remember in
pity, the sick, the distressed of body i
or of mind. Many and great are
1 the disorders of our mortal nature, j
the souls of all who be on beds of '
but Thy medicines are mightier. Open t
weariness to the inflow of Thy Di- 1
vine Life. In the silence may they <
hear Thy voice saying "I have heard t
thy prayer, I have seen thy tears, be- t
hold I will heal thee." i
For the burden bearers, the tempest e
tossed, the afflicted and not comfort- J
ed, we pray. Thy consolations are '
gerater than all the sorrows of the t
world. Bind up the broken hearted, ?
and with Thy touch heal all those 1
wounds of the souls that bleed and '
will not cease. Give a spirit of en- j
durance and of trust to those whose
thorn in the flesh must remain. Save i
them from despair, from the indiffer- i
ence of a heart without faith, and
perfect Thy strength in their weak- o
ness. Comfort all men everywhere v
with Thy Light, and guide them by I
fhy Comforting Spirit, for Jesus e
Christ's sake. Amen. !d

.W:M
is an
economical ear
to own and drive
Low firat coat, low coat of oper*
ation and np-keep, and low yearly
depreciation mean a diaiinet saving
to every purchaaer i
THE NEW FORD is a splendid ear to own and drive
because of its attractive lines and colors, safety, com
fort, speed, reliability and long life.
There are, in addition, three other feature* of
importance to every far-seeing automobile owner , , .
low first cost, low cost of operation and up-lceep, and
low yearly depreciation.
During the life of the car, the day-by-day economy
of owning a Ford will amount to considerably more
than the saving on the first cost. You save when you
buy the Ford and you save every mile you drive.
The reasons for this economy are simplicity of
design, high quality of materials and care in manu
facturing and assembling. Many vital parts are made
to limits of one one-thousandth of an inch. Some to
three ten-thousandths of an inch. Throughout, the
new Ford is an outstanding example of fine crafts
manship in automobile engineering.
The more you see of the new Ford? the more you
talk to Ford owners and experienced mechanics? the
more certain you become of this fact. ... It brings
you everything you want or need in a motor car at an
unusually low price.
