JEWISH CHRISTIANS PROVE THE POWER OF PRAYER Infinitely grateful for
that he may have a great crop of grain with which to make bread for the home and feed for the cattle. The gardener plants his seed so that he may have vegetables for the table and may have some to sell for other purposes. In each case the planting is for the purpose of producing.a crop which will be valuable to the owner. So it is with the believers. We trust in the Saviour. By faith we die on the cross and are buried, and are raised again with Christ to walk in a new life. This new life is for the purpose of bringing glory to God, our owner. April 16, 1950 I WILL PRAY John 5:19, 20, 30; Mark 1:35-38; James 5:16 The attitude of men in general is that of absolute independence of God and opposition to His authority. It does not seem to occur to the normal person that he is unable to manage his own life, and is quite helpless in regard to saving himself. The unbeliever needs a God who can save. The Christian needs a God who can direct and guide the life. Prayer is a confession of weakness and indicates a desire for help from One who is able. Prayer brings us in touch with God. Prayer invites God’s inter vention in the affairs of our lives and our souls. The heart that has been convicted by the Holy Spirit of its guilt, finds relief in going before the Judge and pleading guilty and seeking mercy. In his prayer, he will tell the Judge of .his utter need and his hopelessness. He will also tell the Judge that he is happy to accept forgiveness and to receive pardon. Prayer on the part of the believer indi cates a willingness to be guided by another, a confidence in the wisdom, justice, and judgment of God. Prayer is a confession of our inability, and an acknowledgment of our faith in God who can do that which needs to be done. Let us cultivate an attitude of prayer. Prayer Is the Doorway To Service Acts 9:6 After the heart has been touched by the God of Heaven, then the desire fills the soul to be of some use to that won derful Lord. In almost the same breath in which the soul inquired about God he expressed a desire to serve God. The two are closely associated. Paul’s prayer was quickly answered, and he found that the new service he requested in his prayer led to much pain, suffer ing, and loss as well as conquests and victories. We do not know what we can do best for our Lord nor where we should serve. Prayer to the Lord of the harvest solves the problem.

were very thankful for all the good gifts, es pecially those wonderful shoes. Last week I brought seven new children to the home. The fresh country air, good food, and the loving Christian spirit of the home, make it like a paradise for these poor Hebrew Christian children, so many of whose parents and rela tives were cruelly murdered in the concentra tion camps.” If space allowed, we could also tell a fascinating story about our work in Palestine (Israel) where the Jews are settling at the rate of 1,000 per day. The needs of our work in the Holy Land, as well as in Europe, are very great, and we beseech you dear readers to help us feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the unhoused, and forward the Gospel amongst God’s ancient people. Remember the words of our Lord, “ Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” $ 5.00 will pay for a nutritious food parcel. $10.00 will pay for a big CARE food parcel. $10.00 will support an orphan child for a month.
