All at once the sweetest peace aud rest came
over me, and | sank into such q good sleep.
Next morning ! was planning that | would
make the tin full oi'meal into mush, and
fry 1t in a greasy frying-pan, in which our
last meat had been fried. As opened the
door to 90 down TO the brook to wash. saw
something new There on the bench. beside
the door, stood two wooden pals and sack.
One pail was full OF meat, the other full OF
potatoes, and the sack filled with flour

The Force Of PRAYER.

Prayer does not directly take away trial
or its pain. any more than sense of duty di-
rectly takes away the danger of infection.
but it preserves the strength OF the whole
spiritual fibre. so that the trial does not pass
into temptation 10 sin. A sorrow comes
upon you. Omit prayer, aud you fall out Of
Gods testing into the devils temptation
you get angry hard Of heart, reckless. But
meet the dreadful hour with prayer, cast
your care on God, Claim Him as yonr Father,
though he seem cruel-and the degrading,
paralyzing, embittering effect of pain and
sorrow pass away, a stream of sanctifying
and softening thought pours into the soul,
aud that which might have wrought your
fall. but works in you the peaceable fruit Of
righteousness. You pass from bitterness
into the courage Of endurance, aud from en-
durance into battle, and from battle into
victory, till, at last, the trial dignifies and
blesses your life. The force of prayer is not
altogether effective at once. Its action is
cumulative. At first there seems no answer
to your exceeding hitter ory, But there has
been an answer; God has heard. \ little grain
of strength. not enough to be conscious of,
has been given in one way or another. A
friend has come in and grasped your hand
you have heard the lark sprinkle his notes,
like rain-drops, ON the earh-a text has
stolen into your mind, you know not how.
Next morning you wake with the old aching
at the heart but the grain of strength has
kept you alive. And SO it goes on hour by
hour, day 10y day, prayer brings its sparks
flight, till they orb into a star It's grains Of
strength, till they grow into an anchor Of the
soul, sure and steadtast. The answer To
prayer is slow the force Of prayer is cumu-
lativo. Not till life Is over Is the whole an.
swer given, the whole strengthit has brought

"On ImpOrtant Buslness."

During Mr.. MoOdy's services in London
a gentleman of eminent position and influ-
enod among the bankers Qf the city was
brought to Christ. No sooner had he sub

drew, he first fndeth his brother" who was
also a prominent business man. BY prayer
and persuasion he " brought him TO Jesus"
Great was the joy they had together in their
new lives 4 third brother Of their family
was still Christless. His home was In dis
tant part of England They were exceed
ingly anxious that he should partake Of their
Joy. After long continued intercession, they
united in telegram to him, The words

Within few days the summons was an

brother. lie was curious to know the cause
of such peremptory call. The two led the
way to quiet room in the clearinghouse,
and told him what the Lord had done for
their sanls, aud how anxious they were that
he should join them in this new fellowship,
They said that they had asked him to
come to London, that he might be able to

in Mr. Moody's meetings. This was the i'm

andgrowing, and the beautiful flowers of love
aud unselfishness greeting the poor, weary
world with the perfume In everyday life.
We get sick Of beautiful preaching and poor
acting. II is one thing to hear the gos-
pei advertised, aud quite another to see it
lived out. believe the reason why so many
sons and daughters Of professed Christians
are outside the church IS. that these children
hear the thing advertised at family prayers
and III asking grace at the table and in
many instances, alas, all the grace there is
at the table is IN that mere form Of asking
a blessing, aud in too many instances the
one that asks ii is anything but blessing
himself, and the children plainly enough see
IN the father who essays to lead the dcyo-
tions, anything but an ALLOWING, all-tender
one, whose very goodness would lead TO rc-
pentance.
We need another kind Of advertising for
the gospel We must have planting. We must
have growth Of the beautiful, so that all can
see that this which We preach is a practical
thing, 20 be planted in our families, in our
business, in all our social life, and we shall
soon have many who will say, " ! want this

The Great Helper.

Amid all the sorrows, trials and conflicts
of the present life, we need sympathy and
aid, beyond the power OF humanity to be-
stow. When the Saviour had informed His
disciples Of His prospective removal from
them, sorrow filled their hearts. lie knew
their deep grief, lie sympathized with His
sorrowing ones. How sweety did those
words fall upon their ears from His sacred
lips" Let not your hearts be troubled" So
in all our sorrows we may by faith hear the
same gentle and comforting voice.
See that suffering believer on the bed OF
langushing Remedies fail Ileart-stricken
friends can only render unayaling sympathy
But the name Of Jesus is supremely dear,
indicating these precious assurances Fear
not, for am with thecl ho not dismayed
for ! am thy God viii strengthen thee
yea, will help thee, yea, will uphold thee
by the right hand Of my righteousness"
See that mourner weeping for the memory
Of the dear departed Sweet as the heavenly
melody upon the bleeding heart fall the
balmy words of the Son OF God 81 an
the Resurrection and the Life" The gloom
of the grave is dispelled, and the glories OF
immortality break in upon the soul in full
and heavenly radiance.
Toilng aborer In Christian WORK what
can impart the needed energy and strength
TO labor successfully in your field OF toll but
the name Of Jesus No motive in the uni
verse Is so potent as His inspiring name and
constraining love.
