"Prayer changes things." An un
usual letter about this is on my
desk from a reader of this column.
The story goes back to 1931 in the
midst of the depression The bot
tom had fallen out of things for
him in every way. His business had
collapsed, and he had a critically
ill child. One night he was called
to a sales dinner in a small hotel.
Fie was surprised to see in the din
ing room a motto hung on the wall.
"Prayer Changes Things". The
motto gripped him. Returning to
his home town 25 miles away he
thought about that molto and pray
ed like he had never oraved be
fore. Ife gave his life and his busi
ness fully to his Uird. When he re
turned home he continued to pray.
Things commenced to change. His
child was restored to health. He
staged a remarkable business
, "come-back". j
And now for his present letter: j
"Perhaps you remember my story j
concerning the little three word
sfgn I saw in a hotel back in 1931.
I made up my ml ml that if I ever :
had a desirable Place to out iid
such a sign I would. Now, believe 1
it or not. I have just finished a
building of my own and it is paid
for. In my office which faces the
street, where every custoaier can
see as he enters the door is in large !
red fetters. 'Prayer Changes!
Things.' It has caused much com
ment. '
"I have a letter from a young
man. a father, who had to take h: i .
boy to John Hopkins Hospital for
a very serious lung operation. Some
time before he had been in my of
fice, saw the sign. Then he went to
the hospital with his son. He wrote
me that the sign on the office wall
had helped him through those dilfi-
eult days, that the boy survived the
operation, and was making a good
recovery
i
"If you had the time lo read it. ,
and I had the time to write it
could write all day. Everv eighth
day of January I write a letter to
myself in which I list my assets
and liabilities. Your letter to me
1 1 wrote himi came on January 8th.
and I stapled it to the better I had
just written to myself.
"Iast year when I. had to clean
house with my business, and fire
my old plant manager. I thoueht I
couldn't get along without him.
Whiskey caused him to lose a ioh
that paid him over $5,000 a year.
wnat would you say about a man
who had a good job which Jumped
him from $1,500 a year to over
$5,000 letting whiskey get him?
Well. I thought I couldn't run my
business without him, but the Lord
sent me another good man. honest,
and sober. Last year I had the
smoothest operation I have ever I
had in my life." Then follow his
financial statement, which is a good
one.
"Yes. Prayer Changes .Things.'
There is nothing like having God
as my Senior Partner." He con
cludes with a paragraph telling
about a new parsonage which has
just been built for his church to

Jesus Tecches the People
MASTER TELLS HOW SONS OF GOD SHOULD LIVE
I
By NEWMAN CAMPBELL
THERE HAS never been a
time in the world's history when
men and women who believe m
the things Jesus taught in his
Sermon on the Mount were so
much needed, as today
The world is sick, but what
hope and healthfulnexs could be
ob'..med if this great sermon
couid be taken to heart by all
the peoples of the earth, and
practiced. We have many new
drugs that help to tiring physical
health to those who are suffering
bodily ills, but there are no sulfa
drugs, penicillin, and other magic
substances that will comfort
those who mourn, who are per
secuted, who need mercy shown
them, or who are discriminated
against because of something that
they cannot help or change.
Crowds of people followed
Jesus everywhere some out of
curiosity, probably, many because
they loved lo listen to Him and
believed w hat He told them. The
latter were His disciples.
Seeing the multitudes of people
who followed Him. Jesus went up
into a mountain in the spring of
27 A. D We do not know what
mountain it was. but when He
had reached the top. He sat down
as was customary with teach
ers in those days and "taught
them."
What did He teach? Not
science, not history, or grammar
Scripture Matthew 5-7.
"Ye have heard it said (refer
ring to the old Jewish law). Thou
shalt love thy neighbor, and hate
thine enemy, but I say unto you
Love your enemies, and pray for
them that persecute you."
If you love only those who love
you, how much better are you
than others? Jesus asks. Every
one loves friends and neighbors,
but what of strangers that are
within our gates, or those who do
not like us7 Do we make th
strangers feel at home and happy
in a new lana instead of calling
them "foreigners" and ignoring
them ? Do we try to find out why
some folk dislike us. and strive
to see if the fault lies with us?
Jesus hated hypocrites. The
Scribes and Pharisees, who were
very careful to observe all the
forms and ceremonies of the law,
were often targets of his right
eous wrath. The giver to charit
able causes who wants everyone
to know how generous he has
been, or who gives because his
neighbor does, is rebuked by
Him "Therefore when thou doest
thine alms, do not sound a trum
pet before thee, as the hypocrites
do in the synagogues and in the
streets, that they may have
glory of men . . . But when thou
doest alms, let not thy left hand
know what thy right hand doeth."
"And when thou prayest. thou
shalt not be as the hypocrites

or any ordinary school subject,
but He gave them the rules to
follow if they would truly be
come sons of God His children.
These were the standards of
Christian living the mora,! laws
that His followers should keep
as their ideals and pursue un
ceasingly. "Blessed are they," said Jesus,
"who are poor in spirit." Whether
they are rich or poor in this
world's goods, they need not be
proud. Like Jesus Himself, they
ncd not think of themselves, but
of others, and. forgetting their
earthly condition, yet do good
deeds, and practice His teachings.
"Blessed are those that mourn,
for they shall be comforted."
When grief comes to some people,
they shut themselves up. concen
trate on their sorrow, and mourn
unceasingly Others and these
are the mourners who shall be
comforted realize that because
of their own grief they under
stand the sufferings of others,
and can help them to bear their
burdens.
"Blessed are the merciful, for
they shall obtain mercy."
"Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called sons of
God."
B,1sl, ,Ct"r,f ht"Jou"lnM "u "r Th tot national Cotuull of Xdlsteus
are: for they love to pray stand
ing in the synagogues and in the
corners of the streets, that they
may be seen of men . . . But when
thou prayest, enter into thy
closet, and when thou hast shut
the door, pray to thy Father
which is in secret."
"After this manner pray ye,"
Jesus said, and gave them the
Lord's prayer as an example.
Isn't it thrilling to think of the
millions of people all over the
world who have repeated that
simple prayer since Jesus gave
it to th multitude on the moun
tainside SO Inns' U on f Qmm a '
doubtless, heedless of Jesus' ad
monition, recite it without giving
much thoucrht to it. m..nn
but thousands more pray to their
ruier in rteaven with earnest

can give but a very small por-:
tion of this beautiful sermon j
which is really a number of ser-1
mons In one. It touches every
part "of our daily living;, and if!
wa remember Jesus' words and
