STONEWALL JACKSON,s rr1sT
PUBLIC PRAypp


When General Stonewali" Jack
son first united with the Presbyterian
church, In Lexington, he became nj
once very regular in his attendance
| upon the services of Gods house and
the performance of his external reli.
glous duties, but for. a long time he
did not take any public part in church
matters. at last his pastor 1.-THE
venerable DR.. White) preached a
sermon on PRAYER, IN which he urged
that 1t was the duty of every male
member of a church to lead hi nnhlie
prayer. The next day faithful
"elder (slnce called to his rewardl
asked Major" jackson what he
thought OF the sermon. He prompt.
~ replied that he did not believe
that it was his duty to lead in public
prayer-that he was satisfied that he
could not pray to edifcation." and
II was useless for. him to attempt if.
" Have you made the matter a sub.
ject of secret prayer, Major, that God
might direct you to a proper dpci |
sion !" persisted the elder. "No. air.
have not, but will do 40 to night
was the characteristic response.
The elder advised him to talk. the
matter over with DR.. White. and he
started at once for the PASTORS study.
where he had long conference on
the snhject-taking full notes of
what the pastor had to say.
The next day the elder saw him
walking rapidly by his place of busl.
ness, without stopping, as was his
and fearing that he desired
o AVOID the subject of the previous
laws conversation, he called him
'ack and asked him if he had pra, ed '
'ver that matter. Yes, sir, and |
vas Just ON my way to tell DR.. White
hat he must call on me to lead in
'rayer at the prayer-meeting to-
light" Meeting his pastor on the
treet, he walked out in the mud TO
I'll him that he was satisfied that
e ought to lead in prayer, and want.
d to be called on. In due time This ,
AS done. and the Major made a
ungllng, lame effort, which made y
ne pastor and all present feel very t.
