By J. L. WALTER MOOSE “Neither pray I for these alone, hut for them also which shall be lieve on me through their word.’’ John 17:20. Jesus often prayed, and most of the time he was praying for others. Perhaps, when we pray, we pray most for ourselves. There is a reason for that. We feel keenly the fact that we fall far short of what we want to be, and do, and say. It is good that we recognize our shortcomings, for we cannot be a blessing until we have been blessed. Our Lord looked down the cen turies of time and prayed for all of us. He prayed that we might be able to stand upright in the world of temptation that would surround , us. He wanted us to be strong and I to go forth as witnesses for him. This is our age, our time. If we will remember that our Christ still makes intercession for us, it will help us to live for him. Eternal God. give us the strength to live our days for thee; through Jesus Christ our iLord. Amen. READ THE CLASSIFIEDS JULY...
