/ Peter third chapter seveHth verse:
"That your progress be not Kindred"
He proceeded to show the various
reasons why tho prayers Of tho people
weIe not answered, md the first was
that many were not addressed to tho
right person. We have explicit dircc'
tons in tho Word how, when aud who
TO pray to, but in spite OF this many
pray to gods OF their own making, or 10
those who haye no power 70 answer,
and no referred to the report OF
prayer ho once read, when the reporter
said, "The prayer of tho chaplain foil
with telling effect upon the assembly
to which 1t was ouored."
