NOBODY who is even faintly religious would deny tliat prayer is a part of religious life. People who have had little to do with a church, who seldom pick up a Bible, who having given scant attention to God, will, faced with a crisis, turn to prayer. Many a helpless individual, faced with the stark reality of death, has gone down on his knees in prayer. What then is prayer all about? We welcome you on Sunday evening to hear an address on what the Bible teaches on this subject Consider Luke Chapter 18 V.l and 1 Thess. Chapter 5 V. 17. Lodge Hall, 9 Shirley Road.
