Glens Falls, N.Y.. June 27.â€"Pastor Russell, of Brooklyn Tabernacle. preached to large audiences here to- day on two occasions. We report ms discourse on prayer from the text. “Behold, he prayeth.” (Acts ix. 11) as follows: The thoughtless utterance of for- malistic petition is not prayer. even though it be so called. The poet ex- presses the truth on the subject in the wordsâ€" “Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire. Uttered or uneigpressed.” . Sume of our Lord's most severe criticisms of the formalistic piety of his day condemned those prayers which were offered in public places to be scan or heard of men. to be considered pious. His curt criticism of such prayers was, “Verily, I say unto you, they have their reward.” They were in reality praying to men, seeking for human approbation. They got the reward they sought, in that many were deceived and thought them holy, pious. But while men might be deceived with such out- ward pretensions, God looketh upon the heart, and accepteth only the toul’s sincere desires. “The Father seeketh such to worship him as wor- ship him in spirit and in trut ” (John iv, 24). ' - .n v ,1!“ Our text is a part of the Lord’s message to Ananias when directing him to Saul of Tarsus. The latter had been a persecutor of the Church, an injurious person, honest at heart, but misguided and prejudiced. Saul had sought to do God service by opposing the Church of Christ. Fol- lowing the lead of his elders, the Scribes and Pharisees of Judaism, he had allowed prejudice' to make of him a foe to Christ, and an opponent of all those who sought to walk in his ways. The Lord had allowed him to proceed to a considerable ex- tent in his persecutions of the Church. The Lord wished a certain amount of persecution .to come against his cause, and permitted an honest-hearted man to' go to consider- able length in his opposition. The intention of this was to accomplish the scattering of the Church, that the believers, going everywhere, might proclaim the Gospel; that Saul him- self might feel humiliated and for- ever afterward be on guard against a persecuting spirit and against the danger of being deceived «respecting the Lord’s will. When the due time came he was smitten with what he describes to have been a glance of the Redeemer’s face, while on his way to further persecute the Church at Damascus. _.., Ag (Ll; Uweuuvuv. The flash, above the brightness of the sun at noonday, worked serious injury to Saul’s eyesight, completely blinding him. Led by the hand, he was entertained in Damascus at the house of one called Judas. He re- cognized the source of his affliction. The Lord had reproved him for his persecution, saying, Why persecutest thou me? Saul inquired, Who art thou, Lord? And the response was, “I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest” -â€"because persecuting a member of the Body of Christ is persecuting the Head of the Church. After re ' Damascus, Sa 1 evidentlyjcontinu ' _' ~ Aka; ‘gn‘ and proved that he had been serving God, but not according to knowledge; that he had been a persecptor. and an finally come to the proper sttitnde of heart. and as a congequenqe “‘9 of all; no longer the sou-confident one. boastful of his phariseeism, his holi- .his tithes, and his get-vice of A- ALA $33011; but, humbled a me dust. ha but come to nulixe tint Ighitho tygnght he did service to “ ""‘~3- “.‘fli “Behold, He Prayeth” Pastor Russell Speaks on the Sudject of Praye: . While it is true that good man :have prayed. and in spite of their prayers have made mistakes. it has ldoubtless generally been true that the mistakes made by religious peo- ple have been along the lines of too great confidence in themselvesâ€"too much self-assurance in respect to the teachings of the Bible. too much sell confidence as respects their service of the truth. And when good men have made mistakes alter praying for Divine wisdom. it is not only poe sible but probable that their prayer: were only partially sincere: that when they prayed to the Lord. "Thy will be done on earth as in heaven." they sometimes meant. Approve my will on earth as I approve your will ‘n heavenâ€"~“deceiving themselves.” Let us all be on guard against any such self-deception. Let us remem- lher the Master’s words. "Blessed are the pure in heart." Let us rememo her that to be pure-hearted means its be sincere. and to utter nothing which we do not mean. Let us learn the King of mm, pe was an tune: a servant of the Ev11 One. 3n injuri- ous pgrsoy. _ ALAA __-j __ _ ‘V ‘IJVII 1“! “v -.v‘ -_ to search our beaks, as the Scrip- tures suggest,to scrutinize our words, 091' thoughtg, our conduct with a vnew to notmg to _wha.t ex_tent self- will, or our own plans and arrange- ments, are influencing us, and to what extent. we are sincere in de- siring to know and to do the Lord’s will. n a.-. Most of you probably have heard the'story of early frontier life, in‘ which two travelers were obliged to seek shelter in a mountain home, in a locality which they had been warned was dangerous, especially as they had money. Only the necessity of the occasion forced them to seek the shelter. They purposed keeping guard throughout the night, the one sleeping while the other watched in turn, fearing they would be robbed. possibly murdered. ,However, just as they had reached this conclusion, one of them noticed a crack in the door, and peering through it beheld the uncouth householder on his knees in prayer. He explained the situation to his companion, and they both realized their safety and went to sleep in peace. There is a principle involved in this matter a! prayer. The heart which seeks fellowship with its Crea- tor seeks the loftiest companionship. one which will be sure to lead him more and more out of willful sin and depravity. Those who have no fellowship with God cannot keep up for long a prayer of formality in secret. There must be a motive, either to be seen of men or to be heard of God, otherwise there wouldi be no prayer. Whoever seeks his Creator in pray- er is proportionately amenable at heart to righteous influences. Who- ever has no appreciation of prayer thereby shows that proportionately he is estranged from his Creatorâ€" out of fellowship with him.‘ And while such may at times, or perhaps for a considerable time, be outward- ly moral and honest, we may be sure that their estrangement from God might at any. time lead off in sin. They are ofi the. path of divine fel- lowship, and on the path of careless- ness and worldliness, which may at any moment lead 65 into the ways of unrighjeousness. 1' I ,1, I“? -A St. Paul exhorts the church, “Let us come boldly (courageously) to the throne of heavenly grace, that we may obtain mercy. and find grace to help in every time of need” (He- brews iv, 16). He is not addressing the world, but the household at faith, as indicated by the word “as.” The picture he brings before our minds ix that of the Tabernacle and the priests conducting the service. He points out that our Lord Jesus as the great anti-typical High Priest has made an atonement for the sins of all believers, and that therefore be- lievers who have turned from sin may come to the heavenly Father courageouslyâ€"not in fear. nothing doubting. They‘may come even when they realise their imperfection and natural blemishes; when they realise they have fallen short of the Lord's standard. and of their own _ stand- Emu. out: v. unw- -.... _-_..._ ads; they may recline that it is a throne of grace, of mercy, of favor, where they {nay drop thy bt‘uzdgn of their imperfections and obtain a blessing, and bear a. song away. The world cannot come to this throne of‘graee. because still in sin; because they have not yet turned backs upon sin; because they have not yet accepted Christ as their Reâ€" deemer, their Saviour. end because. therefore, he is not their ' Priest.

Surely this is true. as every de- vel Christian must know. Hence. the ‘thfnl approach the throne of grace with counts. not only when the have trespasses to copies; and spa oges to make, and iorgiveness to ask; at also as they think of the trials, temptations and dimculties along the way. and of the day. They learn to seek fortification against sin. against their own weaknesses, a ainst the encroachments of the worl , the flesh and the Adversa . The obtain these blessings by t eir felowahip with the Lord. It lifts their hearts alization of the Father’s love and care. It reminds than repeatedly of their call of the Lord to be his dis- ciples, and of the terms and condiâ€" tions upon which they are accepted. It brings before them repeatedly the glorious standard above all standards â€"the Divine. It reminds them of the Saviour’s words. “Be ye like unto your Father which is in heaven, who is kind to the evil and the good, and extends his mercies to the just and the unjust.” It reminds them afresh that they should pray, “Forgive us our trespasees as Wt forgive those who trespass against us," and thus it tends to make their hearts and minds more tender, more gentle, more for- giving toward all with whom they have to do. We have seen who may and who may not pray, according to the limi tations of the Lord’s Word; that m one is invited to pray except the peni- tent who turns from sin and accepts of Christ.

Rorintliral answer to the Christians would answer. Yes, they should Specially pray for these; but if we find the Scriptural answer to the query, it is, No. Our Lord's words in his prayer to the. Father on the same night in which he was betrayed were. “I pray not. for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me" (John xvii, 9). Our Lord was the great exemplar for all of his followers, who are exhorted to walk in his footsteps. If he prayed not 'for the world, nei- ther should we. ‘-- - -.I',n VI..- But what is the philosophy of this? Did not Jesus love the world? Yes. verily, he so loved the world as to die for us while we were yet_si?nr_xers. Why, then, did he not pray for those whom he loved and for whom he died? We answer, because it is not the Di- vine Plan to save people by praying fior them, but, as the Apostle declar. ed, It pleased God that' through the preaching ofjthe Cross of Christ be- Iievers should be saved, though this course may seem foolish to the world- 1y. God has made a great plan of salvation, which eventual] will reach the whole world of man ' dâ€"every creature. He doa not need, therefore, that either our Lord Jesus or we should pray for the world, for he has every arrangement made on their be half that Love and Justice could pro- vide. The time for blessing the world has not yet come. The present is the time for blessing the Church, believers who are now being called out of the worldâ€"to sepa- rate themselves as God’s peculiarpeo- pie. It_ was for these that Jesus prlay; ylc. av woo av. -.-vâ€"‘. -..â€"- vs __ t _ ed, and for these, therefore, we, fol- lowing his example, should pray. Their amictions are his amictions. and hence our afflictions, because if one member of the Body of Christ sufler, all the other members suffer with it. Hence, as the Apostle says. we should pray one for the other. as well as labor to assist each other. and to build one another up in the most holy faith, for this is the will of God. This is the plan of Godâ€"that du ' the present age the Elect class shoul be called and tested and chos- en. in order that in the next age they with Christ in his Millennial Kin? dom may be the divine agency for the blessing of all the fatalities of the Why should we not pray for the conversion of our families, and neigh- bors and friends?
