11:1-13.

—PquIttib
STORY MATERIAL—Matthew 14:23-25;
Acts 12:1-12.
INTERMEDIATE, SENIOR AND
ADULT TOPIC—Why and how to pray
and the results.
Prayer ought to be a matter of great
concern to every believer (Psalms 145:
18).
Prayer is a matter but little under
stood by Christians; In fact, only as
divine aid is given can we really pray.
The range of prayer is from the
i depths of the soul to the very
| thoughts of God. There was some
j thing about the praying of Jesus that
so Impressed the disciples that they
requested him to teach them to pray
(Luke 11:1). We nowhere read of
them asking him to teach them how
to preach. Praying is more important
than preaching. No one is fit to teach
or preach who does not know how to
pray. May each one enroll at once
in the school of prayer with Christ as
our teacher. He is a most willing and
capable teacher. In response to the
disciples’ request he outlines the fol
lowing principles of prayer:
I. The Right Relationship of the One
Praying (Luke 11:2).
1. Filial—“Father.”
In order to pray to God, the sup
pliant must be a child of God. God
is a father; his gifts and blessings are
for his children. This relationship
can only be entered into through re
I generation. i\ot ail men nave a ngnt
i to say, “Our Father” when address
i ing God. Only those who are children
| of God by faith in Jesus Christ can
so address him. It is not only profess
l ing to be children but living like God’s
i children. Children have rights and
privileges which are denied to others.
2. Fraternal—“Our Father.”
God has more than one child. His
children are bound up together in na
ture and interests. Even In our se
cret prayer we should address him as
Our Father, which is a recognition of
the interests of others, alongside of
ours.
II. The Right Attitude in Prayer
; (Luke 11:2).
[ 1. Reverent adoration,
j As children we have certain priv
ileges, and yet holy reverence becomes
us. We should hallow his name; we
j should adore him as the eternal God.
2. Loyalty.
When praying to God we should
1 come frith the spirit of loyalty which
cries out “Thy kingdom come.”
3. Submission—“Thy will be done.”
We should have no will of our own
regarding the rule of God. We should
let him direct us in all things.
III. The Right Spirit (Luke 11:3-8)
1. Dependent Faith—“Give us our
daily bread” (v. 3).
We should realize that not only
what we have, but life itself is ours
to enjoy because of him, and that he
is able to do for us exceedingly abun
dantly above all that we ask or think.
2. Penitence an 1 Love—“Forgive us
our debts” (v. 0).
We should come to him realizing
that \ve have sinned, and cry unto him
for forgiveness. Our hearts should
be so filled with love for others that
we will forgive those who sinned
against us as God is willing to for
give us.'
3. Holiness and Caution—“Lead us
not into temptation” (v. 4).
Because we ure God’s children and
realizing the depravity of our natures,
arid the consequent tendency to prac
; tice that which displeases him, we
1 should shrink from that which, if in
dulged in, would dishonor him.
4. Intercessory (vv. 5, 6).
The man who asked for bread did
not ask for himself, but for a friqpd.
I Prayer which pleases God is unselfish
in its requests.
5. Perseverance (w. 7, 8).
Prayer which pleases God and gets
results is importunate, perseveres un
till the object is achieved.
IV. Encouragement to Pray (Luke
11:9-12).
1. God’s promise fw. 9, 10).
True prayer cannot fail of an an
swer, because God definitely promises
that every one that asketh receiveth,
he that seeketh findeth, and to him
that knocketh it shall be opened,
i 2. The example of an earthly fa
i ther (vv. 11-13).
j No father will give a stone to his
I son who asketh for bread, or a serpent
j instead of a fish, nor a scorpion in
; stead of an egg. God Is Infinitely
more willing to answer the prayers
of his children than earthly parents
are to give good gifts to their chil
dren.
V. The True Goal of All Prayer
(Luke 11:13).
I God’s gift is himself in the person
, of his Holy Spirit. All those who
practice the principles which Jesus
taught in this model prayer shall be
blessed with the gift of the Holy Spir
it, God’s best gift to man.

CONTENTION ADJOURNS.
Special to Independent
Little Rock, July 20.—The Consti
tutional Convention adjourned yes
terday afternoon until 2 p. rn. Mon
day. This concludes the third week
of the convention, and it is .believed
that the work cannot possibly be
finished under three weeks more.
There still remains less than $8,000
of the $25,000 appropriation unex
pended, and the convention is cost
I ing an average of $550 a day. It
follows that there is not enough to
I run longer than two weeks more.
What will be done then is yet to be
decided.
The Taxation question is still un
i settled in the constitutional conven
tion. After the general provisions
had been agreed upon, Judge Jeptha
H. Evans moved to reconsider the
vote by which it had been adopted,
and refer the whole subject to a bo
cial committee of seven to report
Monday, July 30. The committee
consists of Messrs. Evans, Hays,
Reynolds, Head, Lamb, Driver, Wal
ker, Mann and Pettigrew.
The convention is endeavoring to
get into tho constitution some ade
quate penalty that will force the as
sessment of all property. The pen
alties range from 25 per cent to ab
solute forfeiture to the state. One
of the provisions is the following, by
Delegate E. P. Alldredge of Pulaski
county:
“If any person, firm, or corpora
tion shall wilfully fail or neglect to
assess, at its value, any taxable
! property within the state, then the
property so omitted or partially as
sessed shall be assessed by the prop
er office** of the state at its valua
tion and a penalty of fifty per cent
shall be added to said market value
'assessment for every such failure or
neglect.”
‘The constitutional convention has
agreed not to divide the office of
Commissioner of Mines, Manufac
tures and Agriculture, into two of
fices, as had been originally propos
ed, but to retain it as it is, except
that it is to be made a constitutional
office.
A proposal by Major Clifton R.
Breckinridge of Sebastian to estab
lish a system of rural credits, based
upon farm lands, was rejected by
the constitutional convention.
