Is Tired Of Prayjno,

A little girl in St. Louis the other
evening was going through the usual
form of prayer: God bless mamma,
and papa and make me good girl"
and so on, when all at once she
semed to come to decision. "Now
that is the last time am going to
say that prayer" she said, very grave
ly, looking at her mother. "You are
older than I am and it is your place
to ask for all those things and don't
see any use in two peoples asking
the same thing" Since then she has
firmly refused to pray, insisting that
it is her mothers place to ask God
for blessings.

better still to have the fountain from
whence they emanate. AS the streams
are dependent upon the fountain tor

resulting therefrom are dependent
upon the fountain more than upon the
streams. So the means of grace and
