without AFFECTING his nervous system
and through the nervous system his

Psychology has done much to vindi-
cate the reasonableness of prayer by
co-ordinating it with other familiar
Phenomena of our mental life. For
example. some of the workings of
prayer are analogous to the results
brought about by suggestions and self
suggestion. A man. let Us suppose,
prays, and invites others to pray for
MIN, that he may have strength to
overcome : the craving for alcohol
Ihese petitions act as powerful sug-
gestlons which, if they are continued
long enough and assuming that there
is no serious lesion of the brain, will
accomplish the desired result. We
know, too, that prayer under certain
conditions has in cases of sickness a
therapeutic efficacy. The lives of
great religious personalities, such as
Augustine, Francis of Assist and
Luther, and the growth of faith heal
ing and prayer healing cults in our
own time offer such abundant proof
that only ignorance and prejudice can
any longer affect to doubt the reality
or the alleged phenomena.-Rev. Sam

SENTENCE SERMONS.

The noblest duty is the nearest one.
None ever regretted burying a SLAM
der.
The outcome of ingrowing piety is
pain for every one.
1t takes more than public generosity
to correct private greed.
Sldestepping duty will give you plen-
ty of exercise, but no strength.
No one gets far in loves lessons
without learning to hate heartily
When a man is good because it pays
he may be judged by his motives.
Explaining the commander ents is q
common way of evading them.
The sins that are proud of being lit
tie are worth a lot Of pains to kill.
Do your duty and your spirit of de-
votion will develop itself all right.
Almost any kind of iniquity will
hide under the alias Of conscientious
ness.
Some men think they are almost

very bad
No church ever lost by love for the
weak sinner and a lash for the strong
one. 81
Counterfeit tickets to heaven are

other route.
Some have hard work getting any
religion out Of their hearts because
so much was once forced down their
throats.

The pious man will not pray for a
violation or suspension of any of those
fixed expressions of the divine will
which we call 1.-The laws of nature" A
true instinct warns US not to pray that
the law of gravitation may cease to
operate when we pass by. nor to pray
that the moon should fail to attract
the tides, nor to ask that the buried
dead should rise from their graves.
Prayers for changes in the weather
held their ground much longer than
other discriminating forms of petition
