Italo-German demands for a drastic

the Soviet Union which advocates a

’ Truly the knowledge of Christ brings

Mrs. Whitfield read a splendid ar
ticle on the value of the devotional
■period. Its main aim is to make its
members real "pray-ers” bilked with
the Omnipotent. This is the real
■power point of missionary work. Let
■us place our problems in God’s hands
through prayer, John R. Mott* once
■suggested that the church cease its
endless round of activities and try
prayer. God demands saciificc, not
that He needs it, but for the moral
reaction on our own lives. Get the
listening attitude, Learn to express
Jesus. ;
Mrs. Ashton took charge of the
business period, when eleven mem

Mrs. Cook, Christian Stewardship
Secretary, brought some pertinent
