“CATS”
The following essay on “cats”
was turned in by a 10 year-old
pupil:
“Cats and people are funny
lanimals. Cats have four paws
but only one ma. People have
forefathers and only one moth
er”
“When a cat smells a rat, he
gets excited, so do people.
“Cats carry tails and a lot of
people carry tales, also.
“All cats have fur coats-Some
people have fur coats and the
oges who don’t have fur coats
say catty things about the ones
•who do have them.”

Effective Praying
Lesson for February 12, 195#
WHEN most people think of
prayer they think of only one
kind though there are several.
The word "prayer” suggests ask
ing for something; though it
ought to suggest thankfulness,
confession of sin, aspiration, trust.
But leaving all these other kinds
of prayer out of account, what a
wonderful thing pr; ‘ ! If I
could go to a mil- 1
lionaire once a
year and ask him
for anything I
wanted; or if I
could have an in-
terview with the
most famous per-
son in the world
with the privilege
of asking one fa
vor, —how dizzy I Dr. Foreman
would be at the pleasure of the
prospect! Yet God has more treas
ure than a millionaire, and the
fame of -the most renowned men
is nothing compared to his glory.
It is such a God to whom I can
take my desires and requests, ev
ery day, every night of the year.
It Is only because prayer Is so
'free that we take it for granted
and fail to appreciate it. We might
value the opportunity more if we
had to pay well for it.

Outlook for February 1956
HIEDtCTtO \
TEMWHATUBE
FEIHI7ARY If 6 I
The Weather Bureau’s 30-day outlook for
February calls for temperatures to average
below seasonal normals in most of the coun
try west ofv the Mississippi, with greatest
departures in the Great Plains. In the east
ern third of the nation temperatures are
In a way, prayer does have a
price. That is to say, if prayer
is to be effective, certain condi
tions have to be met. Jesus told
some stones which bring out what
these conditions are. One is the
tale of two men who went into
the same temple to pray. One was
an old hand at it, —if there was a
“praying class” of Jews (corre
sponding to a woiking class, or a
professional class) in those days,
he was a prominent member of it.
The other man had perhaps very
seldom prayed The first man was
a regular contributor to his
church: the other man—if he was
like the average m his profession
—seldom daikened the door of a
place of worship. But in Jesus’
story these two men found them
selves side by side in the same
temple, and only one was “just
fled,” that is to say, only one go
favorable attention fiom God And
that one was the man who had
nothing to say but “God, be merci
ful to me a sinner.” To ask God
for this and for that, as if we de
served it, as if it were our right
to demand gifts from God, —this
is no way to pray. Effective pray
er begins, with confession and re
pentance, not with demands.
Not to the Proud
Let us make a short list of some
differences between wiong prayer
and ijight prayer. Wrong prayer
is really talking to oneself, or talk
ing so as to be overheard by some
one we want to impress. Right
prayer Is addressed to God alone.
Wrong prayer is proud; right
grayer is humble. Wrong prayer
wants God to support the pude of
the prayer. Right prayer casts
pride away and comes to God
without a claim. In wrong pray
er, I come to God asking him to
do something for me which will
give me a better reason than I
now have for being proud of my
self. In right prayer, X come to
God asking him to cleanse me of
the pride which makes me feel
that God himself is hardly neces
sary. In wrong prayer, the one
who prays rises from his knees
just as he was, for he has no wish
to be changed; in right prayer,
the one who prays rises a better
man, for he asked God to forgive
and change v him.’
Keeping at It
Jesus seldom if ever tried to put
all the truth into one parable He
was generally content with setting
out one truth at a time. So the
parable of the bothersome widow,
the woman who finally wore out a
stubborn and selfish judge just
by keeping after him, —that par
able does not say everything about
prayer. But It does teach one
thing; Keep at it' Jesus is care
ful not to say that God is anything
like that judge. What he does
mean is that if even a bad char
acter like that judge can be moved
to do the light thing by a persis
tent woman, surely God our Fa
ther, in heaven, who is neither lazy
nor stubborn nor ill-willed, will
listen to persistent prayer. We
must be careful not to read into
this parable mere than Jesus said.
There is no promise here that God
counts the number of times we
pray for a thing, and that if we
only pray enough times he will be
sure to answer. There is no guar
antee that God will answer any
prayer we can think of if we say
it often enough. What Jesus prom
ises is that God will bring justice
at last ... if we keep on want
ing it.
