PRAYER.-Has not the church
almost to learn yet what is the pow
err of prayer Z What conception
have we of believing prayer before
which mountains depart? What OF
perscvering prayer, which causes lis
to stand continually upon the watch

sets us in our ward whole nights
What OF inportnnate prayer, which
storms heaven with its violence and

gathering lis together to ask help OF
the Lord w That of constant pray

which fnltills itself! Let such
prayers be understood !; let our
spirit but break with such longings,
and the expectations of our bosoms
shall not be delayed. "And it shall
come to pass, that before they call
