It Is a'great tWng these days to


hav^ sUch widespread rfecognltlon of the place which prayer should occijpy, as a contributing influence In world affairs, the Rev. G. % Jones, Vicar of Waddlngton, wrltbs In his Parish Magazine. We mriy do well to call to mind once again the thought so well 'expressed by the poet Ijennyson, “ There are mor^ things wrought by ptayer thap this world dreams of.” But a greater than Tennyson used mUqh stroriger language on the subject, and made much larger claims dn Its behMf- Thbse]' claims ] we ha-fe scarcely begim.to recognise, “ Tihese ttorigs I havd spoken unto you that whdtsoever ye shall ask the Father In My Name, He will give It yod.” Thlrik of it j jit Is an immensely powerful weapon against all forms of ] evil. Because prayer is bo tremeridous ja force, small-minded mah finds difficulty in believing in its ' possibilities. The “ House of Prayer ” is so sadly neglected. . ] '. Weldotot want the opportunity and the; occasion !to be, "pasted bn September 8th,' when* In all parts of the world faithful Chrlstiaris will be praying. Let .us] join thrim in j;he right isplrit. ' First of all, we simply must have j a ;feellng, of peiiltence, l.e., a realisation of our slicrtcomings, our want of faith, our lack of love, towards God Hlrii- sdlf. Without this; our own pride and self-ecjnceit will ] spoil dur prayers. Secondly, we must believe to the prayers we are offering, arid that God will ariswer them. Thirdly, we]must resdlve to continue offering our prayer. I Perseverance Is essdn- tlaj to effective prayer. An isolated


effort Is e-yldence of dur lack of faith. One last thing :]* Before we dare approach the Father with (jur- heartfelt prayers, we must surqly rec^elve the Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ which He offers In the Holy Sacrament.' Let us do] all we .(ian 4 to render our prayers “ acceptable ” , to j God.., i
