Let me tell you what I mean. I imagine that very often there is'a very sad contrast be- tween the way in which wo talk to ,God about life in our prayers and the way in which we Ileal with life in our words and deeds day by day. •Tu our prayers we say that our in- tense desire is that in us and through us, God's will shell be clone, whether we like it or not, whether we under- stand it or not.

Township 32years ago.` words today. Prayer surely can be nothineeise. Pious phrases may Sound well, but they don't make prayer.. And God knows well whether what we say to Him .with onr lips we:believe iu Thereour hearts and try to perform in our endanee at. the lives. Here, perhaps, is the greatest Women's World D. of our difficulties about prayer. We have to straggle long and desperately with ourselves before we are eontexit to abandon our own way, which al- awys seems more attractive, and to be content in all humility, and sincerity that in us God's will Shall be done. Don't be disheartened then, if that is your own experience of prayer—• a hard and bitter struggle. Prayer is rather like a battlefield, and it is there upon our knees that we feel these contending forces come to grips, The issue of the battle is not to be seen in a day. It takes time. But if . we find that gradually, little by little, we are overcoming ourselves and giv- ing the allegiance of our Bret to the Iove and providence of God, then our prayors have been good prayers, sincere prayers, and everyone of them has been answered above all that we could ask or think. 'Lo, I come to do Thy will, 0 God.' I am eentent to do it. Thy law is within my heart. That surely represents prayer at its noblest and at its beat. That represents a life, faired no doubt as Christ was faced with hardebipe and temptations 'of ev- ery sort, but nonetheless content with a hard, steep road that winds up the hill all the way, with a eross perhaps at the end of it, if only in us and through us, the most glorious will of God be done. Quito often it lies with us, by God's help, to answer our own prayers. It is all very well to say that we are leav- ling everything to God, to do for us whatever needs to be done. But surely there is something for as to do, and the probability is that God will nee of us, very much inclined to go our lfor as Hie instruments and His agents own way, to try at almost an cost to just those needs that we .

ALLOCATION OF HYDRO POWER SOUTHERN ONTARIO SYSTEM it has become necessary, due to a reduction in the amount of purchased power available, to issue the following notice to municipalities and direct customers of the Commission in the Southern Ontario System. "Effective February 18, 1948, and continuing until further notice, the daily consumption of kilowatthours-shall be restricted to a maximum of 90% of the average daily consumption of kilowatthours in the month of October, 1947, This reduction shall not apply to customers whose power supply was interrupted by the Commission in October, 1947 to the extent of 10% or more of normal delivery." ' This is a temporary emergency arising from sub -normal rain fall last Autumn which has forced two of the Quebec power companies to drastically reduce their deliveries of power to The Commission. This restriction will be lifted just as soon as circumstances per- mit and in the meantime, all consumers must play their full part by saving electricity at all times. If the specified reduction in consumption of electricity is not obtained, it will be necessary to cut off the supply of electricity entirely for definite intervals of time each day, wherever the specified consumption is being exceeded.
