PRESIDENT’S LETTER.

Dear Fricmls, — Here is a prayer which we may well u-c a< we face the battle against the bottle: “Our Father, draw from 11s base content and set our eyes on far ofT goals. Keep us at tasks too hard for us, that we inay be driven to Thee for strength. Deliver us from fretfulness and selflity; make 11s sure of the goal we cannot sec, anil of the hidden good in the world. Save us from ourselves, arid show us a vision of a world made new. May Thy Spirit of peace and illumination so enlighten our minds that all likshall glow with new meaning and new purpose, through Jesus Christ our Lord Amen.” As wc pray, our minds will he enlightened to see how this prayer may be answered. I believe that one was to have an answer is to use every o»,n d(v>r for service. Church guilds, and other organisations of women, are often glad to receive a speaker Arrange for speakers, and thus you arouse interest in this very definite Christian work. Votes will be won, ■‘tid the numbers at the poll will mount up in the right direction. Opportunity is now. Another way to help answer that prayer is to give out literature. Several new leaflets should be in the bands of Mrs. Ro*s now. and we want these leaflets to reach every home in New Aaland. “Keep us at tasks too hard for us that we may be driven to Thee ><»r strength.” 1 can do all things through Him who strengthens mo. That is the secret. His strength not ours po you remember how the 'pics who were fearful said, “We are T J°t able to go up against the people for they arc stronger than we”? Rut ( aleb said, “Let tis go tip at once and Possess it, for we arc well able to overcome it." Caleb knew where to obtain

strength to overcome. God grant that we shall say, “In the strength of the Lord we are able.” Yours for victory, JESSIE HIETT.
