that God was interfering eyery
moment in the direction of individual
and national concerns, and so certain
also that they knew precisely what the vii
OF Heaven must be, that they were tenn pt-
ed into recapitulation and exDostulation
when stating particularly deserving case
But they were rarely led astray by a oasire
to appear eloquent or design to find favor
with an audience instead of the Lord. In
our day it is the wish to prevail before men
that influences persons like thas Rev.
Robert Nourse. When a clergyman 10
these sceptical times catches the spirit of
convention. assumes the righteousness and
wisdom of what it is about to do, virtually
lmputes delinquency to Providence if the
state be not carried by the republicans,
and lays down the Identical principles
which the temporary chairman in a stump
speech adopts, it is natural to infer that he
is praying after the manner of the Scribes
and Pharisees, The style on which Mr..
Nourse prayed and the style 10 which the
correspondence the Times describes his
prayer are to some extent the result of the
rivalry among western newspapers, which
few years ago fell into the mistake of sup
posing the best account of an important
event to be the longest and not the most
skilfully edited. Hence every detail of
great meeting was photographed, and the
reporters, with the fidelity of Chinese copy
lists, adopted the habit of beginning:
The Rev. Mr.. Blank advanced to the
front of the platform, extended his
hands, encased in three-button black kids,
and addressed the Throne of Divine
Grace in the following neat and appropri-
ate words" AS natural consequence
the western journalist and the western
ministers have gradually come to consider
prayer on public occasion as partaking
OF the nature of the speeches or the resc-
lutions adopted. 1t is to be regretted that
no specific mention is made in the report
of Mr.. Nourses petition as to whether he
put forward the candidacy OF General
Grant for third term and recon m ended
it to the Almighty with the enthusias N
with which the delegation from Decatur
and the Glee Club thrust it before the con-
vention. With the religious, the artistic
and the mechanical elements Of the repub
lican party united in his favor, the candi-
dacy of the ex-president might become a
serious matter.-N Y. World.
