tcreamkl fl I I on ffil Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson, Special Training of the Twelve. Mark 6:30-32; Luke 11:1-4; 11:9-13, for Sunday, March 20. Since one learns by doing, the twelve apostles had been sent out on a special mission in Gallilee, preaching and healing; after this they were taught how to pray. V. 30. "And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught." A good report Is worth telling. These apostles had much to tell on how the gospel plan worked. |'

Let it be known that the gospel works today if Christians will work it- / V. 31. "And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a for there were many coming and for there w eermany coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat." Faithful workers need rest as well as a special time for spiritual refreshing. Special spiritual training then as now comes when alone with the Mas-

ter. V.. 32. “And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.", The crowd was so eager to see Jesus that the only time Christ was alone with the disciples was while on the ship. We must take: advantage of every quiet moment, ■ though we may have planned other- i wise, for devotion and communion, ! with God. • V.l. "And it came to pass, that, as he was praying, in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him. Lord teach us to nray, as John also taught his disciples." Listening to Jesus pray aroused a desire in the disciples to pray more effectively. Prayer is most essential in living the Christian life. To live well , spiritually is to pray well. Note ('that Jesus prayed much. There was | a reason for this. Likely the one j great reasqn .was to know the will Jof God concerning everything he I was about to say and do. When , w-e fully surrender to God, his ; will is first in our lives and we need to seek constantly to know it. V. 2. "And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done as in heaven, so on The greatest need is for Christians to impart spiritual force to, others so that the total world! force will be such a spiritual power as to overcome the force of arms. This means Uiat firsy there I will be developed an individual' spiritual power. This is done by making the will of God supreme, an attainment which calls for a lot of prayer, Bible reading, and conscientious living. s LESSON PRAYER: . Lesson prayer: Dear Master, we, too. come to thee to learn to! pray. We have outgrown our 1 child's prayer and we want now to pray as a matured child of God. Grant that we may keep our earnest desire to know and do thy will hat we may never let ourselves down spiritually.

earth." The principles of correct praying Jesus taught. The words “Our Father" mean we are all brothers of a God who like an earthly father cares for his children. It is such a sacred thing to pray that God's very name is hallowed. It is a holy thing to ppproach God; it ought to be done thoughtfully with profound reverence. In praying "Thy kingdom come” we are aiming at our highest goal. This kingdom comes as the King of kings is enthroned in individual hearts. "Thy will be done" calls for a full surrender of our sins for pardon and ourselves for service; in that service we are to be like Jesus in first calling men to repentance, and secondly, in strengthening believers; so our program has to do with maintaining His church at home, participating in all reform welfare, and the I great missionary work. I V. 3. “Give us this day our daily

Hi L bread." We are to live only a day at a time. We need to recognize that only by God’s plan and will ’ has the earth made to produce; j and as far as it is possible, we ] work with God in this production, j remembering that it is God that . does the most, as multiplying one , grain into many grains. ] V. 4. “And forgive us our sins; , for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver ( us from evil." Here is a . test of a sincere Christian. We ' can not permit the least ill will to- ' ward another no matter how badly we have been treated. Let no one i think that God really tempts his I children: we may well ask him so I to lead us into situations that we shall not be tempted above what • we are able to bear. Vs. 9.10. “And I say unto you, j Ask and it shall be given unto you; seek and ye shall find; knoclt. and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." Here are given the three steps: a strong desire, an earnest seeking, and perseverance. Vs. 11,12. “Os a son shall ask bread of any of you, wifi he give him a stone? or if he ask a fisn, will he for a fish give him a scorpion?" Answers to prayer are 1 not worthless but precious gifts. V. 13. "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children; how much more ishall your heavenly Father give, the Holy Ghost to them that ask him?" The converting, transforming. strengthening and comforting God in the Holy Ghnst is offered to those who pray aright. Book Review Thinking Christianity, by W. Burnet Easton, Jr., The Macmillan Co., is a discussion of how Christian thinking throws light on the problems of our time, for,. says | the author. "Christianity has the ' only important thing to say to the world.” He takes up such questions as how to make faith prac- | tical in ordinary life, obstacles .in the way of prayer, and the Christian attitude toward the threat of dictatorship. Clericus Says: Clericus says: "A child who did grow neither physically nor nteni tally would be an object of ser'jlous concern. It is likewise a ser'Jous matter when people fail to develop spiritually. In such cases 1 , there is often some definite hind- ■ rance that needs to be overcome. New converts who do not grow 1 usually do not even maintain the * spiritual status which they have reached, hut retrograde instead."

I -WmsAl -a M J Wisdom w| 1 Two Conflicting Appraisals A youngster went into the parlor ■ to see a visitor who was with his Dither. “Well, my little man," said his father’s friend, “what are you looking at me tor?" “Why," replied the boy. "Daddy told me that you were a self-made man, 'and I want to see what you look 1 like." “Quite right," said the grati- ' fled guest, although ugly and fat. '“I am a self-made man." “But what did you make yourself like ' that for?" asked the boy. I pBSMEBBBMI 111 Ciiurch ( Formal . How may religion be taught in the public schools without giving offense to those who object to having weekday religious education taught in them? Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick presents the following answer: In teaching history the part religion has played in shaping the ideas of our developing culture, and in Influencing the course of mankind's story, might well be presented: in teaching literature the great religious classics,’above all the Bible, should be as openly set before the students as their immense intluclety. the churches and eynagoggy the religious institutions of society, the churches and synagagues of the student's own communlity, in particular, need to be in {eluded. Religion is not a subject for a pigeon-hole. It permeates personal and social living, and ' any education that leaves it out is not real education at all. 1
