Clinton Toronto would realize that at tit time Christ is on trial again. Dr. Norwood said that many people are asking the question "Why does God allow this to ;happen?" Then in an imaginary conversation he represent- ed Christ as` saying "I have not changed the world; I have not Bhang - ed money; I have not changed power; "We know that the change in these things has .been contrary to the teaching of Christ. Assurdely the responsibility is ours. We have sup- plemented hate for love, and as Dr. Norwood pointed out in repiy to his text, "How shall this man save us"? 1 Samuel 11:27 there is no other way to bring the world to the feet, of Jesus, where it must come, but Dove the LIEIrcl, then go with all thy soul, with all thy strength and with all thy might and thy neighbors as thyself" at a time like this when hate (and we would like to call it justifiable hate) ...is let loose in the world, hoW are we going to obey this command each division of which is equally important?' The second, part "to love thy neighbor as thyself" is the only way we have of showing to the world that we love the saviour, who died for us. Let us not say "for us" but make it personal and say "for me." t, to o our homes and there holding a prayer meeting that God's cause may be advanced. .God does. not despise small: numbers for, He` has told us t - that Where two or three are gat1 er- ed 'together, there will I be in the midst of them." Where the cause of Christ advances every kind of 'ism must retreat. These little prayers meetings bring a great deal of com- fort to those who are taking part. Try it, small beginnings like that many times have had wonderful. re- sults. Every prayer should have two parts, talking to God and listening to Him. Were we to go to some earthly friend with a problem which was on our mind, we would not think of 'ex- plaining our trouble and then leav- ing,without waiting for some con went. Yet that is exactly what we do with God. We give Him no chance to answer us and we come to the con- clusion that He is not in sympathy with us. Then we go in in our awn Way with very often disastrous re- sults. God is always listening for our signal of communication. We do not need to talk aloud for even our innetmost thoughts are heard. - It is really a terrible thing when we 'compare the scene on Mount Cal- vary so many centuries ago with the world of today. It would be little wonder if we thought with many others. The death and resurrection of Christ were in vain, were they? Emphatically no! Christ and right cannot be dissociated and it is our duty to be not spasmodical'iy but constant- ly in prayer. In the first place ask God to teach us how to pray and when we have learned that, then pray in faith knowing that God will bring only what is right to pass, .His way may not be our way but it will be the right way and it our privilege and our duty to alyn ourselves on His side. We should have a regular time to pray but the life of a Christian should Frank Fingland, BA., LL.B. be a prayer filled life.

The following letter was received by Mrs. W. Cardwell from her son Wes who is Well-known in Clinton as he is an old C.C.I. boy. Wes. is now in Belguim. Dear Mother: Have just finished supper in the front line. The Germans gave us rather a hot time at Daybreak a couple of mornings ago. They sent over bombs ,' and rifle-grenaders gal- ore, accompanied by numerous shells; we were_certainy kept hopping 'around until our artillery opened up after a- bout half an hour's' time and silenced the enemy by pouring in a perfect hail of shells in his trench. Old Fritz has been real nasty this last few days and We have to be constantly on the alert for surprise or gas attacks. Gas however is nothing to be feared if it can be detected in time for everyone to don his respirator. e A little girl once hearing a preach er pray very loudly whispered to her mother, "Mother, don't you think that if he lived nearer to God he wouldn't have to talk so loud?" . Do we ever become so engrossed with the world that when we pray. to God we feel that we have to shout over the tur- moil of the world. How beautiful the quiet hour of prayer can be. Many of God's greatest saints have through illness not been able for years to answer the attitude of pray- er. God does not require that, Nor do we need to stop our work to pray. God will hear us if we just speak a few, words to Him and, how much more sincere our prayer will be if we come to Him with the thought of the Publican uppermost in our mind "God be merciful to me a sinner." Our power comes from Christ and as we pray we must show our will- ingness to do our part to use that power. In other words we must be co-workers with Christ. There is no other way to have any assurance of living with Him throughout the et- ernal ages. With these humble thoughts in mind let us begin to pray to "Our Father Which Art in Heav- en" as we never did before. We will then know something of the joy of a true believer.

A heavy fog hung over the lines all day yesterday and quite a number of us spent some time searching No- Man's Land. We discovered two German listening posts from which we obtained three bombs each. A listening post is a minature trench running straight out from the main trench and is sort of an advanced position used for the sole purpose of giving the alarm in the event of aa enemy night attack. They cannot be used by day, as the listener is almost bound to be discovered and besides it is not really necessary to use them in daylight. The fog lifted qnite a bit all of a sudden just at dusk and exposed a large part of the enemy fixing their wire and we accounted, I think, for the most of them. We have not been given our rest yeti but a very small number have been given leave, I expect we will alt have leave before March. Hoping you are all in the best of Health, I remain. With love, Wes.
