 4 WRONG USE OF PRAYER

There is short paragraph in the life of one of the saintliest of time, which illustrates my argu- ment. In of his letters written in manhood, he writes: "once I recolect was taken up with nine other boys at school to be punished, and prayed to escape the shame The master previous to flogging all the others said me- the great bewilderment of the whole school, Little boy, l excuse you; have particular reason for it. That incident settled my mind for long time; only doubt whether it did me any good, for prayer became charm. knew carried about a tailsman which would me from all harm. 1t did make better; it simply gave me security" That was what the ark did for the Israetes, Is that all that prayer does for us composing our fears but not affecting morals giving us a of security, but not delivering us from our sin? If the exercise has been thus debased it will betray when need it most; refuge will fail us when stand at last in the presence of the pure and holy God. Don't let prayer as spell to shield our bodies; use it to purify
