The RIGHT IDEA OF PRAHER.-A
little boy once heard clergyman preach
from the text, "Verily, verify, l say
unto you, whatsoever ye shall ask the
Father in my name, l will give it to
you" After reading the text stopped
a minute, and asked bis hearers to con-
sider what it was they should like most,
and then to ask for it in Jesus name,
trusting to his promise that it would be
given to them. At the end of his SER
vice the little boy asked his aunt if she
had asked for anything. Then she
asked him what he had asked God to
give him, and said Il thought first one
thing l should ike and then another;
but did not know which it would be
best to ask, and so l said. Father thy
will be done.'" t---..-- -
