"Pruy without "', .ceasing; in everything give fliank8."-4 Thess. 6:17-18. $$UutmTki- Matt. 6:5-15; Ephes "V; lam 5:2i; I Thesa. 5:16-17. The first eighteen verses of the Jk sixth chapter of Matthew, a very im l"x . porfcant part of Christ's Sermon on the Mount, give three specific warn iiS Inga that godliness rs not a hypocri- !tica! outward show, but is the quality :, of goodness in the inner man. The first warning is against hypocritical almsgiving, the second against insin n er prayer and the third against 2 faeng, or ceremonial insincerity. : ; To approach God through the med- ium of prayer is the greatest privl V lege and the greatest need of man Sf kind. However, we need to face some very important .questions about prayer. ' yv v What place in this modern world . ha prayer? Does the great Creator concern himself with the compara m tifely unimportant petitions of mere mortal, allowing selfish and trivial : ' . personal pleas to compete with the business of world-making ana me management of universes? ' Do the great mass of men and ."T . i it - . i women wno can usnieivca jimo ians really believe in prayer as a 'reource of spiritual strength, as an avenue through which the gateway f to .the goal of their efforts may be ifodnd and passed through, or has be 5uef in prayer dwindled to a mere for- mality in the recitations of belief ' with no real, concrete application to life and its tasks ? These questions are being asked to day and must be answered. Only re cently we talked with a sincere seek , er of truth, a member of a church, an official in a minor capacity, whose faith in prayer had been shaken bad ly, who was beginning to doubt if God primarily exerted Himself at the behest of man. He had seen some things go wrong, which he couldn't explain, and he was selecting that way out of the diffi jktajKy of understanding rather than ; place upon God Himself the responsi bility for the outcome of events. , With human, appreciation he was at - tempting to strike a balance upon the jjtstice and righteousness of God's . .: dispensations, whereas so many fac tore enter into such a subject, such ':' as the deservingiiess of those con cerned, the faith entertained, the . spirit of their quests, and so on, that nq man if in a position to appraise tifie benefits or evils which might flow from grant or refusal. ; In almost every age, even primitive man as studied, we find that a ten- ; dency of prayer to higher powers has , ben instinctive and, general to the .r' human race. As Carlyle said, "Pray er is the native and deepest impulse of the soul of man." Numerous ex- iples have been given of those who iffed at the power of prayer but r mm , . o in suaaen extremity ana aire ril, or facing forces- beyond their wn power to combat, turned spon taneously to prayer and besought the aid of the Creator of all mankind. $oo often, our prayers are peti , tions, asking God for something. We are like small children who ask for all- aorta of things but who all too often forget to thank the loving father who provides the things want- t))'" ed. A study of the prayerrlife of " Jesus reveals that his were prayers '0:Jlk thanksgiving, for blessings re fceived and for promises fulfilled, as ;.':well. as petitions for things desired. Jesus never gave mankind any set '" of formal words, in which to couch 3l.thjsir pleas to God in the sense of ex delusiveness 'or as with a special .v .eharm, for he was concerned not so much -with the form as with the spir- ,,"llfeaVl!!P AWn TH ANTfSCIVINC . it l nrlit.t InUmmH. At, OnA w i-- V ) J C 'to to& h outlined 'in the '.world- w,nHwt lamjuar prayer oi unnstianjty, t&K- en from the Sermon on the Mount, a model prayer for mankind. "The Lord's Prayer" has been found suf ficient in its . simple words to embrace tne entire needs or man. It opens with an admission of kinship, which is followed by six petitions, three of which, align the petitioner with God's plans while the other three concern his own individual life, closing with its own doxology. Jesus taught much of prayer, the most intimate and personal approach of man to God. As he retired usually to a private place -of prayer, he ad vised men to "enter into thy closet and when thou hast shut the door, pray to thy father." He warned against "vain repetitions", wanting human beings to speak only their hearts in prayer. He insisted upon humility as a proper attitude of a supplicant, wonderfully illustrated by the comparison between the publican and Pharisee at prayer. He required a forgiving spirit toward other men as a condition precedent to God's ans wering prayer, yet he taught time and again that faithful and proper prayer would be heard by God. : v v ft. lie ""'V Pi,. ft ft TAYLPO T!I?ATBE -i p)ErroN,-N c.
