SPuR0EoN Keep prayer going; do not lie

gives us a good ideal about prayer. He says ::
"Prayer Is the rope in the beliry; we pull it,and
1t rings the bell up in heaven" Aud so 1t is
Mind you keep that bell going. Pull 1t weli.-
Come up TO prayer-meetings. Keep on pulling
it; and though the bell is up so high that you
cannot hear Ii ring, depend upon 1t it can be
heard in the tower of heaven, and is ringing be-
fore the throne of God, who will give you all
swer of peace according to your faith. May
your faith he large and plentiful, and so will
your answer be! Cast your troubles where you
have cast your sins; you have cast your sins III
to the depths of the sca-there cast your troll
Dles also. Never keep a trouble half an hour
on your own mind before you toll 1t to Cod
AS soon as the trouble comes, quick, the first
thing, tell it to your Father, Remember that
the longer you take telling your trouble TO God,
the more your peace will he impaired. The
! longer the frost last, the more likely the pond
will be frozen.

the yellow fever at Shreveport was the Hon
Samuel letcrs, member of Congress elect from
the Western district OF Louisiana. He was
cashier for the Freedmen's savings bank, of the
above mentioned city,snd bad the funds of that
institution under his control. The dreadful
disease carried him off SO suddenly that he had
not time to give any directions concerning the
affairs Of the bank, and he died without making
known the "combination" on which the safe
was locked, The books show that th,re are

in that part of the country who can open the

A Missionary of the American sunday School
Union in Arkansas writes: "a young man fled
from arrest to this neighborhood, in rags and
dirt, entirely destitute, but carrying heavy re-
volvsr. On the next Sunday he was invited to
Sunday school. No he did not attend such
dry gatherings, but preferred 10 spend Sunday
In horse-raceing, card-playing, dancing. &c
But on the second Sunday he came TO Sunday
school from curiosity, and after hearing the
childrn's lessons and singing, he said, 1t looks
nice. On the third Sunday he Joined the
school, and in the prayer meeting rose, with
several others, asking for prayer. The mis-
home by the illness of his mother, he said he
believed the Lord had sent him to this place to
save his soul, and that benceforth he would
carry Bible Instead of a revolver"
