Subjects "Why Our Prayers Are
Not Answered"
Last evening Rev. w. G. Gray, Pre- I
siding Elder of Austin District. preached
in the NJ e. Church on the above sub
ject. Text. James w., Sd verse. Eye
ask and receive not, because We ask
smiss." He said:
Prayer is appointed to convey the
blessings God designs to. give. The
heather thought that God was angry !;
hence In connection with their prayers
they cut themselves with knives or in
&cted other physical torture upon
themselves. thinking thus to appease
the Gods aud turn away theiy anger.
The Christians idea il that God is al
ways ready to be gracious. Prayer is
appointed that the MUD of man may
be brought into harmony with the will
of God.
Our prayers are unanswered because
we ask for impossible things. Two
men pray--oDe for rain and the other
for fair weather. Both cannot be an
swered. aa agas
Because there is animosity in our
hearts we are ia sght to pray, forgive
rs our trespasses as, we forgive these
that trespass against us" A little girl
had quarrel with her sister Lizzie.
At her evening prayer she said. ''Oh,
Lord. bless father aud mother and sis-
ter Lizzie. Then remembering the
quarrel. she added: "Never mind
LIzzIe. Lord; Amen" Because our
