A CALL TO PRAYER
Sir, —"Peace"' that is what the whole world desires and yet up to the present the human efforts have failed. That being so, let us, in all humility, ask the One Who alone can bring this much desired peace to the world. He is God Almighty, the Creator of Heaven and earth. Let us in a child-like manner petition Him in His own words and prayer which He taught His disciples, namely: 'Our Fathei\ Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name: Thy Kingdom come; Thy" will be (lone on earth as it' is in Heaven. Givs us this (lay our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.' This is the prayer He taught whilst He was on earth. He also said: 'Ask and you shall receive.' His promises are always fulfilled and His answer to our prayers is always to send what is best for us and which will bring peace here and eternal happiness hereafter. Let each person in New Zealand say this lovely pray, er morning and night till the end of their days, which will bring blessings from God to this land, and if said for the world equally grest bless ings. The world is wanting in prayer to Him Who can accomplish all things. Let New Zealand be the first nation to set this beautiful prayer in operation. Who knows but she might be the first nation to set the world doing likewise in this lovely petition < and its results would not l:e failure but success. Yours etc. J WALTER DARBY.
