HONESTY IN PRAYER.

There is hardly more wholesome ex-
ercise of godly self-discipliDe than a
courageous analysis of our words and
utterances in private devotion. For ex-
ample, what an extraordinary plight we
should find ourselves in if some of the
applications that run most glibly from
our tongues should suddenly be granted !
What surprises there would be, covering
us with confusion or turning US pale
with alarm One of the first and most
frequent of these supplications is, "Thy
will be done p But do we stop to think
into what disappointments, morti6ca-
tions, agonies, the answer, if sent, might
plunge US? We ask that our hearts may
be purified. But publication of hearts
is process that has its own conditions,
methods, instruments. Do we remember
that one of the purifying agents is fire
We ask for the grace of humility; but
do we remember that humility supplants
pride very often only by humiliation
Communicates who are avaricious trades
men or greedy politicians pray for clear
hands. forgetting that what is on thell
hands is pitch that will not come of
unless the skin comes off with it. Friv
olous women entreat that they may b.
delivered from the crafts of the devil
Do they mean that the Almighty shall
take them at their words, and that the,
are ready for the pain of the going GU
of the demon already within them
which is spirit of envy, SANDER, decep
ton, selfshness, and which goeth no
forth but by fasting as we'll as prayer
and by downright reformation of con
duct as well as fasting-in short, by
sharp battle with pleasant sins? "The
asked they know not what or how
They asked to lay hold of Christ's cross
and when he reached it to them it lace
ated their hands They had upon ther
awe and fear, as Jacob at Bethel, or Ell
phaz in the night visions, or as the apo
ties when they thought they had seen
: ghost and knew not that it was Jesu
They could almost pray him to depa
from them, or to hide his awfulness." -

prayer-meeting. Into the midst of our
secular affairs and thronging cares it
let's itself like Bethel opportunity.
We have often gone to it feeling dull,
disheartened and i'll at ease with life
and work We have seldom left it with
out being refreshed, gladdened and
strengthened. The Master is there. and
he gives peace to his waiting disciples.
Just how the secret of his love is reveal
ed to the inner consciousness in prayer
meeting. We cannot explain; but it is
the theme of joyful memory that often
and often the Lord has made himself
known here to the furnishing soul. No
Christian can afford to be intermittent
in attendance on this means of grace.
And once there, it is better for one S
spiritual help to pass by the back seat
and take the front. Christian Intelit-

"IF HAD KNOWN. Not long since
we met lady whose sad face told the
story of great mental suffering. Enter
ing into conversation with her we found
her bowed down with the weight of
sorrow from which there seemed to be
no relief. She said: "The Lord has
laid his hand very heavily upon me.
He has taken from me the light Of my
eyes and the staff of my old age" And
then. IN few words, she told me of the
death of son, promising lad, after an
illness of only few hours. and conclud-
ed by saying: 20, if l had only knosOm
he might die, how differently would
have trained him! He received no re-
ligious education. l have been so alb
sorbed in gaining the meat that perish
eth that | have neglected the more
important eternal things. o. if l had
only known !" This experience speaks
for itself. We need only add word Of
warning to all who have in their hands
the training and welfare of young i'm
mortal souls. o, see to it, dear friends
that your children are early taught the
way of life through Jesus, the only Say
Jour. Seek first the riches of the king

LITTLE JOHNNY ON DoGs.-One time
there was Teller bot dog of a man in
the market, and the dog was bitter.
After it had bit the Teller four or FIVE
times he threw close line over its neck
and led it back to the dog man in the
market. and he said to the dog man the
Teller did: "Ole man dident you use to
have this dog?'
The dog man he luked at the dog,
then he thot while, and then he said !:
"Wel, yes, l had him bout haf the time,
and the other haf be had me-"
Then the Teller he was fewrious mad,
and sed /: "Wot did you sell me sech a
dog as this'n for?"
And the ole man he spoke up and sed
"For four dollars and seventy cents,
loff1e money"
Then the Teller he guessed he would

The existence of Mormonism is liv-
ing reproach to the nation, and a pos
tive injury. The failure of the govern
ment to execute its own laws. and the
tacit yielding to many of its assumptions
has encouraged its leaders in the idea
that nothing would be done beyond the
saving appearances, in the line of its
suppression. What is needed at the
present time is wide and intelligent
discussion of the whole matter, from the
moral and religious standpoint; creating
a leading public sentiment against its
corrupting tendencies, and bringing all
the moral elements of schools and
churches and missionaries to bear direct
ly on its congregated mass of ignorant
and foreign adherents, that there may
be awakened higher conception of re-
ligious freedom and civilization. And
then the strong arm of the law should
come in without delay and suppress the
institution of polygamy, and to restrain
within Limitations its advocates and pro
fessors.-Ihe Watchnlan.

FRONT SEATS IN PRAYER
MEETING.

Why is there general aversion to
front seats in prayer-meeting? Any
where else people avoid back seats, but
at prayer-meeting modesty is an almost
universal grace. The few who sit in
front are scattered. There is apt to be
quite large area of vacant space be-
tween the leader aud the bulk of his
congregation. We passed two ladies
the other evening, just as they were
about to enter their place of worship.
"Sit as far back as possible, please" we
heard one say to the other, as they turn
ed into the lighted doorway. Of course.
if a person be in danger of sudden faint
ness, there is reason in this idea; but
this is an exceptional malady, and its
unfortunate victims minority. We
think the root of the evil-for an evilit
isis to be found in a vague and OBJ
scure feeling prevalent in many minds.
that going to prayer-meeting is some
what solemn and sorrowful duty, and
not blessed and blissful privilege.
Too many prayer-meetings are on the
key of complaint. of melancholy, of pious
and stereotyped humiliation which has
lost the ring of the genuine metal.
While the church-members 60 conscien-
tiously on the appointed evening to the
appointed place of convocatlon, they go
in formal and perfunctory manner.
Hence their vitality is low, and the
pulse of Christian life in their church
beats feebly. 1t is quite natural that
they, who 60 like slaves to the perform.
ance of task in which they have little
heart. should take back seat in the
meeting, so that they can fit away al
the first moment which decency will per
nit. But let US look at the thing il
the light of common-sense. The closer
and more compactly people are seated il
a meeting the quicker and more poten
tial is their sense of sympathy. 1t il
easier for the leader to get the meeting
fairly started when there is not wide
intervening vacancy between himsel
and others. The very fact of walkin!
well towards the front gives an emphasi
to the individual presence. Your beini
there signifies that you are there with
real purpose to be and to do what 20
can to further the interests of the meet
ing. They who occupy front seats vii
be more likely to linger for few me
ments of social converse when the meet
ing is over, and nothing helps the fam
ly feeling in the church more thorough
than the little informal meetings an
conversations of friends who exchang
words Of greeting and inquiry after th
hour of prayer. 1t Is hard for. US |
comprehend the indifference and apath
with which some regard the week.
