Mr. Boechor having c!oscd h,s a,ldress, \
brother inquired Il they should pray for special
omySG,s, et aha whether people going to prayar
thoy might be called on to offer?
Mr' Boncher-Shalt We bring lip our children
TO to 60 to God with oupplications us they did to
their mothers? 10 teach them to pray Tint
their oyes might now be onsnod in a great mis-
take? You might aa woli pray for tho prompt
cure of n cancer or tho collie. Wo aro not to All
God to do for ua what VIC should do for our
5clyoa. It 10 true that wo ask him for
daily broad, but then We SOW tho
corn and roap it,. and make fonr OF il,
=, al,d mako tho broad ourselves. With regard
TO prayer-mcetinE, wo should certainly 70 pro-
pared, not with aentouccs committed to momory,
put y, with warn. hearts aud quicl.cnod imagina-
tona. A man al warm heart seldom offers long
prayers. Those who pray yory longthilg ara
mailing up In quantity what they lnok ii quatity.
Another brother asked: II man gets m
'ross III tho morning should hc load tho family
'rsyor, or steal out without praying at all?
'ray: Wllon man kicks oyor tho stopi md
colds lila nifc ho can pray 1iko st. Paul. Ho
h0ad t 20 worry briof, though, aud tho cldron
7'll understand tho difference.
After Q further btiof discussion Of tho subioct
lr. boecher said, II guess wo haye had cnourh
