number of years as President of -four

HEARTFELT PRAYER.

Within the silence Of my room
bowed my head IN prayer;
Nv heart was filled With bitterness,
Oppressed with heavy care;
Nv mind was full or vanity,
And as | lOwly knelt,
The want OF faith and trustfulaess
Within my soul felt.
Ny heart was proud, and al my strength
Was feetIng swift away;
Upon TIE wo;ld were all M thoughts,
and yet [ knelt TO pray
In agony raiSed my voice,
Ny woe could not bear:
'-Seni- oh, my LoEd. thy spirit down,
Assist me IN my prayer"
With thoughts Of prayer I knelt me down,
Bat words i could not speak,
There was 10 tears OF penlteacc
Upon my furowed cheek;
A voice within nv soul was heard,
