Covenanters! The sighs, the groans, the inarticulate cries of suffering men, whom tyrants have buried alive in dungeons, whom the world may forget, but God never! If some angel, catching them as they were uttered, should drop them down from heaven, what a liturgy they would make! Can any epic equal those unwritten words which pour into the ear of God out of the heart’s fulness? But these prayers have been deeds. In the words of James (5 :16, R. V .) they have availed much in their working. An energy passes from the holy soul, striving might ily in prayer, which becomes a working force in the universe, an. indestructible unit of power, not apart from God, but in union with His own mighty energies, of whom, and. through whom, and to whom are all things. Let us pray more, especially as life advances. Let us seek to be enrolled among those who call upon His name. Let us so live that men may shelter them selves in the thought of our intercessions, as Saul in those o f Samuel. “More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.” —o— March 18— “I w ill counsel thee with mine eye upon thee’’ (Psa. 32:8, R. V .). It is as if He said, “I will keep Mine eye upon you, if you are only willing and obedient, so as to stop you from taking a wrong turn or a false step in the road. Mine eye shall be upon you when tried or tempted or perplexed; when the path takes you down into deep, dark valleys, or up long, steep hills, or across the burn ing desert; through the encampments of the foe. Mine eye shall be upon you al ways. “You may not be able always to be thinking of Me, but I shall be always thinking of you; and when I am wanted, I shall be there.”—Ara. William Hough ton. I walk with the King, Hallelujah! I walk with the King, praise His name! No longer I roam, my soul faces Home, I walk and I talk with my King. —o— March 19— “Simon, . . . I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not” (Luke 22:31, 32). Persevering faith! “That thy faith fail not” ! Jesus prayed for Peter, and He prays for us, that we may go on and
grace. It is only when we are IN grace that we can grow and increase with the increase o f God (Col. 2:19).— Hugh Mc Kay. — o— March 17— “ God. forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you” (1 Sam. 12:23). Though Samuel’s career was an ar duous one, it must have been fraught with the elements of true blessedness. He was preeminently a man of prayer. This was his perpetual resort. Whether for his people or his king, for the overthrow of the Philistines or the recovery o f Saul from his evil courses, he never ceased to pray—he would have counted it a sin if he had.” God forbid,” he exclaimed on one memorable occasion, “that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you.” Many a sleepless night did he spend in tears and prayers for the king whom he had set up, and to whose hands he had committed the national interests as a precious charge (1 Sam. 15:11, 35; 16:1). It has yet to be seen, and probably we shall never know until the veil of eternity is lifted, whether the world has benefited most by our prayers or labors. It is more than likely that the men and women who have poured out perpetual supplications and intercessions have, .like Epaphras, wrought most effectively. These have re sembled mighty mountains, commencing with the skies, down whose slopes the perennial streams have poured, wreathed in rainbow vapor, and carrying the qual ity of the mountain soil into the plains. All books, says an eloquent writer, are dry and tame compared with the great unwritten book prayed in the closet. The prayers of exiles! The prayers of mar tyrs ! The prayers o f missionaries! The prayers of Waldenses! The prayers of the Greeting Cards For A ll Occasions KEEP IN TOUCH With your sick, sorrowing or shut-in friends with suitable Greeting Cards.
