your Majesty, only can they do it?
That's the idea. So the King was
good deal disturbed, and he went to
the prophets OF Baal, and they said,
pretty airy, that if he had an altar rea-
dy, they were ready; and they intimat-
ed he better get it insured, too.
80 next morning all the children
of Israel and their parents, and the
other people. gathered Themselves to-.
gether. Well, here was that great
crowd Of prophets Of Basl packed to-
gether on one side, and Isaac walking
up and down all alone on the other,
putting up his job. When time was
called, Isaac let on to be comfortable
and indifferent; told the other team to
take the first innings, So they went
at it, the whole $50, praying around,tho
altar, very hopeful, and doing their
level best. They prayed an hour
two hours-three hV,rs-and SO on.
plumb till noon. It want any use
they hadn't took q trick. OF course
they felt kind Of ashamed before all
those people, and we'll they might.
Now, what would magnanimous man
do? Keepstill, wouldn't he? Ofcourse.
What did Isaac do9 He graveled the
prophets Of Baal every way he could
think Of. Says he, You don't speak
loud enough your Gods asleep, like
enough, or may be he's taking walk;
you want to holler, you know'-or
words to that effect; ! don't recollect
the exact language. Mind, don't
apologies for Isaac, he had bis faults.
swell, the prophets of Baal prayed
along the best they knew how all tho
afternoon, and never raised spark.
At last, about sundown, they were all
tuckered out, and they owned up and
quit. al'H 3laa52i
"Whst does Isasc do, now +? He steps
up and says to some friends Of his
there, Pour four barrels Of water on
the atari Everybody was astonished,
for the other side had prayed at it dry,
you know. and got white washed. They
poured it on. Says he, heave on four
more.' Then he says, heave on four
more Twelve barrels, you see, alto
getber. The water ran all over the al
tar, and all down the sides, and filed
up trench around it that would hold
couple Of hogsheads-'meas it
says; reckon it means about hogs
head. Some Of the people we're going
to put on their things and 60, for they
allowed be was crazy. They didn't
know Isaac. Isaac knelt down and
began to pray; he strung along and
strung along, about the heather 10 dis
taut lands, and about the sister church
es, and about the State and the coun.
try at large, and about those that's in
authority ia the Government, and all
the usual programme, you know, till
everybody had got tired aud gone to
thinking about something else, aud
then, all Of q sudden, when nobody
was noticing, he outs with match and
rakes it on the under side OF his leg,
and pfl up the whole thing blazes
like q house afre. Twelve barrels OF
water? Petroleum, sir, petroleum!
chats what it was !"
Petroleum, Captain ?"
"Yes sir; the country was full OF it.
Isaac knew all about that. You read
the Bible. Don't you worry about the
tough places. They amt tough when
you come to think them out and throw
light on them. There amt thing in
the Bible but what is true; all you
want is to go prayerfully to work ani
