The Bible Study by Mrs. Olive Bolt was from Matt 6: “and when you pray you must not be like the hypocrites, they pray so that they may be seen by people, and do not pile up meaningless phrases.” No nation ever had a higher ideal of prayer than the Jews and no religion ever ranked prayer higher in priorities than the Jews.” He who prays within the house surrounds it with a will stronger than iron. Faults crept into the Jewish habits of prayer which may occur anywhere. Prayer became formalized by repe­ tition of words or phrases demon­ stration and lengthy prayers. Jesus gave two rules for prayer: 1. Offer all true prayer to God not man; 2. Pray to the God of love who is readier to answer than we to pray.

Obvious­ ly we have much work to do before we can claim to have translated the concept of multiculturalism into general practice. Progress has been made with the Crew Indians and the Francophones. There are some United Church French langu­ age charges. Racial harmony in Canada compares well on the whole with other areas. We must confess that racism exists and find its sources. A global theology will be a shared theology with Christian contribution. The new cable T.V. network “Vision T.V.” was a big step. Understanding and learning more of other religions can help dispel racism. We must tell of Jesus. The worship service was conduc­ ted by Mrs. Anderson who used the theme “School Days for Young and Old”. All need education. It gives an advantage to live better in a modern world. Jesus taught a school for grown people. His pupils, his disciples, were varied. Peter was impulsive, James and John were passionate, Andrew was mission minded. When school days and life is over, try to follow Christ’s example with our friends and neighbours. Are we ourselves good pupils? Take a fresh start as school starts.
