THE PRAYER OF FA IT H.
C. V. LA FONTAINE.
The pra)'er of faith is a specific
prayer for a special purpose. It is dif-
f er ent from the pray saving faith,
for one may p1ay with saving fai t h and
not offer the prayer spoken of lJ)r"James
as t he .prayer of f aith. H e was writing
there under inspired instructions for
miraculous r esults. The prayP.r of faith
prevai ls with God and hrings things to
pass, as Elijah did on Carmel. Such a
prayer is always inspired in a believer
the Holy Spiiit, ''for we know not
what t o pray for as ' "e ought, hut the

shall have their part in the lake which
bnrneth with fire and brimstone; which
is the second death." M:otivity, we
g1ant, may have somewhat to do with
the heinousness of the falsehood,. but
carelessness in reference to ascertain-
ing as to the is no excuse for . the .
lie. Let those who profess to be Chris-

iniquity," which certainly includes
falsehood against a fellowman. . If

A CONFESSION.
I ordinarily pay no attention to the
multitude of falsehoods which are iUs-
seminated against me and the work to
which the Lord has called me, kn< .. nying
that the Lord is ti.1lly able t<;> take care
of His own work. But there are some
things which it may be best tv take
tinre to tell the truth itr reference to.

MY FAI'rHFULNESS.
As among the minist ry; so among
lay members there must be
and fidelity. Fideli ty to God, keeping
the holy fire burning. Evory layman
should seek to so touch God that out
of his heart should flow rivers of li ving
water. Fai t hful to the mP-ans of g1a:,
no attraction, no . sense of curiosity
Rl10uld 1eau him to . diseonritgc his pas-
tor, dispirit ltis brethren, and mnke
himself a weakness by his absence ftotn
t he hoitse of the Lord. No member of
t he modern tribe of Gad is any rcal
value to the. chnreh he professes to hr
a. member of (not belong to). But he
says, "0, I wanted io hear such a one,"
etc. Yes, ai1d to satisfy his cnriosit_v
he deserted his company in the hour of
hattle. No soldier would find excu:se
nor pardon for absence ft'om his pla<e
in the. ranks because, forsooth, he
wa-nted to see- sot'ne . sight, or even ob-
serve some battle. To be a good lay-.
man there must be such a passionate
desire to glorify God by pushing th'b
work, that being in the house of God'
and at the .appointed pliLCe of prayet'.
that no curiosity could for a. mom< ut

of Gabriel or anl great man. That it
is the place wlJere the Lord has ar-
ranged for- him to be, 'to meet himself,
is the greatest of motives and attrac-

"THROUGH THE VALLEY,"
lVIa.tthew Henry gives us s.ome cheer-
ing thoughts on "The Valley of the
Shadow of Death." . '
He sa.ys: "Here is one word, indeed,
whic.h sounds terrible-it is, death,
which :we must all count upon; there
is no discharge in that war. But, even
in the supposition of the distress, there
are four words which lessen the terror.
n. It is but the shadow of death;
there is no substantial evil in it. 'l'he
shadow of a se1;pent will not sting, nor
the shadow of a sword kill.
'' 2. It i s the vaHey of the shadow ;
deep, indeed, and dark. and dirty ; hut
the ' ' alleys are fruitful, and so death
itself is fruitful , of comforts to God's
people.
'' 3. It is but a :walk in this valley.
a gentle. pleasant walk. The wicked
are chased out of the world, and their
sou1s are r equired, but the saints take
a walk to another world as cheerfully
as tlH:y take -'their leave of this.
"4. It is a walk thiough it ; the:v
shall not be. lost in the valley, but get
safe to the .. monntaiu of spices on the
other side of it. ''
with such saintly _experiences, in t.he
last hour, no wonder many, as they
-entered the valley;_ have asked: "Can
this be .dying 1 If so, it is blissful dy-
ing!'' Indeed, it is rather being t r ans-
lated than dying ..

come to a standstill when a gieat
bearded giant of lt man; fully fifty
years. of age, hurried into the ear.
''Jimmy!'' cried out the old man
eagerly . . "Heie I am, ,Jimmy."
''Father!'' cried the son, and hc'.took
the little old man right into his arms
and lnigged him, while the tears stoocl

A stout, plainly clad, middle-aged
appeared at the car door and
cried out, '' Father!' '
Then she turned and called to some-
one .. 01i the platform, "Her e he is!
Here is father . "
''Nellie, my girl!'' said the' old nian ..
The son and daughter had an arm
around the father as he left the ear.
