Try 1T on EIM,-Thc Knickerbocker
tells an excellent story of BHrchard, the
reyivalist; not of him, exactly, either,
but Of what happened at the close of his
meeting. He was in the habit of address
ing his congregation in this wise:
am now gong to pray, and | want
ell that desire to be prayed for, or have
any of their friends who are absent prav-
ed for, to send up their names on a piece
Of paper
On the occasion to which we refer, there
was at once sent up to the desk quite Il
number of little slips of paper with the
names of persons on whose behalf he
was to 'wrestle, as he said, with the Al
mighty. A pause soon ensued, when he
said, send 'em upl can pray for five
hundred just as easy as can for dozen.
Send 'em up! If you haven't any paper
get up and name the friend that you want
prayed for At this stage of the proceed
ing, n man whom We shall call Uzlel Biggs,
a stalwart fellow Of six feet and a-haf in
his stockings, a notorious unbpliever and
a confirmed wag, to boot, ruse in the midst
of the congregation, a mark for all, aud
amidst the winks, becks and smiles Of the
auditory, said:
Mr.. Burchard, l want yCu to pray for
Jim Thompson
The reverend petitioner saw from the
excitement in the audience that Oziel was
'hard case
What is your name, sir, and who is
Mr.. Thompson?
It's Jim Thompson he keeps the tav.
ern down in Thompsonville, and keep a
public house little below him. He is an
internal scoundrel, and | want you to give
him lift
But said Mr.. Burchard, have you
faith in the efficacy of prayer? Do you
