THE SPIRIT OF PRAYER.

The Rev. Mr.. jackson preached in the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church in Seyenth-st yesterday 10 a
large congregation. The sermon upon the text
" Lord, teach us to pray"
Prayer said he is oneof the most important features
of godness. AS intercourse between individuals Is i
possible without speech. communion with God
is impossible without prayer. He who says
that there is no God needs not pray. But
no who believes IN God wants 70 pray
He must believe that by prayer only God be sought
cannot know God without praying 70 Him. II Is I'M
possible to live Christian f0 without prayer Can you

PATIENCE IN WELL DOING.

Rect (Pro.estdnf EptseopaLl


The Rev. DR.. Thomas X Conrad, the ass0-
ciate rector Of Church Of the Heavenly Rest on
Ffthaye above Fortyftth-st, preached at the morn
ing service yesterday He took his text from Romans,
H. 7: ITO them who, by patient continuance In well
doing seek for glory honor, and immortality, eternal
life"
After short introduction DR.. Conrad said that IL was
n serious mistake cOnfound actual attainment with
faithful and really Christian effort or to deny ourselves
the comfoPs OF conscious fellowship with the Savior be-
cause still imperfect The central lesson Of the
text was the great prizes Of the Christian life
we're bestowed upon those who, could boast OF Illus
trous attanments. but that they were given
to those who we're patiently and humbly fulfill
ing their duties In their appointed spheres how
ever lowly where the conflicts Of the spiritual
life seemed endless. There was therefore, no
reason to be discouraged. Patience Is a word which
recognizes hindrances, and continued patience implies
that those hnderances not easy TO overcome The
test of holiness is thus in athfulness OF effort rather
than in the coveted results of and ackDow
lodged sanctness. The application OF the Apostles
promise both TO those who conscious tndJ Jhelr
attanmens imperfect and to those who mourn the
hnderance adverse circumstances, aud is an assur
ance, In either case thaI real devotion sha Do re-
warded. They who feel that they could serve Coo De

occupations were less engrossing we're 70 nd tue rem

that they best suited TO highest interests. And

AN INSTANCE OF REAL HONESTY. The
Winchester News records an instance OF hon
esty on the part of au Ohio Federal scout which
deserves prominent mention. 1t appears that
during the war this scout. whose uame is not
given, captured a colt belonging to MIR. John
Purcell, and horse belonging to Mr.. Henry
Ritter, of Frederick county. Both of those
parties lately received letters from this scout
stating that he had captured these horses dur
ing the war and not knowing to whom they be-
longed had sold them. Believing 1t not right
to take private property" he enclosed the value
of the horses to their owners by express, aud
the parties got the mouey. This honorable
conduct deserves an honorab Bile mention.
