True Prayer.

Would you see true prayer-would you know
what prayer really is? Step into the Egyptian
palace where Benjamin. stands bound,-his
amazed and trembling brothers grouped around
the lad. Judah advances. He bows himself
before Joseph. His hearth is full. His lin
trembles. The tears glisten IN manly eve; and
now, with tenderness thrilling in every tone,
he pours Forth his plea Of surprising pathos:-
sob, my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee,
speak a word in my lords ears, and let not
thine. anger burn against thy servant. NY lord
asked his servants, saying, have We a father or a
brother? And we aid unto my lord. We have
a father, an, old man, and a child of his old age,
alittle one; and his brother is dead, ard be a.
lone is left of his mother, and hi father loved
him." Thus on he goes; and every sentence
goes like a knife into Joseph's heart. And then
he closes and crowns his appeal with this most
brave and generous proposal: 0Now, therefore
l pray thee, let thy servant abide instead Of the
lad, as bondsnan'to my lord; for how shallI
60 to my father and the lai not with me; lest
see the evil that shall come upon my father.n-
Joseph's heart, which has been swelling with
emotion, is now ready to burst. He can stand
it no Longer; nor any wonder. That is pray er.
Two wome, stand before King Solcmon.-
In the darkness of the night, one has crept,
with n~oiseless step, to her ~neighbols bed, and
while her mother slept, and the babe slept on
her bosom, softly, cautiously, she steals the
living child, and leaves her own cold, dead in
FAINT in its place. They carry the dispute to
Soiomdn-each claiming { e living. and each
repudiating the dead. With a skill that earned
him his worldwide fame, the wise monarch
summons nature as a witness. Horrible to hear,
he orders the living child to be divided. The
sword is raised-another moment, and each
mother gets a quiveling h~alf-another moment;
and interference comes too late. One stands
calm, firm, collected, looking on with q cruel
eye. With a bound that carries her to b . feet,
and a shrek that rings wild and high over all
the palace, the other--the true mother-.lasps
her hands in agony, and cries, ooh, my Lord.
give her the living child; in nc wise slay it,
That is prayer. That cry, that spring, that
look Of anguish-alf.h Sc proclaim the mother.

Where the 5illows breake, and the wild winds

Bears away a prayer for thee, @ Spring.
