God IIsars.h Prayer.

The faith 10 Gods promise 10 answer
prayer ia not as high as il should be
among Gods people. When m arked
instance Of answer to prayer is recorded,
il is read with surprise, and perhaps, by
some, with incredibly. Yet it would
occasion us more surprise IL some man,
in whose integrity we bad confidence,
should fail to fulfil hia promises And
shall we form lower views of God than o.
his creatures7 '' II we ask anything ao-
cordlng to His will He heareth us.
I" Let him ask Ia faith. The conditions
are few and simple Why do we not
oftener avail ourselves OF them2 Spirit

dent upon our working, rs far ia the
means are within our power; aud when
anything beyond our reach is needful for
US, He is just as willing 10 stretch forth
His all-powerful hand, aud give n to Nv,
az we are 10 give food TO our hungry
children. A pious young man taught q
Sabbath School, which required q walk
of two miles. He had no watch, and
was too poor 10 buy one, and as = ccnse-
quence vas frequently behind time. II
grieved him 10 set the children saeh
bad example, and he felt that il was Of
great Importance to himself to be nble to
arrange bis time more methodicslly, so
be humhly, in faith, laid the matter be-
fore his Master. Shortly after he was
rejoiced on receiving, from q good lady,
whose heart the Lord had touched, the
present OF a watch. II was hardly q
matter Of surprise to him, but it was Of
deep an fervent thanksgiving.
A young lady was once much dis
tressed by a difficulty which her father
had with man Of most violent aud un-
forgiving temper. The latter went away
IN a great rage, voving vengeance,
which it was quite likely he would take.
The daughter saw that great legal
trouble must follow, If his threat were to
be executed, and knowing that there was
a sure refuge in God, retired to hrr
closet. She besought Him in whose
hands are sll hearts, to change the tenn
per of the angry neighher, and give him
a better mind. She was very urgent
and anxious that God should hear and
answer her prayer, and she felt after
wards the sweetest assurance that she
was accepted. The next time the neigh
boris met the lion had become a lamb in
gentleness, and no word was ever spoken
further With regard 10 their difference.
q There il nothing in oil the range Of
nature, that is good for as, that God is
not able and willing TO give US
SO let rs come with boldness to the
throne Of Grace, and ask the Lord in
faith, for just such things as We need.

my word shall not pass away. Chris.
