SEEN AND HEARD.

The most modern petition is by Mrs.
John B. Smith of Sharon, Conn. who
goes coasting down a column in the
Christian Herald. praying as follows:
o, Lord, I come to Thee in prayer once
more.
But pardon that I do not kneel be-
fore
Thy gracious presence, for my knees
are sore
With so much walking. In my chair
instead
I'll sit at ease and humbly bow my
head.
I've labored in Thy vineyard. Thou
dost know:
I've sold ten tickets to the minstrel
show:
I've called on fifteen strangers in our
town,
Their contribution to our church put
down:
I've baked pot of beans for Wednes-
days spree:
Gan old-time supper it is going to be- /;
I've dressed three dolls, too, for our
annual fair,
And made a cake, which we must raf-
Now, with Thy boundless wisdom so
sublime.
Thou knowest that these duties all take
time.
I have no time to fight my spirits foes;
have no time to mend my husbands
clothes:
My children roam the street from morn
till night.
I have no time to teach them to do
right:
But Thou. o Lord, considering my
cares,
VIII count them Righteousness and
heed my prayers.
Bless the bean supper and the minstrel
show.
And put Il in the hearts of all to go.
Induce all visitors to patronize
The men who in our programme ad-
vertise.
Because I've chased those merchants
till they hid
When eer they saw me comng-yes,
they did.
Increase the contributions to our fair;
And bless the people who assemble
there.
Bless Thou the grab-bag. and the
gypsy tent.
The flower table and the cake that's
sent:
May our whist club be to Thy service
blest:
Our dancing party gayer than the
rest;
And when Thou has bestowed these
blessings-then
We pray that Thou wilt bless our souls.
Amen!

ours and evenings which follow.

hours and evenings which follow.
With children we often see the same
sore of difficult decision come in hours
Of perplexity, when aged or suffering
parents lean hard and live chiefly from
their young vigor. Unless some one
older than themselves, who has seen
strong buoyant natures dwindle into
half-developed, isolated mental condi-
tons, can happily show them that
God never intended any of us to set
such limits to our duty, but meant us
to strengthen one another on the way
by drinking freely at the great foun-
tains which quicken human sympathies
and enlarge human resource, there will
come time-surely it will come-when
the call will be in vain, and the young
and the old life win alike be silent and
responseless.
A large heart needs a full stream Of
strong blood to keep up its unceasing
rhythmical throb-a fertile mind must
have opportunity to bring forth its
quick, questioning thoughts to the
light and receive from the wondrous
storehouse of Gods quickening power
some satisfying knowledge, or its
vehemence will turn upon itself and
consume the unnurtured intelligence
and leave only an arid desert place
behind.
The lesson of the silent bell is SIM
pie to childishness, but it is very real.
Our best usefulness-the power to be
prop and staff and song of joy in our
homes-comes from the storage of those
vital generating forces which are ready
to answer to loves Call.
