prayerless mao Is, of necesi and the very nature of tbloga, an religious man. The soul that does Uod, tbe soul that does bend tba knee to Uod In prayer la v religion. We do not meat long prayer lu public or even | 0 family worship, but tbe mao who never prays n never have religion or know God. “Prayer le a more fundamental tblog than possibly you have thought. Sometimes we get a notion that about all prayer amounts to la to aak Uod for a good si toe of beefsteak or a good wl ter coat mod a good-sized pile of coal the cellar. It may Include there; but prayer assumes some grand facts, and the first grand fact It asanmea Is th« personality of Uod. prayer from one who worships and believes nature to be Ood, aod Uod bo nature, simply returns to eelf. for ewe not part of oatoreT .It may sound quite poetical, but It lajmly g poetical address to the outside world, Ilka William Tail's 'yecrega and peaks, ” ' ' yon once again.’ Such may relieve excited feeling, but the crags and peaks bad.llttle to a*y In retorn. At belsm has no Ood—hence, no pn and tbe converse la also true

prayer, no Uod.

•God must be a person to whot can say, -thou Father,' who ean aay to tu, 'my child.’ Uod cannot be simply unknown force, or for the moral order of the universe, for. If that be true, wa are shut out to all but self, and jfreyer becomes 'irrational and Impossible.' 'Again, prayer assumes that the government of Uod extends over the mlnda of men, over their though feelings and volitions, that the heart In Bl* hands and that Ha can turn even as the rivers of water are turned. "The Christian Ood has revealed Himrelf as tlie hearer of prayer and not as a mere Inlellltrence and power. He Is love. He feels as well as thinks. Llkeasa father pltleth his children, so tbe Isold pltleth them that fear Him. He Is foil of tenderness, compassion, loug-sufierlng and baneVolenee. and to deny thla Just because scleuce or others cannot tell 'how'

Is utter folly.

•If the accustomed time for prayer nes around, and we pray Ju> cause we have prayed and » afraid to omit It breaure of superstl. 1 Hon, we had better Just tell Ortd'so* '"' 'T' rather than try to kill time with empty i *ords. It la better not to prsy than ter 1 ,0 P«y and not be sincere and honest
