meetings linked together by witnessing. Prayer is not a device for getting our will done through Heaven, but a desire that God's will be done on earth through us. Our ability to stay with God in the prayer closet is the measure of our ability to stay with God while we are outside of it. We pray because others need prayer. It is not hard to pray, because prayer has meaning. If prayer ever does get hard for you, begin to give thanks and you will have an ocean of praise and thanksgiving from which to draw. Let prayer be the key to your morning and the bolt to your evening. "Give us .. . our daily bread." Bread to sustain the physical health is a daily need. Other necessities may be supplied once and for all, but food to sustain the body must be supplied every day. "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." One of the greatest hindrances to prayer is an unfor- giving spirit. Nursing grudges against others closes the ear of God to our petitions. You may object that there is no excuse for their sin. Remember sin can never be excused. It can only be forgiven. The spirit of forgiveness is noble and kingly. The story has been told that when Belgium was being in- vaded by hostile armies during the world war, laying portions of it in ruins, a group of children gathered before a roadside shrine that had es- caped the terrible bombardment and were repeating the Lord's Prayer. They had just reached the plea for pardon when a shell struck nearby, reminding them of their bitter ene- mies. They hesitated to finish the sentence. The eldest girl tried to get her companions to finish the petition. ROBERT TliOM, /RI IST "As we forgive those"—she stopped. When the soul feels the need, hands may be uplifted to God in praise or humble petition.

By J. L. SHULER

Paul and others urged that regard- less of whether a man was a Jew or a Gentile, justification comes as a free gift from God by faith in Christ. No man can earn it. No man is deserving of it. It is not a man's due because he has done something to merit it. The idea that a man could do something to earn justification makes Christ's death on the cross superflu- ous.

Physical Fitness Camps Held at WWC for Local Children Walla Walla College conducted a second summer sports fitness camp for community children from eight to 13 years of age.

We have been running these columns at a leisurely pace, usually making note of books as fast as they come off the presses of our three largest publishing houses. In recent weeks, however, with the installation of new machinery in all our printing plants, the books have been coming out at a faster rate. Escalation in production is on, especially in lower-cost books, and some of the more popular titles in hard covers are now available in beautifully bound paperbacks. It seems expedient to try to catch up with the listing of some of these titles and forgo our usual musings about why we should read at all. Perhaps you remember that book of true stories by Enid Sparks entitled Dama's Date With Trouble, in which the very first story tells of an adventure with a bear. There are thirty-five other stories just as thrilling, such as that of Sue Chow, AU Enters Float in Fourth of July Parade the Korean girl whom angels kept from throwing herself off a cliff.
