called to die, save us [which on account of our unworthiness, you may not do, or on account of your forgetfulness you may neglect, and leave us the subject of one of the devil's infernal jokes,] and the praise, and the honor, and the glory, we will ascribe through endless ages to Thee. [A great consideration, which will certainly be some inducement to you to save,--only just think what an advantage such an arrangement will be to you.] All of which we ask for Jesus' sake, Amen." (Newspaper Clipping.) The Boston Man's Prayer. "Oh God, if there be a God, save my soul if I have a soul, from hell if there is a hell, Amen, if it is necessary." Prayer an Echo. 'From the earliest dawn of Nature's birth, Since sorrow and sin first darkened the earth; From sun to sun, from pole to pole, Where'er the waves of Humanity roll, The breezy robe this planet wears Has quivered and echoed with countless prayers. Each hour a million knees are bent, A million prayers to heaven are sent; There's not a summer beam but sees Some humble suppliant on his knees; There's not a breeze that murmurs by But wafts some faithful prayer on high; There's not a woe afflicts our race But someone bears to the Throne of Grace; And for every temptation our souls may meet We ask for grace at the Mercy Seat. * * * * * * * * * * * * The beams smile on, and heaven serene Still bends, as though no prayers had been; And the breezes moan, as still they wave, When man is powerless, heaven cannot save." --Charles Stevenson. Other Worldliness. It seems to some people selfish for one to attempt to live in the personal enjoyment of this world, but to lend all one's energies toward gaining heaven is to them just right. Caring for one's health and family is selfishness, but struggling to save one's soul is the noblest work of life.
