REAL PRAYER IS NOT ASKING BUT KNOWING GOD Rev. Rilling Preaches First Sermon of Summer Series. r- ~ i URPOSE of prayer was exI T3 I plained by the Rev. J. H. RilI I ling, pastor of the Second Evangelical Church, Sunday, in the first sermon of a series on “Prayer.” “The purpose of prayer is thanksgiving, confession and adoration," the Rev. Rilling said. "True prayer is not telling God what we want, but is to find out what His will and plan concerning us. “It Is not what we want but what we need. Real prayer creates an atmosphere so we can say, ‘Thy will be done.' It goes beyond petition, it works in us the right attitude toward God and His good will concerning us. "We talk of God but we must give Him a chance to talk to us. Take time ..iid prepare for prayer. The Teacher “At the request of His disciples, Christ taught them the Lords Prayer. He who prayed most was in a position to teach others, not the one who really never prayed. “The master of the sea was not a good sleeper. He arose before dawn of day. Yes, whole nights were spent in prayer. Alone he fought his battles and won his victories. Proceeding and following his great miracles, he spent much time in prayer. “He lived a life of prayer. Certainly such x person is In a position to teach us how to pray. Should we not be prayerful and consider that we are standing on holy ground as we study this woiiderful prayer which will always stand as a model for all time for all nations? We dare not add to It nor subtract from it. It is a complete model. “Friendly Feeling” “ ‘Our' Father,’ what a friendly feeling these words create. How they open the great father’s heart. Our,’ how broad and far reaching. All included, none excluded. ‘Fatherhood’ of all. Jesus taught and lived that friendly happy relationship. “ 'Our Father’ by creation; ‘We are his children. Let us think in world wide terms. Then, too, le* us not forget to pray in keeping ..ith this wide vision. “ 'Our Father’ by regeneration and adoption. What a glorious heritage for the children of God w*ho have been brought into this experience by anew creation. "Which art in Heaven.’ a place which Christ said, ‘ Iwill go and prepare a place for you.’ Let all take courage there are better things ahead. “In Christ Heaven, with all that it means, is assured to the childuen of God. Do not miss it by neglect.” the Rev. Mr. Rilling urged.

PRESBYTERIANS BURY HATCHET Predicted War on Modernist Theory Fizzles. Hu I'nilni Prcas COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 25.—The widely heralded fireworks over doctrinal disputes in the national assembly of the Presbyterian church began fizzling out today. It now anpears likely that the worst the assembly wil ldo is to reprimand the more militant members of the modernist and fundamentalist factions for trodding on each other’s toes, and then adjourn for another ye?" without decisive action in any of the controversies. The committee on bills and overtures was expected to recommend during tHe day that all matters in its hands, especially those dealing directly on the Modernist —fundamentalist difficulties and the New Y'ork Presbytery be dropped. The assembly today ended the Fosdiek case, one of the most troublesome in modern Protestant history, by adopting the report of the bills and overtures committee recommending that the case be dropped.

NEW WITNESS IN SHAW CASE (Continued From Page 1) ing. Several miles west of Indianapolis they met an old Ford touring car, with only the left light burning. The two cars passed slowly. The driver of the car they met was holding a handkerchief to his face. In the rear seat was Shaw, with a woman crouching against him, her head and shoulders on his lap. Whether the driver and the woman were colored, Belfrod said he couiJ not see. Identifies Defendant "Did you see that colored mar again—the one who was in the back seat?’ - asked Prosecutor William H. Remy of Marlon County. "I did,” was the answer. "Where?” “In the courtroom at Indianapolis,” said Belford. who did not testify at Shuw’s first trial in Marion County Criminal Court, where was sentenced to death. “Do you see him here?” "Right there he* sits," Belford answered, pointing at Shaw, who glared at the witness and then hurriedly turned to whisper to his attorney. “That man wes John Thomas Shaw?" asked Remy. "He was John Thomas Shaw.” “The car we met was a right-hand drive car,” said Belford. who became a little confused under rapidfire cross-examination by Silas C. Kivett, Martinsville attorney defending Shaw. Cross-Examination Kivett also got Belford to say he never had seen Shaw before and recognized him by his picture in newspapers. During a recess, Kivett heliLled Bedford’s testimony. He said the Jury would not think much of it. "I am sure we will get an acquittal," said Kivett. "This Belford v.as telling things as he imagined they happened. Whoever heard of a right-hand drive Ford? Anyway, Shaw’s Ford is a left-hand drive.” “The State has also switched theories. Nov/ they have two men doing the murder. There is too much reasonable doubt in this trial to convict Shaw.” Andrew Parker, colored. State witness. who Friday afternoon gave testimony regarded by the defense as corraborative of Shaw's story that he obtained the murdered girl’s whtch from Hunky John, was Tint witness on the stand today. He was cross-examined further by the defense. Detective On Stand Herman Rademacher, Indianapolis detective, testified about different stories Shaw told after his arrest. The State- expected to close its testimony today. The defense will not take much more than a day. it is said. A much cooler courtroom made the trial easier on the Jury and spectators, of whom there was a large crowd.
