THE PRAYER CORNER
DELIGHTING IN
GOD'S COMFORT.
The Psalmist says "In the multi
tude of my thoughts within me Thy
Comforts delight my soul" ? Psalm
94:19. But I afraid that among
the multitude of our thoughts within
us there are far too often many more
thoughts of our own DISCOMFORTS
rather than of GOD'S COMFORTS.
We must think of His Comforts if we
are to be comforted by them. It
might be a good exercise of soul for
Stone of us to analyze our thoughts
a few days, and see how many
jBoughts we actually do give to God's
Amiforts, compared to the number
we give to our own discomforts. I
think the result would amaze us.
One word I must add in conclusion.
If any of my readers are Preachers
of the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, I woud like to ask them what
they are commissioned to preach.
The TRUE COMMISSION in my
opinion is to be found in Isaiah 40:
1, 2: "Comfort ye, comfort yc my
people saith your God. Speak yc com
"flMdubly to Jerusalem, and cry unto
^Bthat her warfare is accomplished
awa her iniquity is pardoned, for she
hath received of the Lord's Hands
double for all her sins." Comfort ye
my people is the Divine Command,
DO NOT SCOLD THEM. If it is the
Gospel you feel called to preach,
then see to it that you do really
preach Christ's Gospel and not man's.
Christ's Gospel is alway good news,
and never bad news. Man's gospel is
generally a mixture of a little good
news and a great deal of bad news,
and even where it tries to be good
news it is so hampered with ifs and
buts, and with all sorts of man-made
conditions that it utterly fails to
bring any lasting joy or comfort.
The only Gospel that to my think
ing, can rightly be called THE GOS
PEL, is that one proclaimed by the
angel to the frightened shepherds,
who were in the fields, keeping watch
over their flocks by night: "Fear not,"
said the angel, "for behold I bring
you good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people. For unto you
is born this day, in the city of David
a Saviour which is Christ the Lord."
Never were more comfortable words
preached to any congregation; and if
only all the preachers in all the pul
pits would speak the same comfort
able words to the people, and if all
the congregations who heard these
words, would believe them, and would
take the comfort of them, there would
be no more uncomfortable Christians
left anywhere: and over the whole
land would be fulfilled the Apostle's
prayer for the Thessalonians, "Now
our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and |
God, even our Father, which hath
loved us and hath given us everlast
ing consolation and good hope
through grace, comfort your hearts,

A PRAYER
0 God, Most Holy, and Moat
gracious, we would not be selfish in
our prayers. We cannot come into
Thy Presence without bringing in our
hearts the tears, the pain, the longing
of our brothers and sisters in Christ.
O God, our sympathy with them is
but the broken reflection of Thine.
Come Thou to Jhe burdened, the
wretched, the grief stricken, those
who have been made sad by others,
and those who have brought sadness
upon themselves. May they hear by
faith, the still voice of Thy Sympathy.
May they feel the beating of Thy
Great Heart of Compassion. May
they take comfort in the assurance
that Thou dost suffer in and with
them, and yet abidest in everlasting
blessedness.
Hear our prayers in behalf of all
those who are struggling against the
power of evil. Have pity upon the
drunkard, restore to him the power
of self control. Enable him to obey
the behests of reason and conscience.
Lay Thy Healing, Soothing Hand
upon the victims of nervous tension,
of sleepless nights "and fruitless
days. Give them rest of soul, that
the body too may be at rest. Relieve
those who are in pain. Grant them
patience and courage, and let them
not doubt Thy goodness of love. Call
the sinning and the suffering into
fellowship with Christ that they may
find in Him the secret of victory over
the evil of the world, that He may
rise in their souls, a star burning
brightly through the long night unto
the perfect day. These blessings we
beg in His Name, and for His sake,
Amen.

FEEDS
IN EVERY THIMBLEFUL/
14 FEEDS. . .all in one tiny Uiimbleful. 14 good feeds
which are there in just the right proportion. There's
the story of a real chick starting feed . . . Purina
Startena Chow. A real story because one thimbleful
of feed is all one chick can put into its little crop
in one day.
Out of this tiny thimbleful a chick must get so
much. That's why the 14 different feeds are there.
Cod-liver oil... dried buttermilk ... alfalfa flour...
granulated meat. . .wheat germ meal linseed meal
. . .these and eight other feeds are in every thimble
ful of Purina Startena Chow. . .each one with a real
job to do. Mixed over and over... 960 times...
every thimbleful alike.
The 1930 national feed survey of 1,834,513 chicks
tells you the kind of a job these thimblefuls do. At
six weeks of age, 92 out of every 100 Purina-fed
chicks are alive and growing. And they weigh an
average of one -fourth of a pound more than other
chicks. There's the story for you! The proof that
the 14 feeds in Purina Startena Chow (mash or all
mash) actually give a chick the many, many things
it must get from a thimbleful of feed. Purina Startena
^ Chow is here. . .ready for you to feed. Call or drop
in on us in your first spare moment.
