THE BREVARD NEWS. BREVARD. NORTfl CAROLINA. FRIDAY; eCTOBHl. 11^ Ittl. PRAYERCORNER. OUR PRAYERSt Our prayers should be part of our fife. They should rule and influence all our living, always when we pray should look up^ expecting to re- cdire what we have asked for. Hiere are some <of our prayers A Almighty God, ofir Heavenly Fath er, help ui to remember, when we pray, that we are in Thy Presence, and Thou art very near to us; that Thou seest us; that the very secrets of our hearts are open to Tkee with whom We have to do. Give us sincerity. Make our pray ers real to us. Make* them a part of our life; ruling and influencing all -. . j Ml 1 j living. When we prj>y may we ^■luch. if answered, will work deep , , , .. ^ ^ „ look up,^ expecting to receive what and radical changes in our lives. If ive tried seriously to live up to them, woild be rising every d«y into bl^er spiritual altitudes. We pray to be made unselnsh. Do we mean 'it? nnselfish? If we put durselves und er discipline, to grow into unseliish- we have asked Thee for. May we ever feel a restraining our desires upon our conduct .r. ,, ^ j. -L. acts; and feel our hearts ever. Do we really want to become _ . i . „ ^ more an impulse toward love and all serving of others. Give us love for , ,, .1 ‘love seeketh not its own’. It lives nas, we should constantly find a re- atnuning hand upon our desires and dispositions, upon our conduct and acts, anil should feel in our -hearts ever more an impulse toward love, and all serving of others. Love seeketh not its own. It lives for others. It forgets self. As 1 have lov ed you, that ye also love one another is the Masters statement of the law of C!hristian life. | We pray to be made unselfish, dare we let the prayer be answered? It would change many things in our con (hict, in our treatment of others. It would set us in new relations to all about us. It woukl check in us the crafty desire, so common in dealing witH men, to get the better of the oiher man in all transactions, to have the best place. Some one has writ ten this little prayer: “O God, that I might spend my life for others, With no ends of my own. That I might pour myself into my brothers, | And live for them alone.” What would happen in our lives if these prayers should be answered? shall our desires and dispositions, our conduct ani our acts be like Thine dear Master, and as Thou hast loved us, so shall we love one another.

Through the wide relief operations thus made possible it is estimated that more than 600,000 famine, sufferers were saved from starvation. To the end that similar prompt re lief measures by the organization may always be possible the Red Cross is asking continued support by the Amer ican people by universal renewal of membership at the Annual Red Cross Roll Call, November 11 to 24.
