"who Are the Praying ones?"

It is said of Charles G. Finney, the great
evangelist and preacher, that he always in
sisted on the spirit of prayer power to
prevail with God, as absolutely indispens-
able in a successful Christian worker. The
fact was very marked in all the powerful
r~evivals where DIR. Finney labored- Per-
haps not the many were led in this way,
for rs in our day, only the few hidden ones
got down into the deem places with God.
but there were always those who learn the
secret of the Lord as He loves to reveal it
to the willing and OBJ dent: and these Mr..
Finney considered as mos important allies
in carrying on a revival.
His question on entering a place to begin
meetings, was, not who will help in the
preaching, but who are the praying ones.
Has there been a Spit of prayer poured
out upon any in the community? Who
are standing upon the watch tower"
waiting for the visions And If he found
but one or two who reg took hold on
God with conscious power. his heart was
encouraged, and he took up his labors with
renewed energy.

The Hard Life.

There is nothing arbitrary in Gods judes
ment. The way Of the transgressor is hard
because it brings him into conflict with the
worlds true order and his wi appointed
way of growth. Prophet and poet agree
that it is out Of the sinners own transgres-
sions that the penalty grows.
The gods are just and of our pleasant vices
Make whips to scourge US.
Chime own wickedness shall correct
thee and thy backslidings shall reprove
thee; know therefore and see that it is an
evil thing and a bitter that thou has for
is not in thee, saith the Lord of Hosts"
The sinners life is o hard n in its
penalties. He who lows a sin sows a seed
which will spring up and bear fruit after
it's kind. The sowing men call pleasure,
but the harvest all agree is suffering. 1t Is
a hard life to suffer for old sins, and
harder still, says the Congregationalist, to
see others suffer. For no man can sow
in his neighbours fields. To reap the evil
harvest is bad enough. but to see it ripen-
ing in the lives Of those we love is harder
yet. Our increasing knowledge has only
emphasized this certainty of penalty fol
lowing transgression. The warnings of the
Book are continually illustrated in the ex-
periences Of the world.
The transgressors lie Is hard IN Its de-
privation. The question is sometimes raised
whether the sinner does not, after all, get
more out of the world than the true dis
ciple. He who has turned from evil to
live with God never raises that question.
He knows that the earth without peace OF
heart, without JOY in right and sympathy
with good, without the happiness of Gods
presence and delight of service is a hard
and narrow. and unhappy. place. The true
and full inheritance of the earth belongs
to the children of God and to no others.
To be self-deprived of the highest and the
best is to be cheated of what makes our
life worth living.
Far back, also, in every transgressors
consciousness hes the hard trial OF self
contempt. He may not admit it to his
thought. Conscience NAV be ill-educated
and under careful discipline; but in the
| moments when he sees clearly the sinner
| is s~eif-judged. God has let us sit upon the
| seat Of counsel and We see what value we
| have put upon our souls in bartering with
evil.
Still, as of old, -
Man by himself is priced,
For thirty pieces Judas sold
Himself, not Christ.
1t is hard to fear to meet ones own
| thought sitting as the Judge; to dodge and
| shift and evade the quiet hour that brings
self-condemnation. 1t is hard to be, amid
whatever passing joys, without God and
without hope in a world that is so full oil
hope and so bright with the presence Of
our Heavenly Father.

Q 0
= .

There was a cry outside the door.
Jim flung it open roughly and
listened, stick concealed in the hand
behind his back. No step on the
rickety tenement stairs, no derisive
laughter greeted his ear. What was
it? He peered into the semi-twilight
from under his shaggy gray eyebrows.
Again shrill cry, this time from the
corner Of the landing. A kitten in a
bundle of rags! He stopped to pick
it up, two little hands few up, and a
baby cooed in his face.
Old Jim, derisively known as the
"Old Crank" had once been young
and even good-looking; but an acci-
dent in the foundry had settled all
that, and the death of his mother had
left him alone to grow hard and sus-
picious and often irascible from an
aching spine. Hence his one little
room, at the top of the third long
flight of stairs, became his den, from
which he emerged to growl, under
provocation or without, at the numer-
GUS children who swarmed the stairs.
In fact, he had more than once been
heard to say that if more kittens were
kept and more children were
drowned the world would be better
off: whereby he earned the enmity
of the mothers in the tenement. It
was the very irony of fate that
brought the helpless baby to his door.
The innocent babe, delighted to be
held, smiled and cooed and waved
it's aimless hands. Old Jim. poking it
cautiously to see if a note Of explana-
ton was attached-for he had heard
Of such things-was astonished to
have his finger grasped firmly in the
tiny wandering baby fingers. So lit
tie, so soft, and yet so strong the
clasp ran up the old mans arm and
settled around his heart. The baby
gurgled softly. That was enough. The
old man looked cautiously down the
hall to be sure that no one was grin
ming at him, stepped back into his
room and closed the door.
Mrs. Flaherty on the floor below
had five small children and a large
motnerly heart; and it was to her
that Jim went that night, after the
children were all out playing on the
sidewalk, to ask advice on the food
for the baby, and If she would sell
him some clothes
Sell ye some clothes?. Faith, I'd
give 'em to ye gladly, if it wasn't
that Dicks out Of work again. But
you don't mean to kape the poor lit
tie thing, do ye? You bein' away so,
all day."
"How can l tell about that, Mrs.
Flaherty? All I want to know now
