| "SAf YOUR PRAYERS IN FAIR WEATHER, II
| "A ship was in a storm. All hands were piped
on deck. On musterinp tke men, one was IN lis
sing lie was known as a daringly wicked
inan. The captain went below to seek for him,
| and found him on his knees, rapidly saving a
| prayer over and over again. Vexed at what
seemed his cowardly conduct the captain shook
him By the collar, and cried, "Say your PRAYERS
in fair weather." to which he replied in great
terror, "The Lord grant that | may see fair
weather again" Ia few hours the storm
abated. The sailor never forgot the words of
MS captain , and by Gods grace they led him
TO become prayer loving, pious, and useful
man.
The captain was in cna sense Iisht we
should pray in fair weather; then shall We have
CONFIDENCE that the Lord will hear us also ia
tue time OF our distress and peril. 1t is indeed
strange thing that men can live at any time
without prayer. Surely 1t is a great privilege
and reasonable duty to seek the mercy and
blessing OF our heavenly Father. Daily wants
daily trial. and daily sins, demand of us daily
players. Does not God invite us to draw nigh
TO his throne of grace? Has lie not promised to
give us, if we ask it, his Holy SPIRIT to help US
III our coming 10 him? Is there not a way
opened to us through Jesus Christ, the one
Mediator between God and men, through whom,
by faith in him, we can obtain remission of sup
Can we then remain prayerless, or satisfy our
selves with formless and heartiess addresses to
God' Rather let us from this hour resolve to
pray at all tmes--in the calm as well as in the
Storm, and TO pray in sincerity and feryor; or a
time may come when we shall call, and lie will
not hear us; shall seek and not fed Him.

FOR CHRisT's SAKE. Thus we close our
prayers. Is it a mere form? What does it sig
nifty We have sinhed, and can come TO God
through mediator only. In the name of Je
sus we can approach the throne, and in no
other Deists have no access TO God. No
prayer avails which ignores Christ. But his
name gives efficiency to the feeblest peiition.-
Whatsoever ye seek in My name" is a broad
assurance. Would the poor rejoice could they
use poor mans name at bank? We are more
highly favored. "All things are yours because
Christ is your endorser. Let us use his name
with reverence, love, gratitude and faith. 1t is
great privilege. It is our guarantee of life,
security peace and eternal rest. We should
pray for abundant grace and glorious reyivals
on every hand. "for Christ's sake"
