When men begin their prayers with

Think OF a man in his family, hurried

strain! He has a note coming due,
and 1t is going to be paid to-day, and
he feels buoyant; and he goes down
on his knees like cricket on the
hearth and piles up these majestically
moving phrases about God Then he
goes on to say that he is a sinner; he
is proud to say that he is a sinner.
Then he asks for his daily bread Ho

when he has Il. Then he jumps up
and goes over to the city. He comes
back at night and goes through a
