PRESIDENT BARRows ON PRAYER.
TAKES THE GERMAN EAPERoR's SERMON AS
HIS THEME.

The Rev. DR.. John Henry Barrows. president OF
Oberlin College, preached yesterday morning at
the Fifth Avenue Collegiate Church Prayer.
the Christians Secret of Power" Dr. Barrows be-
gan by referring TO the sermon recently preached
by the German Emperor on the value of interces-
sion with God in the hour OF battle In this ser
mon" said Dr. Barrows. which brought the sub
ject OF prayer before the entire Christian world,
the Emperor truthfully said that prayer Is the
golden key TO the treasure chamber Of our God.
These words well express my theme this morning.
right understanding Of this great and vital sub
ject is the key the growth and victory OF the
Church and other subject is fitting our
needs take up the more active responsible
ties Of the Christian life"
DR. Barrows contended that truth alone was not
sufficient TO energze the Christian life. The truth
might be preached TO a congregation from years
end TO years end, and ably, too and really
move the people It only when they were
deeply moved through prayer that great results
achieved. such the Wesleyan movement
in England and the great awakening in the time
OF Jonathan Edwards.
Prayer is primarily petition" added DIT. Bur
rows, There are other elements-thanksgiving
will, and always communion with God-but it is
for something and It is the element Of petition
which sceptics always attack A living God has
not been taken out OF the world by the doctrine
that law is everywhere. God Himself Is every
where vital and throbbing. in all things, and His
will is expressed in every law that has dis
covered and that God Himself has revealed And
among the chief laws that He has disclosed IS the
law Of prayer. namely. that He has ordained GER
tain results shall follow the petitions OF HIS chill
dren which would not otherwise have occurred"
