Crying-Lîstening- ln' its most primitive form prayer is doubtless a cry for belp-just a cry. Let me illustrate. Suppose, a chi1.d las beeni warned by b is;.father flot to do:a certain tbing. Suppose the ichild disregaïds thiswarning and gets in- to a predicament from wýhich he caii- flot'free himfself, bis first impulse iF to cry* for help. It may be-just, a cry a ry addressed to no one in particu lar; or, it may'be a cry to bis father tbe very person wbose wahning bW cisobeyed. In otber words wben tbe child becomes aware that be is ir troub)le, when be feels 'or fears hc cannôt get out unaided, bis first: ii pulse is to cry for help. So it Is with us, children of a làrgei growth; when we find ourselves in diffi- culty and see no wfly of extrirating our- selves, we cry for help. This ls illu,. trated a number of times in the one bundred and seventh Psalm. You may remember the Psainiist's description ol the wanderers in the wilderness: "Hungry and thirsty, their soul falnted in them. Then they crielj unto the Lord in their trouble." Also bis description o the sailors in a storm: -They reel tc and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. Ther. they cry unto the Lord in their trouble.' 1Is flot this all tOo freqjiently the case, that men pray oniX wheni tbey are driv en to it by fear? Men who, wben theli affairs are runnhrng àmoothly, wheni their business . jafiourishing, when thell healt'h is good, attribute their successes to tbemselves &and rarely acknowlëdgi- the presence of a hlgher power ; wlien reverses come, when courage fails, whér theyý are "at their wit's end. Then tbey cry unto the Lord." This bas ever beei! the experience of humnanity: that re- verses. troubles, distresses, and -misfoàr-. tunes which shake men out of the rut!s or habits of living and back to :their native impulses almost invariably drive nmen to prayer of some sort. Such beiiw the case, prayer miust be rega.rded A.ý one of the native impulses of humanity, and as sucb is more primitive than the most primitive creed; because, you see;> the creed onlY attempts to forynulate oi explain what, prayer instinctively as- sues.r I i7 at the Stevens s hbotel, accordinig s ~to Henry G.
