THE PASTOR’S DESIRE
The Apostle Paul expressed our
heart’s desite when he said, “Breth
ren, Pray for us,” (1 Thess. 5. 25).
How .do you feel toward your pas
tor? Did you ever stop to think that,
of all men, a minister receives1' the
len:t sympathy. He must visit the
sick, comfort the sorrowing ano
weep with those who weep. But
when sorrow, grief or misfortune
comes his way, who comds to him?
If he is not fortunate enough +o
please everybody why then he s.
criticised. Would it he more Christ
like to follow Paul’s request and
pray for him? When have you really
prayed for your pastor? When I say
“Brethren, pray for us,” I am sure
? that I ’expre.'s the desire of every
pastor in the town. We are just men
like you are. We are subject to mis
takes and fault just like you. Breth
ren, we £eed your prayer and will
you just now breathe a prayer for
your pastor, whoever he may be.
■n.
HAVE YOUtWON ONE?
(Sometime ago a number of us
pledged ourselves to win one for
Christ. Have you won one yet?
Whom are .you praying for? God an
swers prayer. He will answer your
prayer. Find an unsaved person.
Pray for them daily. Invite them to
come with y°u to church. Go by and
bring them. Sit v beside them in
ehurch and when the. invitation is
given be in earneitt prayer for them,
grid if the Spirit leads you, speak a
word to them. Come and tell the
pastor whom you are praying foi
and he will join his prayer with
' yours. We feel that the Lord has
greatly bleared our efforts this year.
Ha haa already added 80 to the
church the first three montns of
this year. “
j Pr^ress In The Sunday School
j The quarterly report of the Spray
j Baptist Sunday School ending Marcli
! 31s^ shows that splendid progress
I has been made during the quarter
j oveh the same quarter of the last
j three years. The average attendance
| for the quarter just ending is 19G.
The total amount of offerings re
ceived is $245.30. There were 82
new scholars enrolled, and 19 vis
itors present. The total number of
scholars present during the quarter
was 2352. The number now .m roll
is 274.
The first quarter of. 1922 showed
an average attendance of 179 in
comparison to 196 this year. The
total number on roll in 1922 was
271 and this year it is 274. This
present ending quarter show’s an
increase of 17 in average attend
ance over the first quarter of las'
year. The present roll 'only shows
a gain of three over last year. ’
The average attendance of the
first-quarter of 1921 was only 152.
The first quarter .of 1923 shows an
average gain of 44 in attendance
over 1921.
The first quarter of 1920 has «
still less average attendance of only
102. The average attendance o'
1923 over that of 1920 i? 94. This
only lacks four of being double the
average atendance in 1923 over
1920.
The careful reader will notice the
steady increase in attendance at
Sunday shcool during ‘the last three
years. It will be easy, with our new
rooms, to make 1923 the best year
'in our Sunday sehool in the history
of the Spray Baptist Church.
MINNEAPOLIS HOTEL TO HAVE
RADIO PLUGS IN EACH ROOM
Minneapolis, Minn., April, 7.—
In keeping with the radio progress
of the radio movement it will soon
be possible to “listen in” from
rooms of a large hotel here, which
has jpntracted for the connecting'
of each of several hundred rooms
with radio plugs. The guest will not
have to invest in a receiving set, as
headphones may be rented for a
small fee from the clerk’s office.
According to the plans of engin- ■
eerS who have worked on the
scheme for several weeks, a massive
aerial and three power receiving
stations will be equipped in one of
the top floors of the hotel. Each
| room will have a radio plug con
nected to one of the head receiving
yets. Feasibly df the plan was prov
ed recently when ir.ore than 100
rooms listened in on one concert.
The guest who, wishes radio en
tertainment may call, the- office and
set ol phones will be sent to him.
Once connected ih the plug, the set
cannot be removed until releastd by
a hotel employe, thus insuring
against theft by any unscrupulous
guest. A sm*fl fee is added to the
hotel bill for the use of the receiv
ing phones.

having risen yen 5 since the begin- j
ning of tht year. This compares with
an average price of yen 19.18 in j
1917 and yen 38.29 in 191-9
The purchase by the government .
of a million koku of last year’s j
crop, with a view of stabilizing the j
market, is held by some to be re-j
sponsible for the present compara
tively high price.
