PRAYER.

Prayer is the mightiest force that men can wield; A power to which Omnipotence doth yield; A privilege unparalleled, a way Whereby the Almighty Father can elibplay His interest in His children’s ired and care. Jehovah’s storehouse IS ui docked by prayer, And faith doth turn the* key. O! would that men Made lull proof of this wondrous means, for then Would mightier blessings on the Church be* show “red, Her witness owned, her ministers empowered. And souls ingathered. Then the Gospel's sound Would soon be heard to earth’s remotest bound. All things ap* possible if men but pray, And if (iod did but limit to a day, riie- time in which He’d note the upward glance, Or fix the place, or name the circumstance When, where or why petitions could be brought, Methinks His Presence would by all be sought. But since He heareth prayer at any time I*or anything, in any place, or clime, Men lightly value Heaven’s choicest Rift. And all too seldom do their souls uplift In earnest pleading at the Throne of Grace. O, let us then more often seek His face. With grateful hearts, remembering while there To thank our Father that He heareth prayer. —Author Unknown.
