If one child were to he smitten down with fever each morning that you neglected prayer. how then?’ " Till, then we would have it.’ ' ‘j'And it' there was a law that you should be fined three shillings if you did not meet for prayer, would you find time to '1' it i" u ."Ps.’ " ‘Xnd it‘ thm-o wore five pounds given to all who had family pi-ayor. would you not by some means arrange to have it?’ .. .‘.0S., - "Amt so tho inquii-or wont on with many questions. and wound up with this: ‘1‘th it is but. an idlo excuse when you, who pi-ofoss to ho sorvants of God. say that you have no time "1‘ mmortnnity for family prayer)” 'l‘lll-IRE IS .\.\'H’l‘HER lNDltlA’l‘Ifm OF NEW LIFE IN THE Himlu community. .\ missionary at work in Dacca, in Bengal, was stirred to start. a purity work among students.
