FROM THE MANAGING EDITOR

Is prayer really practical ? By now all of you will have gotten my Christmas letter. You will recall that I headed it with the question, “Is prayer really practical?” I’m sure your faith was once again strengthened as you read how God had miraculously answered prayer for so many of our readers during the past year— a church reunited in Iowa; a divorce prevented in Washington; healing for a dear woman in Georgia; salvation for an alcoholic husband in Canada. Yes, we unequivocally believe that God answers prayer today with the same sure power He always has. If we didn’t believe it we would never run the little monthly notice in which we as a staff invite you to send in your prayer requests. And, of course, every request that comes in is prayed for individually and out loud. Because nearly all of us would like our prayer life to be more as God would desire it we are increasing our editorial coverage on the subject of prayer during the coming months. The first in this new series is a dynamic article by Andrew Murray, “Victory Over Prayerless- ness” (see page 12). The other big editorial emphasis that we’ve planned for 1956 is material to present the claims of Jesus Christ to the non-Christian. On page 10 is the first of a new monthly series of first person accounts of how Christianity works. W e believe the story of Terry Rose is the type of story the non-Christian will read— and one the Holy Spirit can use to point seekers to Jesus Christ. Those of you who were subscribers last August recall that issue was entirely planned for the seeker. Again in March we are planning another entire issue along this line. It’ll be entirely different, of course, but the basic idea will be the same. Won ’t you very definitely pray for this March issue? — L. H. THE KING'S BUSINESS Our March issue
