Saved by Prayer.

remember once when there was
conference at Mt Vernon, in this State,
at which was present. Bishop Jayne
was presiding on one afternoon, and af-
ter reading a dispatch stating that Bish-
opSimpson was Cying in Pittsburg, asked
that the conference unite in prayer that
his life might be saved. Weknelt down
and Mr.. Taylor, the great California
street preacher, led in one of his beauti-
full prayers. After the first few senten-
ees, III which l joined with my whole
heart, my mind seemed to be at ease, and
did not pay much attention to the rest
of the prayer, only to notice its beauty.
When We arose from our knees, | turned
to a brother and said, ''Bishop Simpson
will not die; feel it," then told him
how the feeling had come over me, and
he assured me that he had experienced
the same feeling. / took my book and
made a note of the hour and circum-
stance. Several months afterward met
Bishop Simpson and asked him what he
did to recover his health. He answered
that he did not know, but that the ply
sieian said it was miracle. He said that
one afternoon, when at the point of
death, the doctor left him. saying that
he should be left alone for half an hour.
At the end of that time the doctor re-
turned, and Immediately nOsieeda great
change in the patient. He was startled,
and asked the family what they had
done for the Bishop, and they replied
nothing at all. That half hour found,
by making allowance for the difference
in localities, was Just the time we were
praying for him at Mt. Vernon. From
that time on he steadily improved, and
has lived to bless the Church and hu-
manity. If the Lord could touch the
| vitality in one direction, he could in an
other. Bishop Simpsons case and ten
thousand others are living examples OF
| that to-day. God does answer prayer
for physical good / know he does. On
| the GOd who has so often answered my
| prayers / will still rely, scientific men
and philosophers to the contrary, not
withstanding. Amen. BisI,op BOlCBIdH,
| an fhe Ilid Sentinel.

MAKE STRAIGHT PATHS. Young men,
when they first go away from home, and
young women, at their first entrance up
on society, are apt to incur needless
isks to character and reputation from
sheer fooIhardiness. They do not intend
to do wrong, but they wish to ''use their
freedom" They feel strong and are
wise in their own cOnceit. They would
like TO do some daring deed and come
out unscathed, just to falsify the pre-
dictiOns Of Older heads. We have known
many youths to th-ow themselves in the
way Of wicked temptation, and TO walk
purposely on the edge Of some fatal
precipice, for the mere purpose Of show
ing their moral agility in escaping.
For such, and for all who have any in
fiuenee with such, we have a message
worth considering. Make straight paths
for your feet, lest that which is lamed
be turned out Of tire way, but let it rath-
er be healed.
Not even the Son Of God would make
a needless leap from the pinnacle Of the
temple Angels will bear us up in every
danger, 50 that no person doing his duty
shall suffer bruising; but he who chOos-
IS the toughest and most dangerous
paths without being called to tread them
is tempting God TO leave him to the nat
ural results Of his own wiekedness.

depreciation and kept them fer long
time at a value higher than their great
volume would warrant. But when gov
ernment abandOns this promise, and
enters upon the permanent policy Of in
crea>ing them at the discretion Of what
ever party happens to be- uppermost in
Congress, is it not inevitable that the
whole body Of them will rapidly depre-

Tire Fathers Duty.

We estimate a mothers importance in
her family, as high as any one can; and
yet We do not believe thai she mOnopo-
lies all the qualities needed in the great
work Of training up human beings. Her
familiarity with her children places her
in some respects at a disadvantage for
the exercise OF wholesome authority The
wise father will not indeed take the reins
Of the family government from his wife;
but he will make his children feel that
her gentle sway is sustained by firm
and steady hand; that behind "A mothers
tender heart stands cool Judgment, and
a will stronger than their own, and that
they cannot impose on the one nor resist
the other. But If he would De truly the
father of his family, lac must not be
stranger to them. 1t will answer no
purpose for him to come once in a while
to meet some great emergency, and awe
down rebellion By hard authority. lie
must be the companion, the friend OF
his children. Strong, natural love must
be the base Of beneficial discipline.
But this is also, we had almost said,
equally necessary for the father himself
Nothing keeps the heart so fresh and
young, saves it from bitterness and cor
rosiOn through the cares and conflicts
and disappointments of life, as the daily
enjoyment of a happy home. A man Of
business, or a scholar, who thus allows
himself time for relaxation, and for the
play Of domestic affections, will, in the
eourse Of years, accomplish more, with
less wear Of mind and body, than one
who has been all the time on the stretch,
seeking ''to catch the nearest way to
wealth or any other object of pe.sonal
or public good.
