TRUTH AND ERROR CHART The ch a rt en titled “The Spirit of T ru th ” recently published by th e Bible In stitu te of Los Angeles, is being g reat ly blessed of God and very widely dis tributed. Over 100,000 have already been p rin ted in th e United States, and it is also now being published separate ly in England, Canada, and Wales. An officer of the Evangelization Society of New South Wales w rites as follows: I have felt impelled, w ithout w aiting for your consent, to republish y o u r folder entitled, “The b p in t of T ru th and the Spirit of E rro r.” I t is ju s t exactly w hat is needed th ro u g h o u t the S tate of New South W ales a t th e p resen t tim e, and to have w aited fo r supply to have come from you would have been to have lo st m ost valuable tim e. I therefore im m ediately p u t the o t5r ,?,e£,ore th e E vangelization Society of New South W ales, and one of th e C omm ittee offered to pay the cost of p rin tin g 5,000 copies w ith a view to supply every m in ister and local preacher th ro u g h o u t the S ta te w ith a copy. W e are overrun here w ith Seventh D ay A dventism , Mor- m om sm , R ussellism , Theosophy, C hristian Sci ence and Spiritualism , as well as M odern T he ology, and we feel confident th a t u nder th e M essm g of God, the circulation of th is folder will be of g reat value in stay in g , in some m easure, the dow n-grade tendency. Christian people should do all in th e ir power to stem th e tide of Christ-deny- ing literatu re . Copies of th is ch art which meets th e teachings of seven of the leading heresies w ith the Word of God, can now be procured th rough The K ing’s Business a t one cent each. PRAYER, THE HARDEST THING There is one th ing w ith which I am tempted to be somewhat impatient. I t is when I hear, in m issionary addresses, th e phrase, “ If you can do nothing else, you can p ray ,” as though p rayer were th e easiest th ing in th e world. It ÎS the h ard est th ing to do for foreign mis sions. It is much easier to read, or to give, or to go, th a n to pray. If a man begins to pray for foreign missions, he will find th a t it takes sp iritu al power and energy, if his prayer is to be real. Let us make prayer among th e most prom inent featu res of our life, as we pray for world-wide evangelization.— W. H. Griffith-Thomas.
