The preacher paused, took off his

and said:
"No, Paul. you are mistaken for once;
I'll bet you five dollars you can't, and

AT the same time putting his hand 10

Baptist Common Sense on Prayer.

Within the past few months there
has been an increase in the number
of narratives-how this one, being
bed-ridden, prayed for healing, and
was Immediately restored; and how
that one, having a note TO pay, but
no funds to meet ii, made supplica-
ton regarding the matter, and the
exact amount needed came to hand
from an entirely unexpected source.
1t is a fitting time, therefore, to re-
new the remark that 1t is not true
that whatever we pray for Alright
will surely come to pass. Paul pray
ed and prayed Alright; but the thorn
in the flesh was not removed. Jesus
prayed that the cup might pass from
him, and he must have prayed
Alright but that cup was pressed to
his lips all the same. So man may
pray Alright for his child's recovery
or his neighbours conversion; but
the child dies and the neighbor is
never brought to Christ. A church
may pray for the conversion of sim
ners in it's neighbOrhood, and yeI
sinners may not be converted, as
they were not converted i'll Noah's
time, and as no great ingathering at
tend the preaching of Jesus. Prayer
may be true prayer, may be as per-
feet prayer as ever was offered, and
yet the specific thing desired may
not be brought about. If we had
| complete accounts of all classes oil
sickness in which prayer was offered
for recovery, it may be questioned
whether the medical statistics would
show a much larger percentage OF
recovery IN them than i'll those cases
where no prayer was offered. Com
pairing lands, in which prayer is of
fered for rain or fair weather, with
lands where no such prayer is lifted
up. it is doubtful whether the mete-
orolOgist would discern any great
difference in the equability of the
rainfall. God sends his rain on the
just and on the unjust in very nearly
equal amounts. He saves the chill
dren of the ungodly from death
about as often as those of the right
eous. When he sends forth storm
and tempest, he makes little distinc.
ton between the fields of the prayer
full and the prayerless. Gods order
dering of the course of outward
events is not much more closely ac-
cOmmodated to the private desires
| of the Christian than to the wishes
of the worldly man. The Bible tells
us that prayer does not always bring
about the outward event we desire
| and experience tells that it does not
generally do so. Grant that this.
that, and the other person, were
healed by the "prayer-cure." Far
greater numbers are healed every
month by the use of ordinary physi-
clans remedies. 1t is surely very
small triumph to be able to prove
that prayer has done i'll a dozen OF
twenty cases what Quinine pills have
done in thousands. The most glori-
Gus results of prayer are not
wrought on outward nature. The
most blessed effects are the reflex
results, the changes which the act OF
prayer works in our own hearts,

WAarY Women.

Nothing is more reprehensible and
thoroughly wrong than the idea that
woman fulfills her duty by doing
an amount of work far beyond her
strength. She not only does not full
fill her duty, but she most signally
fails in it, and the failure is truly de-
plorable. There can be no sadder
sight than that of broken down,
Over-worked wife and mother-a
woman that is tired all her life
through. If the work of the house
hold can not be accomplished by Or
der, system and moderate work,
without the necessity of wearing,
heart-breaking toll, toll that is never
ended and ever begun, without max
ing life n treadmill of labor, then,
for the sake of humanity, let the
work go. Better live in the midst
I of disorder than that order should
be purchased at so high price, the
cost of health, strength, happiness
and all that makes life endurable.
The woman who spends her life in
unnecessary labor is untitled for the
highest duties of home. She should
be the haven of rest to which both
husband and children turn for
peace and refreshment. She should
be the careful, intelligent adviser
and guide of the one, the tender
and confident helpmate of the other.
How is it possible for a woman ex-
hausted in body, as a natural cOnse-
quence in mind also, to perform
either of these offices? No. it is not
possible. The constant strain is too
great. Nature gives way beneath il.
She loses health and spirits and
hopefulness, and, more than all. her
youth, the last thing that a woman
should allow to slip from her; for,
no matter how old she is in years,
she should be young in heart and
feeling, for the youth of age is some
times more attractive than youth it.
self. To the overworked woman
this green old age is out of the ques-
ton; old age comes on her sere and
yellow before its time. Her DISPOSE
ton is ruined, her temper is soured,
and her very nature is changed by
the burden which. too heavy to car
ry, is dragged along as long as
wearied feet and tired hands can do
their part. Even her affections are
blunted, and she becomes merely a
machine-a woman without the time
to be womanly, a mother without
the time to train and guide her chill
dren as only a mother can, wife
without the time to sympathize with
and cheer her husband, a woman so
OverwOrked during the day that
when night comes her sole thought
and most intense longing are for the
rest and sleep that very probably
will not come, and even if it should,
that she is too tired to enjoy. Better
by far let everything go unfinished,
to live rs best she can. than to entail
on herself the curse of overwOrk.-
