l. Pray. Notice several hints as to prayer
shown in our study this week. a. Give items
in prayer-state particulars in which you want
aid. ". 51.l b. Be importunate-cry out
show intent interest and earnestness. (V Az
C. Be persevering Do not easily give up. Prove
your sincerity of want by maintaining your
cry for assistance. Show you have confidence
by cliugng to Christ as your only help. Re-
peat your plea if it be not granted at once
(Ys. AZ and 49, d. Do not pray for self alone.
Notice "Us " in ST. Matthews account, verse So
e. Very earnest prayer may at times be in q
loud voice. (V. 49, This is not however so
much feature of prayer, and may indeed
be entirely wanting, when one praying is not
addressing a person at a distance, as in the case
of our lesson, but appealing to God, who is
spiritually ever present, right at hand on CALL
f. Pray in faith. (V 52.9
2. Never be in so great haste as not to be able
to aid an inquirer seeking Christ; never so busy
in material matters as to slight the spiritual.
Christ, though on an urgent N ission, stopped at
the cry for mercy.
8. Never discourage persons crying to Christ
for help. ". 4S.)
4. Praise God for personal fayors and for his
benefits to others. (St. Lake, Is: 49, Return
gratitude.
5. Obey. The man at once followed the or
der sent him from Christ. (Vs. 40, 50.) Christ
calls now through his ministry, bidding men
come to him. Sinners should respond to Gods
commands made known to them by the clergy.
6. Help others go to Christ. (V. 40
z. Aid the blind. There are II 1873 blind men
and 8,977 blind women-total, 20, 320-in the
United States. We are not able, as Christ
was, to restore them to sight, but we should
sympathize with them; build institutions for
their comfort and education. Blindness is
sad calamity a deplorable condition. Milton
was blind when he wrote
10 dark, dark, dark, amid the blaze of noon;
Irreooverably dark total eclipsei
Without the hope of day!
The sun to me is dark,
And silent as the moon
When she deserts the night"

to pen his regrets and request pardon.
AS he prepared to put his pen on the paper
bis eye casually fell on a newspaper that
lay upon the table, and he read this para

wiring Of my bitterest mood,
And said: "If tho Lord is tender, or cares,
He'll show me token for good"
And Miily turned, as she stood outside, in her
pretty new figured gown,
saw the tears in her big blue eyes-God bless
her! they seemed to drown
A little OF all was suffering. She waited, and
then said she:
"Pelhaps He sends us some tokens that we do
not look to see."
When she was gone / sat down and cried, with
my head on the old rcd shawl,
/ almost thought there wasn't God to plan
Tor this world at all!
Bat after I'd cried my tears away, thought OF
what Milly had said;
l thought OF it all the afternoon, and when 1
had gone 10 bed.
In the morning went to the door, and there
was my cactus at last in bloom;
great rcd, glorious blossom that had burst
'twixt the light and gloom.
And when l looked deep into It's heart, felt
kind OF an awe;
The shcai of stamens! that perfect cup! but
that wasn't all saw.
gazed at the gnarly, prichly plant, SO bare
and crooked and dry,
With that blossom Just like rosy star dropped
cut OF the morning sky,
Then sank TO my knees beside the door, and
there on the cold, wet sod,
Iknew there was One who cared for me, and
He was the loving God.
For oh If He has the power to make such a
flower by love divine,
Perhaps He will bring pure white soul from
such poor life as nine;
II is dry, and twisted, and dreary, filled up with
my household dust;
But ah! have seen His token, and l know
can wait and trust.
