mtdhtimiLPRAYER.

i'Pray without ceasing." 1 Thes

"Prayer was appointed to convey 1 .

The blessings God designs to give;, Long as they live should Christians pray, it

. For only while they pray they live."

. , . .Hart."Prayer is a retirement from earth,

to intend on God, arid hold correspon-dence with him that dwells in heaven.The things of the world, therefore,must be commanded to stand by for aseason and to abide at the foor of themount, while we walk up higher tooffer up our sacrifices as Abraham did,and to meet our God." Waits.

"In every storm that either frowns or falls,-

' What an asylum has the soul in prayer!"- . Young. a"In the absence of the sun, the mild

arid peaceful radiance of the moonenlivens our path. Lei devotions spreda cheering light over your darkesthours. The queen of night saysBowdler, 'unvails its full beauty, whenthe hours of joy and lustre have passedaway, pouring, as it were, a-- holy lightthrough the damps and. darkness ofadversity, llius will constant prayercheer the darkest season of affliction."Bickersteth, .

"The best means of keeping near toGod is the closet. Here the battle iswon orJost." Payson.

"In this valley of sorrow and strifo,Prayer shaU rise with my earliest breath;

. It shall mix in the business of life, ,

And soften the etrtggles of death." '

: Cunningliam. '"As the heart" panteth after ,the

water brooks, so panteth my soul afterthee, Q God. When shall I come andappear before God?"--Davi- d.

"Prayer, is the most secret mter--course of the soul with God? and as itwere, the conversation of one heartwith another," Dr. A. Clarke.

"A little girl about four years of agebeing asked, Vhy do you pray toGod?' replied, 'Because I know hehears me, and I love to pray to him'But how do you know he hears yourPutting the little hand to heart, shesaid, 'I know he does, because there issomething here that tells me so, "Arvme s Cyclopedia.

rrayer is notxeioquence, out earnestness; not the definition of helplessness, but tup feeling of it; notfigures of speech, but compunction ofsoul. Hannah More.

.n - j l x i - i f iare wen, it is xo get nis cunner; n nedon t do so, it is because he cares moreabout the fleece than the flock. If hegoes to the church regularly, it is because he has nothing else to do; if hedon t go, it is because ha has no re

If he makes parties, it is tosoft-soa-p the people to get their money;if he don't make them, he is afraid ofa cent! If his horse is fat, it is becausehe has nothing to do; if he is lean, itis because he isn't taken care of., Ifhe drives fast, it. is to make peoplethink somebody is very sick: if hedrives slow, he has no interest, in thewelfare of his.patientsl If he dressesneat he is proud; jf.he does not,' he iswanting in self-respe-ct. . If he workson the land, he is fit for nothing but afarmer; if he don't work, it is becausehe is too lazy to be anything. If hetalks much, "we don't want a doctorto tell everything he knows;" ifhe don'ttalk, "we like to see a doctor social"If he says anything about politics, hehad better let it alone; it he don t sayanything about it "we like to see aman .show his colors." If he visits hispatients every day,, it is to run up thebill; it he don t, it is unjustifiable neg-ligence. . IS ho says anything about
