Weekly Devotional Column By James Mackenzie “ ... with all prayer and supplica tion . . . ” (Ephesians 6:18). What is prayer? A well-known preacher has said that prayer is ask -opig and receiving, only this and noth g more. Someone else, taking issue A with that definition, tells us that prayer consists of self-examination and confession of sin. The child’s classical answer to this question is, “Prayer is talking with God.” Which is right? I think we may conclude they all are, for the scope of prayer is greater than any of us realize. Someone has very helpfully outlined for us a few of the different divisions of nrayer. They, are: ADORATION. Tn this type of prayer we bring to mind the many reasons why God is to he praised, and honored, and adored as the kind heav enly Father He is. Have you ever told God that you love Him? The psalms are saturated with nravers of adoration. “Bless the I.ord, 0 my soul: and all that is within me, blessi His holy name.” “Praise ye the Lord, O give thanks unto the Lord: for He is good: for His mercy endureth for ever.” “Our Father which are in heaven, Hallowed he thy name.” These are all nravers of adoration. THANKSGIVING. This is simply saying “Thank you” to God for the many blessings He is continually ; showering upon us. I fear that most : of us are negligent when it comes to ; this division of nrayer. CONFESSION. ' Unconfessed sin forms a barrier between the saint and his God. but “if we confess our sins, | He is faithful and just to forgive us ' our sins, and to cleanse us from all un-! righteousness” (T John 1:9). We may ' hide our sins from our fellow men, ] hut God sees the heart, and before Him we need to confess, and ask for ; forgiveness and cleansing. PETITION. This is asking some- ' thing for ourselves. Jesus said. “Ask ' and it shall be given you; seek, and ( ye shall find; knock, and it shall he opened unto vou.” INTERCESSION. This is asking God to send a blessing to someone else. Jesus’ prayer in John 17 is call ed Christ’s Intercessory Prayer he- ] cause He was praying for His dis- j ciples. COMMITMENT. This is dedication:; of ourselves to God. Jesus’ prayer of | was, “Not my will, butC ™thine, be done.” Before any of us I be of service to God it is neces-j sary to honestly offer a prayer of commitment. I All three Persons of the Trinity are I involved in our pravers. We pray IN ' the Spirit, THROUGH the Son, TO'! the Father. Our prayers are valid only so far as they are prayer in the Holy Spirit, since He alone is able to interpret the will of God to us, and bring it to pass in our hearts and lives. Our prayers are valid only so | far as they are offered through the: Son. for “there is one God, and one I mediator of God and men. the man j Christ Jesus” (I Timothy 2:5. Roman! Catholic translation). Following the Scriptural example, we are to direct our prayers to the Father.

Debt Limit I do not believe the Administration ’has made a case to prove that this: ‘step is necessary. To me, this is a (dangerous habit. If we are in war ori some other grave emergency, that is | different: but I can’t subscribe to the: theory that we must continue to bor-' row money to saddle future genera- 1 tions with debt unless we have done everything to cut the fat out of our spending. I voted against extending the debt last session and I expect to do so at this session. Economic Aid The Mutual Security Act is a very complicated matter. It covers all phases of foreign military and eco nomic assistance. As you know, last iyear aid cost around seven billion dol lars. It is proposed to cost less this j year. Since 1940, Uncle Sam has ex pended almost SIOO billion dollars in 'grants and credits to foreign govern iments. Grants are usually outright ; gifts. A large portion of this amount has | been in economic aid. I believe any j thinking person felt the necessity to go to the aid of war-destroyed econ jomies and suffering people to help I them get on their feet after the war. i j The Least loullßeer Pay for Big Car Performance a/u/luxury ! m Pontiac CHAS.

C., THURSDAY, JULY 15, 1954. I [We did that. But now the question is—will there ever be an end to costly foreign aid ? I sincerely doubt that we can, in the immediate future, elim inate foreign MILITARY aid, but I think we must eliminate foreign ECO NOMIC aid so long as our nation’s bud get remains unbalanced. National Debt Our total national debt, subject to statuatory limitation, is now running 'around $270 billion dollars. The fiscal 'year ending June 30 was the first full '• fiscal year in office for the Eisenhow er Administration and it left a deficit in the budget of almost $3,300,000,000. For this reason, I plan to vote against what I believe to be wasteful foreign economic spending. At the same time, I will support necessary foreign mili tary spending. Red China I have been asked about my position on the admission of Red China as a member of the United Nations. My reply is that we must vigorously oppose admitting Red China. No only does Communist China have the blood of American soldiers on her hands, but she has also been at war with the UN, she still holds American men as prisoners, and many other rea sons compel us to resist her admis sion. I At this time, I cannot go so far as to say that we ought to withdraw our Biggest Buy* membership if Red China were admit ted. I think it would be better to meet that problem when it arises and work hard in the meantime to keep it from happening. I believe we can. We must never let communism take over in the world through a diplomatic forfeit by the United States. 125 Receive Old Age Assistance In June During June 125 persons in Chowan County received $3,110 in old age as sistance, while 13 aid to dependent children received $483, 12 blind cases $451 and 13 aid to permanently and totally disabled $463.

Other financial as sistance included five cases hospitaliz ed in the county, $.308.50, two cases hospitalized outside the county, $30.75 and $6.00 for medicine. Service cases included one adult pa rolee under supervision, five child la bor certificates issued and 16 children receiving individual service.
