Rev Or. Peters has a three-column
article In the Evening Post Of August 9TH,
wherein he accounts for the origin OF
some modern heresies by the false ar
rangement of the books Of the Old Tesla
ment in the authorized and revised YER
sions He pleads for the adoption OF the
old Hebrew division, which had historical
value-that is, first the law, then the
prophets, and then the sacred writings
He claims that the Jewish arrangement
throws light both on the method OF COM
position Of the Old Testament and also,
incidentally, on the comparative date or
the books which compose II. DR.. Peters
suggestion is a happy one, but II Will
hardly be adopted by churches 10 whom
the English version OF the Old Testament
is more sacred than the Hebrew original.

POWER IN PRAYER.
Phillips Brooks Definition OF True
Prayer.


All Of Gods mighty men and women
have been mighty in prayer. When Mar
tin Luther was in the mid-valley Of his.
conflict with the Man Of Sin he used to
say that he could not get on without
three hours a day in prayer. Charles g.
Finney's grip on God gave him a ire
mendous grip on sinners hearts. The
greatest preacher of our times-Spurgeon
had pre-eminently the gift Of the
krees"; the last prayer / ever heard him
utter (at his own family Worship was
one Of the most wonderful that ever
listened to; IL revealed the hiding OF his
power.
Genuine prayer Is a believing souls d.
rect converse with God. Phillips Brooks
has condensed it into four words-a true
wish sent Godward." BY IL alteration.
confession Of sin and petition for mercies
aud gifts ascend 10 the throne and by
means Of 40 infinite blessings are brought
down from Heaven. The pull Of our
prayer may not move the Everlasting
Throne. but-like the pull on a line from
the bow Of a boat-it may draw us into
closer fellowship with God and fuller
harmony with his wise and holy will
Delight thyself in the Lord, and he
shall give thee the desires of thy heart"
great many prayers are born Of selfish
ness. and are too much like dictation or
demand None Of Gods promises are I'M
conditional and we have no such assets
% our credit that we have a right to draw
our checks and demand that God shall
pay them. The indispensable quality OF
an right asking is right spirit toward
our Heavenly Father. When soul feels
such an entire submissiveness toward
God that II delights in seeing him reign
and his glory advanced. IL may fearlessly
pour out its desires; for then the desires
% God and the desires Of that sincere
Submissive soul will agree. God loves to
give 20 them who love 10 let him have his
