A PRAYER
By NANCY HOOD REED
’Tis easy to pray when the storm is upon us
When the wind and the waves run high.
When we ieel so weak and so helpless,
When serious dangers are nigh.
Lord teach me to pray when the storm cloud is spent
And the sun is shining clear,
When the calm is here and the danger past
And my soul is tree from fear.
Tis easy to pray when upon our beds
Our bodies are ill with pain,
When the spark of life is burning low
And our strength is beginning to wane;
Lord teach me to pray when Ted well and strong,
And am able to do my best ;
When the vigor of health is mine for a time,
And my efforts are done with a zest.

’Tis easy to pray when the night comes oc
And the shadows are gathering fast,
When the lonely hours hang heavy,
And the mid-night watch is past;. •
Lord teach me to pray in the noontide of day,
When all is brightness and light,
When clearly I see to lay hold upon Thee
And nothing impedes my sight.

W. R. Wilson, Opt., C
Baprist Church Noten.
Interest is steadily merea.pr.g. in
the revival services held daily at the
First Baptist church. We * wonder
how anyone can come away without
being uplifted by the eloquent appeal
of Dr. Minor. Bis discourses are
splendid. He states the truth in a
clear, concise way. Wednesday even
ing he was at his best. His text was
taker from the twenty-fifth chapter
of Matthew. He pointed out that the
sinner is an “intruder” in hell, for he
said the Bible declares that bell is
made for the Devil and his angels.
The song services add greatly to
the interest of the meetings—especial
ly, the Junior chorus. MV. Parks’
rendition of the soles goes right to
the heart of bis hearers. Be sings
like he “knows” that bis redeemer
livetb.
Friday p. m. at 3:30 D. Minor will
be a sermonette to the children. His
theme will be “Watch”. Sunday a.
JJ. his subject will be “The Return
of the .Lord”. Will you not ecme
adn drinnk from the fountain that
has so filled the spirit of this man of
of God ?
