Topic For the Week beginning ApriI ca
Comment by Rev. S. II. Doyle.
TOPIC Praying for friends Job xiii. $40
Among other things the preface to the
Lords Prayer, "Our Father"-the one
IN heaven--teaches us that we should
pray with and for others. Christ does
notpray My Father, but ''Our Father, .
showing that God is the Father of all.
and that the prayers of His children
should unitedly ascend to Him. If we
should pray for all men in general, it
necessarily follows that we shtNlsle par
ticularly pray for our friends on the
principle, "Do good unto all men, but
specially to them that are of the house
hold of faith" The Scripture constantly
by precept and example, teaches that we
should pray for our friends. In each of
our topical texts an example of this char
acter is given.
l. Jobs prayer for his friends Job
xiii, S-10). Job has been in deep affiic-
ton. The hand of God has been sorelv
against him. Jobs friends, Eliphaz, Bill
dad and Zophar, attempt to comfort him
But they misjudge the cause of Gods
affection and falsely accuse Job of sim
ming against God. In the end God de-
cides in Jobs favor, commands his
friends to make an offering and promises
them that Job will pray for them.
They obey God, and Job offers his prayer
for his friends, which God accepts, and
all are reconciled, and God blessed Job
abundantly. We may call this prayer
of reconciliation and one worthy of imi-
tation. Job and his friends are es-
tranged, but by one praying for the
Others they are reconciled. Perhaps no
better rule could be found for successful
reunion of Christian people who are es-
tranged. Let friends pray for friends
under such circumstances, and reunion |
cannot but speedily follow.
2 Pauls prayer for his friends phil. |
i, 4-10). After the opening salutation
Paul begins his letter to the Philippians
with prayer in their behalf. In sense
this is the prayer of pastor for his peo-
pie. Ministers should pray for their
people, and the people should pray for
their pastors. Paul's prayer has many
model characteristics. 1t was continu-
GUS. always in every prayer of mine
making request for you all with JOY"
Prayer for friends should be regular and
continuous. 1t was for a greater in
crease Of love and in connection with
knowledge and discernment. "And this
pray, that your love may abound yet
more and more in knowledge and dis
cernment." They had love, but he want
ed it increased, and what could increase
it more than knowledge? 1t was also
prayer, the object of which was to make
them approve all that was good result
ing in sincerity in the heart, and with
fruits of righteousness without oversees
10, ~. Let us thus pray for one anoth-
er that we may have love combined
with knowledge, to approve that whicl |
is good, that we may have inward sim +
certify and outward favorable results.

Make Your Opportunities.

oNI Oppot
The true way to deal with adverse
circum stance is to be still greater
circumstance yourself. Nine out OF
10 OF the men who have been eminent.
ly successful in their calliDgs have
fought the battle of life up hill against
many opposing forces. Instead OF
bemoaning their hard lot, they have
bowed to the inevitable and used it
to their advantage. Instead ofasking
for an impossible chessboard they
have taken the one before them and
| played the game. Look at the tireless
worker, Lord Brougham Can any
one believe that by any combination
of circumstance his talents could have
been kept from asserting themselves
and winning recognition ? 1t has been
said that if his station had been that
of a shoeblack he would never have
rested content till he had become the
first shoeblack in England. The luck
Of Napoleon and Nelson consisted,
they said, in being quarter of an
hour before their time. When, in the
darkest hour Of the Indian mutiny, a
handful of Englishmen, poorly armed,
and provisioned, but splendidly led
won eight victories i'll succession, the
revolted sepoys said their conquerors
had "the DEVILS luck" but the only
luck in the case was that Of force of
will, invincible courage and skill in
arms.
Good luck is desirable even when
you have done your best to succeed,
but remember that the most favorable
or stroks of fortune are |
of little value unless you have prepar
ed yourself to take advantage of them.
OF what advantage would Haynes
fiery speech have been to Daniel Web
ster if he had not, with the instinct Of
genius, long before equipped himself
for the assault which he repealed with
such crushing energy? Had he not
previously weighed and retuted in his
own mind the charges.of his opponent
his reply, instead of ranking among
the greatest masterpieces of oratory,
might have only revealed his own
weakness. Thousands of men had
seen the prints of horses hoofs
in the soil before Faust discovered by
Them the art of printing.
The discovery by Edison of the
carbon by which he perfected his
telephone seems happy accident;
out such accident never happened to
common men. The great inventor
