PRAYER.

Prayer is first principle in devotion; and devo-
nourlshes and sustains every pious sentiment and
every practical virtue. The body requires
food at regular intervals-as morning, noon
and evening. The soul, too, needs a regular
habit of devotion, much as physical health de-
Ponds upon regularity in diet, exercise &c. 1t
is judcious therefore, to appropriate, every day,
certain portions of time to the exercise of pray
or; this time may be easily given to such pur-
pose if person is SO disposed. Who cannot find
ten minutes of the morning or of the evening, or
IN the course of day, to be appropriated to pur-
poses of devotion, if he will Doubtless any one
can find such time to be given to purposes of pleas
IRE or of busness-and is not the souls improve
nent entitled to as much attention the gratf-
cation of the mere animal passions
As a preparation for profitable prayer, the mind
should engage itself for time in serious medta-
ton on the majesty and glory of the Creator, and
on human dependence and snfulness. This will
make the person humble, and inspire him with
the right feelings to engage in the exercise with
advantage to his own heart.
Formal prayer is apt to be heartess and me-
chaneai. They who cannot pray without, may
do well to pray by book, in the ideas and Ian
guage of another;- perhaps this is better than
thing; but one sincere desire arising to God
from the altar of the human heart in retirement,
IL worth more in His sight than all the mechani-
cal and studied prayers ever composed and reel.
ted in christendom. Hence secret prayer has
been commended by our Lord as of the most
value and importance. Formal praying may be
hypocrtical but secrect prayer is always sincere.
Then motive can exist in the mind but what
God approves. When thou prayest, enter into
thy closet, and He who seeth in secret shall re-
ward the openly .-Baaner.
