Still further, the spirit of Christ was

Stil further, the spirit OF Christ was
u spirit Of prayer. Prayer on the noun
laiDs. Prayer In Gethsemane. Prayer
on the lake. Prayer among the sick,
Prayer on the cross, Why, You can not
mention the name OF Jesus without be-
ing obliged TO think Of prayer, Prayer
for little children: ~ thank
thee, o Father, Lord OF heaven
and earth, that thou hast hid
these things from the wise and prudent,
aud hast revealed them unto babes"
Prayer for His friends: "Father, will
that they be with Me whore am"
Prayer for His enemies; "Father, forgive
them, they know not what they do.
Prayer for all nations: "rhy kingdom
come" How little OF that spirit you
and hayel How soon our knees get
tired Who IL there that for ten min
utes can keep hio mind away from the
store aud the Office aud the shop and
concentrate II In snpplicati0nY Whore
are The Walls full OF 0dOrs which are the
y ayers OF the aainteY Oh, We want more
prayer In the house, more prayer In the
nursery, more prayer In the pafl0r, more
prayer In tho social circle, moro prayer
In the church, more prayer In the legis'
l0tiye hall, more prayer among the
young, more prayer among the old. Lord,
teach M how to pray. We have not
tested its power yet. The very moment
the Diet Of Nuremburg were singing the
Cdlct that gave dellyerance TO Pr0tes-
tants, that very moment Martin Luther
was kneellng down In his private room
praying for the accomplishment Of the
object. without any communication
between the Diet OF Nuremberg aud the
room where Martin Luther was praying
for that grand accomplishment, Martin
Luther rose from his knees with shout,
rushed out In tho street aud cried: "Wc
have got the Victory. The Protestnnte
aro free" That was prayer getting the
answer straight from the throne. We
need t0 pray like Daniel, with our fut Q
toward The Holy CITY, We need 10 pray
| Ike the publican. smiling on our heart,
We need to pray like Paul. "0h, ,wretched
man that | am, who ahall deliver mep'
Wo need 10 pray like Christ, who first
empiled oil the life blood out Of Hls
heart, aud then filled that heart With the
sighe, and the groane, aud the wants,
aud the agonies OF all generations.

SILL further, tho apirit OF Christ was
| tho spirit OF work. There was not "A lazy
moment In all His life. whether He
WAS talking 10 the fishermen on the
beach, or preaching 10 the sailors on the
deck, or addressing the rustics nmid the
mountains, or spending the summer
evenings In tho village, Ho was always
busy, ilewing In tho carpenter shop,
Helping tho lame man TO walk without
any crutoh. Curing the child's fts
Providing ratlone for o hungry host,
Always buuy He was. The hardy men

From tho day on which lie stepped out
from the caravansary OF Bethlehem 10
tho day when He aot His cross In the

work, work, work oil the way. II IL not
