answer all these prayers-except in the
reflex power for good which all prayer
has upon honest petitioners to the throne

of prayer is not TO change the mind of

The only legitimate prayer in politics

viz: Let there be two sick wards in
hospital, and let prayer be offered for
one ward while the other ward is omit
ted ut the honr of deyotions Would ii
make any difference in the recovery OF
the patients in either ward? All such
tests are but peryersions of prayer from
its high purpose.

spirit OF the Lords prayer: Thy king

as advocating an agnostic position upon
prayer and politics. Napoleon believed
God favored the strongest battalions and
heaviest artillery in war. yet who will
not say that the Boer patriots have not
been inspired to persevering heroism by
their deep righteousness. Who will say
that prayer did not help such men AS
Gen. Lee and "Stonewall' Jackson de-
fend the lost cause" with mistaken
but heroic zeal?
To be sure political contests are def
nitely decided by votes and not by pray
er. Yet when men have faith enough and
zeal enough to pray for cause they will
the more earnestly work for its triumph
