Other guests at the same home on Saturday Many people make it a point to review their will the first of every year and give careful consideration to changed circumstances. Your executor may have moved away, or be- come or may have become so involved in his own business that he could not give sufficient time to the management of your estate. Bene- ficiaries may not now be living. These are onlya few reasons why you should review your Will now. A simple codicil is all that is necessary to secure the services of The Grey & Bruce Trust & Savings Company as your Executor.

Then let us learn from the other praying man whciee prayer being brief and memorable, "0 God have mercy on me for my sins, and God answered his prayer because ere showed both sincerity and humility. What does prayer really mean to you? Has it ever become a conscious necessity, a daily need that cannot be put off? During 1040 there were 3 days of national prayer, each followed by an. event of historic importance for the future of Great Britain, After May 26 came the miraculous deliverance from Dunkirk. After August 11th, came terrific British victories in the air which are looked upon by many authorities as the turning point in the war, Within a week of September 8 came a definite attempt at an invasion of this country whith was success- fully repalsed. Is anything tee hard for the Lord, Eeperleoce confidently answers "No", A praying individual is the tiations best asset in peace of war, and a praying nation ia uncen- utterable. How to pray and how not to pray has been our theme, May God enable you who care for your own Souls and for yoUr nation to turn in penitence and faith to God, Mrs. nolines spoke a few words on the Epiphany or the manifestation of Christ to the 'Gentiles,. and that we .
