Our Heavenly Father, we turn to Thee at the close of the day and bring all our thoughts into subjection to Thee in prayer. Thou dost know our hearts better than we know ourselves. We sought Thee earnestly at the beginning of the day, and now we invite Thee sincerely to review this day’s activities in the light of Thy countenance. Probe us so that we shall harbor no thought or attitude that is unlike Thee. Save us from excuse-making and help us to take the blame that belongs to us. Evil men have surrounded us today with words and deeds that are venomous. Save us from their snares and deliver us from their evil spirit. The day itself has left us weak and a bit fearful. Some of

the changes have been swift and the circumstances complex. But Thou art not at Thy wit’s end, even as we. We commit our way unto Thee and trust Thee for needed guidance. Give us the rest of faith and the serenity of trust. Remove from us all inner tension. Thou didst lead Thy people Israel by the pillar of fire by night; so be our Defense when we cannot understand Thy direction. Only lead us; this is all we ask. We also thank Thee for the victories of this day. Some have been unexpectedly speedy. We hardly dared hope for deliverance so soon. Now we thank Thee from our hearts and promise never again to ques­ tion Thy skill and resourcefulness. We bring all our loved ones to Thee in the shelter of prayer. Thy touch is quicker than our thoughts. Some of these we love are far away in geographic distance tonight, but they are near to Thee. Some are far removed in moral distance, but we plead the merits of Thy Son, who died to save them from their sins. Follow them tonight with con­ victing, converting grace. Open their blind eyes and turn them from the gods of this world. In a little while we too must make the crossing to the world be­ yond. Help us to live each day as in Thy sight and give us faith so that no task or duty to which Thou dost call us will seem impossible. Only own as Thy children and guide us with Thine eye and we shall be glad both in time and in eternity. In Jesus’ worthy name. Amen.

Joplin District Assembly Anacortes, Washington and Conventions September 1 to 5 marked the time o£ the first Joplin District assembly and conventions, at Carthage, Missouri. We were well entertained by Pastor Paul M Sodowsky and his people. The district assembly, with Dr. D. I. V'anderpool presiding, was a time of rich blessing. Under Dr. Vanderpool’s wise guidance the business sessions ran smoothly, and his anointed messages and tender spirit blessed and edified the people, also challenged and stirred us all to do more in the last part of the Anniversary year. A wonderful spirit of love and unity prevailed throughout the assembly. The high light of the assembly was the good report of District Superintend­ ent Dean Baldwin, his re-election for one year with only one negative vote, then for three years with only four negative votes. A generous love offering was given him. Brother Baldwin re­ ported increases in all departments this first year, 2 churches were revived, and 2 new churches organized, with over 200 members received by profession of faith. Ilere is the picture of our new church, rcne in Anacortes.
