Brother Wilson Il wish to make a
request through the medium of the Advo-
cate, to those who believe in the efficacy
of prayer. !
Among the many claims upon the chris
tian for their sympathy and prayers, l
think that those, who for their crimes, are
confined within the walls of the prison
should not be forgotten. Ifear they have
not been prayed for as they should. We
have been accustomed to consider their
case almost, or quite past recovery, when
at the same time we believe as great sim
ners as any now in our prisons, have OBJ
tanned mercy. Although many years
have passed since the erection of the
Maine State Prison, without what is call
eda revival ofreligion, yet there have been
cases of hopeful conversions; some are
now members of churches, who were
awakened while In prison, and have for
years given good evidence of a genuine
reclamation. | have conversed with ma
ny ofthe convicts, who tell me they have
pious friends, either parents, companions,
or brothers and sisters. Let us make las
much as possible) the case ofthese friends
our own were it my companion, child,
or brother there confined, and though we
have long prayed for them, and still pray
for them, but as vet, we see them harden
ed in sin; did we know that they were
made the subjects of prayer by God deal
children, should we not feel greatly en-
/ couraged, that though our counsels and
prayers were unavailing; the united, fer
vent prayer would be heard2 e'a. =.

as dear to them as your children are to

of the praying circle, let their case be
among the many subjects presented at the
throne of grace and let them not be for

often mouth in prayer for religious as
semblies. We know, however wicked
they may have been, thepower and grace
of God can change them. This power

let me speak oft to the praise Of our dear
Redee mer, for the encouragement of
christians to pray. and for the comfort of
those who have friends confined there,
that the power Of the Divine Spirit has
been gloriously displayed of late within
the walls of the Maine State Prison. To
witness the attention and deep solemnity
under the word preached, and to converse
with them and hear them mourn over and
confess the sinfulness of their past life,
and speak ofthe goodness of God and the
love of Jesus, / am led to exclaim, What
hath God wrought and do feel that the
mighty power of God has effected this
revolution. l am aware, that, consider
ing their former life, we are admonished
to rejoice with trembling; yet to doubt the
reality OF some true conversions to God
among them, l dare not, cannot.

May we fervently pray that the reli

SPIRITUAL SLAVERY.

Mr. Editor,-A few weeks since, as l
was looking over the columns Of the Chris
tan Secretary, a Baptist paper, published
in this city, my eye fell upon the three
following most singular and Anticipated
queries -
-. Is it the duty of Christian Females
to speak or pray in religious conference
and prayer meetings in presence of the
other sex2 2. Is it scriptural! 3. Does
it have a good influence upon church
where it is practiced, and upon the impen-
itent p
And as no one has answered them,
will, You please, do it through the me-
dunn Of your paper.
These queries, if understand them,
seem to be formed upon the assumption
that women are inferior to men, either in
mental endowments, literary accomplish
ments, or spiritual gifts, or all of them -
and, therefore, their exercises cannot pos
sibly profit the stronger sex. Or else

gious affairs they are placed under the
ban ofthe Almighty, and are forbidden by
him to speak, in any. and every sense Of
the word, in the presence Of their breth.

Licentiowsness and heCkureh In con-
versation with pious gentleman, dis
printer of this city, while lay
ing before him the plans of the American
seventh commandment Society, he re-
marked 'that irnpurity Of thought was not
only sin, but the SIN of the church. That
it was the great obstacle to her sanctifca-
ton and success Upon this point"
saws he, will all stand convicted before
God" Brethren in the ministry, breth-
rem in the churches, is this the fact? Is
the great obstacle to the specification and
success of the church to be found in, the
licentiousness of those who profess to be
born of the Spirit! Our own convictions
on this subject are in perfect accordance
with those of the gentleman above named.
The seventh, like all the rest OF the COM
mandments. extends to the thoughts and
intents of the heart, and 'whosoever look
eth on a woman to lust after her, hath COM
mitted adultery with her already in his
heart According to this divine inter-
nretation of the law, how much impurity
+ there in the church of Christ! Let the
consciences of those who know that this
is their easily besetting sin, and who
mourn over it, making constant efforts to
subdue it. answer. If it is a fact that IL
centiousness in thought and feeling is the
prominent obstacle to the sancti6cation
and success ofthe church-is it the duty,
is it the privilege of the church to pass
over this sin in silence2 We say boldly.
No. The time has come when the church
must look at this subject and Prayerfully
