Repetition I'm Prayer.


but when 50 pray use not vain repe
tition. as the heather do; for they think
they shall be heard for their much speak.
ing''- Matthew 6:7.
In no exercise of religious privilege
or duty is there greater need of proprie.
ty than in prayer. ln approaching the
Almighty the greatest reverence com,
lhned with the most earnest devotion i.
entirely necessary. No hypocriticaI
| rretensions, and no bOmbastic display
must enter the holy sanctuary Of G od.-
His eye beholds the evil and the good
his ear is open TO the fervsnt pra, er oil
the needy, and his hand is open to sup.
| ply the wants Of all; hence we neen moi
attempt 10 enlighten his infinite mind il
regard TO our wants, nor worry him by
oit.repeated petitions TO heed our cries
He knows our wants before we make
them known, and he is mercifully dis
posed before we feel our need of hi:
help.
The prophets OF Baal may cry from
morning even until noon, with an in.
tense and increasing repetition, 20 BaaI
hear u.s." The Mahometan may lift up
his oit-repeated invocation TO the Proph
ct, and the Pagan may number his ter
thousand expressions Of worship to his
idol, because all these dumb idols have
no ears to hear; but let the worshippers
Of the true God avoid such foolish and
vain repetitions when they come into
his presence. The Lords prayer is an
admirable specimen Of religious devo
tion. In it no redundsncies appear, nc
sentences are repeated, no vain desire:
are expressed. The emotions of the sou
are expressed in revereutial langus
and every need is presented in sim plici
~ and earnestness.
But how widely do many Of our mod
ern prayers contrast with that hol,
model2 How frequently are such ex
pressions repeated as those which fol
low: % Lord Heavenly Father,
Lord Jesus, Lord God Almighty Al
mighty God. Jesus Master 'Mercifu
6od.' These, and kindred expressions
are often repeated in public prayer TO al
extent that actually borders upon iuev
erence, aud that make God as llfeles
as BOal himself.
We would suggest 10 all who offer W
their hearts 10 God in prayer, to study
propriety of language. to avoid redundan
cies, and quit the abominable practic,
Of repeatedly using such innovations un
til they become irksome to all who en-
gage in worship.
Many Of our brethren, both ministers
and members. use many repetitions such
as the above, witeout being aware o
the fact. Let some person count act
expressions as are used in one simple
prayer and inform the person who thu:
usee them and he can hardly be p.rsuad
ed that he is the slave of such habit
Whoever is guilty let him be more care.
fnl in future, and improve after the mo.
del of our adorable Redeemer.-S. w
