To the Prayer Editor
Of The Times Dispatch:

Prayer IS seeking Gods viii. a
distinguished writer has said. When
God made the universe He created a
place for prayer" our Saviour prayed
and teaches us 10 pray.
Elias was man subject 10 like
passions as We are, and he prayed
earnestly that it might not rain, and
IT ra!ned not on the earth by the space
Of three years and six months. And
he prayed again, and the heavens gave
rain and the earth brought forth her
fruit" James Stills.
HeZek!ah prayer unto the Lord.
Thus saith the Lord, will add unto
thy days fifteen years. Behold I Will
bring again the shadow OF the degrees
which IS gone down in the sun-dial
OF Ahaz ten degrees backward SO the
sun returned ten degrees, etc" Isaiah
IS J. 2. 5. S.
OF our Saviour II. is said, as lie

was altered and His raimcnt became
Every converted man is himself an
answered prayer
Every Christian is miracle
