YinTS substantial amounts of
W Texas’ gasoline tax paid by
commercial trucks vital to transpor-
tation, by buses, by cars of defense
plant workers and by other passen-
gers engaged in essential business,
it is possible that increased war-
time activities may partially offset
war curtailment.
This view is expressed in a study
of the outlook for Texas state aid
high-way bonds, released by James
C. Tucker, partner of Barcus, Kin-
dred & Co., of Austin, municipal
bond specialists. These state aid
bonds receive 1? of the 4< state gas-
oline tax.
Figures from the Planning Survey
of the Texas Highway Department
are cited, showing that 28 per cent
of Texas gasoline taxes are paid by
trucks and buses and 72 per cent
by passenger cars. The study then
points out that interest charges on
state aid bonds during the next five
years could be paid if collections
fell to only 29 per cent of the 1941
receipts.
Surveying the future outlook, the
study states that if gas tax collec-
tions cover interest charges but not
all maturing principal, two courses
are open:
1— Counties may levy taxes to cov-
er deficiencies. In the first three
years of the State Aid Act, counties
were required to levy taxes averag-
ing $2,000,000 to cover estimated de-
ficiencies. They are economically
better able to provide such amounts
today.
2— Maturing principal of state aid
bonds may be refunded. Inasmuch
as $28,956,541 or 34 per cent of the
present outstanding state aid, ma-
tures within the next five fiscal
years, some extension of principal
maturities would be justified.

Lesson for August 9
ABRAHAM'S INTERCESSORY |
PRAYER
LESSON TEXT—Genesis 18:23-33.
GOLDEN TEXT—The effectual fervent!
prayer of a righteous man availeth much.—:
James 5:16.
Prayer has been the subject of
thousands of books of sermons with-!
out end; yet how little it is actually
practiced. Conferences are held to
discuss it, and they attract large|
audiences, but at prayer meetings!
we find only a handful.
We are sure that "prayer changes|
things,” and we agree that it is the;
most powerful force at man’s dis-,
posal, but we go right ahead trying!
to change things in our own strength.!
‘‘O what peace we often forfeit, j
O what needless pain we bear, !
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!”'
Our lesson from the life of Abra-
ham stresses one important phase ofj
prayer—prayer for others.
I. The Nature of Intercessory!
Prayer.
1. It Is a Privilege. i
We speak of the burden of prayer,!
but let us also recall that it is a
privilege. Abraham had been hon-!
ored by a visit from the Lord. The!
covenant had been renewed and a!
son promised (Gen. 18:1-16). Then!
the Lord, because of His friendship!
with Abraham, shared with him (v.j
17) His purpose of judgment on!
wicked Sodom and Gomorrah.
How glorious to be on such inti-;
mate tdfcms with God—to know Him]
and to know His plans and purposes.:
Would you enjoy having such fel-
lowship? You may through Jesus1
Christ and through the study of!
God’s holy Word.
2. It Is a Duty. j
Privilege brings corresponding re-i
sponsibility. The two men went!
toward Sodom, but “Abraham stood]
yet before the Lord” (v. 22), to;
pray for the wicked cities.
Those who know God’s plans are]
to share them in prayer. Those!
who have audience with the King of!
Kings are those to carry the blessed!
burden of prayer for others as well!
as for themselves.
Are we praying for our nation,
for its President and leaders; fori
our city, for our church, our fami-i
lies, our children, our friends? The
deeper the need, the greater the
wickedness, the more we need to
pray. If we as Christians do not
pray, who will pray?
3. It Is a Reality.
Some modem religious leaders]
would take all reality out of prayer;
by making it a sort of spiritual ex-
ercise which operates only on the
soul of the one who prays, giving
him new strength and a sense of
well being. Undoubtedly the very
fellowship with God which is inher-
ent in true prayer is spiritually
beneficial; but prayer is objective,!
not merely subjective. It deals with!
nations and cities, men and women,
problems and sin and sorrow. It!
concerns every need of man—phys-j
ical, mental and spiritual.
II. The Spirit of Intercessory,
Prayer.
1. Unselfish.
Abraham had the assured bless-
ing and promise of God. The cities!
were wicked and unrepentant. If;
he had taken the attitude of many!
church folk, he would have said, “It!
serves them right. Wipe out their]
wickedness.” But Abraham prayed]
for them in complete unselfishness.!
Can those who know the spirit of!
Christ be selfish in prayer?
, 2. Bold and Courageous.
Note the reverent boldness with!
which Abraham pleaded the cause!
of the cities. God is not displeased]
to have us press our cause in
’prayer; in fact, the Bible reveals;
'that He frequently answers accord-
ing to the earnestness with which!
men pray. He has always honored'
and used men of holy courage.
3. Persistent.
No one—not even God—likes a
"quitter.” Remember those who,
were heard for their importunity7,i
(Luke 11:8; 18:1-8). Many pray like
the little boys on Halloween. They!
ring the bell and run.
Abraham persisted; fifty, forty-
five, forty, thirty, twenty, ten—per-
haps he should not have stopped
even there. God who saw his per-
sistent faith went the rest of the
way and saved the only four who
could be saved, and even of those,
three were infected with the wicked-
ness of the place.
“Let us not be weary in well do-
ing” as we pray, “for in due season
we shall reap, if we faint not”
(Gal. 6:9).
III. The Result of Intercessory
Prayer.
God had to destroy the cities.
There are some kinds of violent
infection which must be destroyed by
fire for the sake of others. Out of
the destruction, however, God did
deliver the righteous Lot, which was
doubtless Abraham's real desire.
God hears and answers prayers.
That is not only the testimony of
His Word, but of countless Chris-
tian men and women down through
the ages even to our day. The one
who would deny the efficacy of
prayer must faoc an overwhelming
flood of authenticated answers.
