Hu­ man development was essential. There should be equal opportunities for all. In rural areas this could be best adanced by consolidated schools. There should be a balanc­ ed education, physical, mental and moral. In his final remarks, he said "If we want world peace we must teach children to respect and honor one another.” Mr. E. C. Beacom introduced Prof. S. M. Cornish of the Ontario College of Education, who gave the teachers a very instructive address on the teaching -of geography. Throughout his discourse there was much hum­ or, but at the same time he pointed out some ways of defective teaching in geography and other subjects. He thought there was too much logic in these lessons and not enough in­ terest to arouse children to think and get new ideas. He believed in ■teaching by topics and iby so doing could bring in the less interesting, tout these must be carefully /arrang­ ed. Mr. Mervin .Stephens gave a dem­ onstration lesson on ‘Picture Study’ which was well done and interesting to all. He had a class of eight girls from the second book who answered his questions well. At tihte time Miss Margaret Pentland rendered two sol-os in fine style. A detailed outline of the summer course on "'New Methods in Health* Teaching” was given by Miss M. E. Ellis. Suggestions were given on diet, cleanliness, how to handle cer­ tain kinds of children, and finally the best ways to create good health habits. Posters were exhibited to show /how children reproduced the thr.ought of the lessons by drawing. In health work the idea was to create a spirit in the child that would make him happy and inerested in being healthy. thanks to Prof G. M. Cornish inspiring addresses. N.

It includes also petition ajid interceis- sion; that is asking God to meet our own needs, and the needs of others. Those who know the Bible best can pray best, for the Bible is the great Guide Book in prayer. There is a great deal of ‘praying’ which is not prayer at all. The Lord warned against this sort of counterfeit praying. "When thou prayest,” he said, "thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray /standing in the synago­ gues and in the corners of the sheets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you. They have their reward." (That is, as a commentator points out, they have the reward they were after—the ad­ miration of certain men. Their pray­ ers reach the eyes and ears of men, but they cannot reach God. In true from hast Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” True prayer is not for an audience of hearers (tho’ there can be, of course, true prayer offered in public), hut is a matter between the one -who can answer true prayer. God Himself, Nor are those who pray "heard for their much speaking,” as the heathen seem to think when they use "vain repetitions,” repeating and droning and prolonging their prayers. Such prayers is never necessary with God, “for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of ask Him.” But, although God things, and knows all needs without our telling Him, wants us to tell Him; for God ordained the law of prayer. The Lord then went on to His disciples something of 1 true prayer is, and gave them what is commonly called Prayer.” Yet there is much to be learned about /prayer that was not given in this brief instruction in prayer from the Lord at that time. We must always compare Scripture with Scripture, God’s whole ject. We know, man cometh by Me” (John 14:6), and that "if ye shall ask anything in My name, I will d.o it” (John 14:14). True prayer, therefore, must be in the name of Christ, and can be offered only by those who have received Christ as (Savior, recognizing that there is .but "one Mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus” (I Tim. 2:5.) True prayer, also, must be offer­ ed in faith, for the Lord, said: "What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye re­ ceive them” (Mark 11:24). But that :-.whatsoever” is limited; it does not mean that ,we can ask God for anything we may want and be sure .of getting it. For here is an­ other condition of answered prayer, "that if we ask anything according to His Will, He heareth us” (I John 5:14). The Lord’s Prayer includes: Worship. God’s interests. Blessing for the whole world. Our bodily need. Forgiveness of our sins. ■Our forgiveness of others. Our 'protection from tempta­ tion and evil. The prayer 'begins with the wor­ ship of God as the Heavenly “ ascribing holiness to Him; lowed he Thy name,” "Thy kingdom come” is a for the fulfilment of the longing of God’s heart and the establishing of His true interests. The prayer asks that this be done for the whole .world—"in earth, as it is in Heaven.” Have we any right to ask God for such trivial things as food, cloth­ ing, money and the like? "Give us our daily bread,” answers that ques­ tion. The Lord assures His dis­ ciples that God is concerned about just such needs, as well as their spiritual and eternal heeds.. Later in this Sermon on the Mount He says of meat and drink and cloth­ ing, that "all these things shall be added unto you,” if "the Kingdom of God and His righteousness” are put first in our lives and interests. We all need God’s forgiveness, for "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Let us never say, therefore, of any one who has wronged or injured us, "I will never forgive." A forgiven sinner is in no position to withhold forgive­ ness from another. God has for­ given us our debts, if ,we have ac­ cepted His forgiveness by receiv­ ing Christ as our Saviour; there­ fore we are to forgive all others anything we may have against them Protection against the countless temptations thAt beset us in this life, and deUvferimce from the evil before knows about ye all our He has > tell what "The Lord’s if we .would know teaching on any sub- for example, that "no unto the Father, but The United Church parsonage Mitchell, was the scene of a quie but pretty wedding when Rev.

You are a retailer* You want to get on. You want to swell each day’s sales. Well, you will sell more each day if you ask! ask! ask! buyers to buy your goods. You can hardly go around canvassing homes and buyers face to face. This practice would be too costly, though undoubtedly would be effective. But you can use newspap­ er advertising; in this way you can do your asking for business. You are not required by the buying public to do smart advertising. The public doesn’t like smart or clever advertising. The public just wants to be . informed, about what you have to sell; and if you will add reasons why the public should buy what you offer, then you' will get more customers.
