I am convinced that the greatest
weakness of the modern Church
is to be found in the palterness
of Jts prayer life. We are well
equipped in many directions. We
have the best trained ministry the
Church has ever known. We have
the best physical equipment for
the carrying on of our work of any
generation so far. But somehow
the work lags, and our efforts are
often disappointing James said,
‘You have not, because you do
not pray " A prayerless church
is A powerless church
We are glad to be reminded
that when these disciples came
,vith this wise request. Jesus did
not rebuke them He did not turn
♦hem away He taught them to
nray by praying the “IXJRD'S
PRAYER '' NOW. this prayer gives
us a deep insight into the mind
and heart of our Master. Here we
find? His conception of God. Here
we find those values that He
thought most worth living* for and
most dying for. Here we find His
dearest hopes and dreams Here
w»» see the faith that steadied
Him and enabled Him to go all the
way , "Jesus lived this prayer"
And He is eager to share its treas-
ures with you and me
It is being prayed by uhknown
multitudes ' that walk our earth
today Let us join our voices with
theirs.

Pastor's Comer
-THE LORD'S PRAYER"
Thia is one of our Lord’s choic-
est lessons in the high art of
prayer. It was not, however, His
first lesson. He taught His disci-
ples their first lesson in prayer
by His own practice of prayer.
That which first awakened in their
hearts a desire to pray was not
what He said about prayer, but
what He did about it. That is al-
ways the most effective and con-
vincing method of teaching Lec-
tures on prayer are of small value
if we ourselves do not pray Jesus
had many sharp things to say
about the Pharisees, but nothing
sharper than when He told the
multitude to obey their precepts,
but not to imitate their conduct.
It was through His own prayer
life that Jesus brought His dis-
ciples to the realization of their
failure in prayer. As they watched
Him pray, it came home to them
how pitifully inadequate their own
praying had been. But the example
of Jesus did far more than con-
vince them of their past failures,
they saw their amazing possibili-
ties So they came to Jesus wist-
fully and hopefully with this wise
request. “Ixird. teach us to pray.
Though we missed the way yes-
terday we are sure we can find it
under thy guidance today and to-

NATIONAL GUARD CONCERN
ED—Texas National Guard Asso-
ciation expressed concern over
reports that U. S Department of
Defense would stop logistical sup-
port to the so-called “reinforcing
reserve "
These units, said NGAT. would
provide a mobilization base on
which the country would build
its force in event of large scale
war.
Texas’ 49th Armored and 36th
Infantry divisions are both part
of this “reinforcing reserve ", as
is the 90th Reserve Division
MANUFACTURING PLANTS
TOTALED—Texas had a total of
10.325 manufacturing plants which
added $6,400,000,000 of value by
processing raw materials into fin-
ished goods in 1982. according to
the “Annual Survey of Manufac-
turers”, recently released by the
Bureau of Census.

of $589,000,000 capital expendi-

FIRE INSURANCE—After July
1, it will be illegal for an insur-
ance company to charge less than
6 percent interest per year on de-
layed premium payments for fire
insurance, a new State Board of
insurance ruling decrees.
Several years ago, the board
issued this same rule, but with-
drew it when an objection was
made by a company which charg
ed no interest at all for deferred
payments. An attorney general
nas held on two previous occa
sions that the board has no auth
ority to set minimum interest
rates on delayed payments, but
Attorney General Carr has advis
ed the board to take a new tack
However, litigation is entirely
possible on the part of insurers
who would prefer to deviate from
the ruling by charging less than
the new minimum.

PAPER NIAGARA
Businessmen today are probably more concerned with a paper
work explosion than the dropping of a bomb
There is a very good reason for this seemingly strange type of
fear The amount of paperwork demanded of business and industrial
companies by the federal government has grown to such monstrous
proportions that it has added heavily, and unfairly, to the cost of their
operations
A particular case but by no meant an isolated one was cited by
Rep Arnold Olsen (D Mont ), chairman of the House Subcommittee on
Census and Government Statistics to show how unbelievably onerous
is the paper workload imposed by go.ernmental decree
“in a single year, Rep Olsen said, a midwest manufacturing con
cern was compelled to handle 173 d fferent federal forms which in-
volved the filing of 37.C83 reports Some had to be submitted daily,
ethers weekly, monthly and annually The workload amounted to
