Democratic Sentinel, Volume 12, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 November 1888 — Two Requests. [ARTICLE]

Two Requests.

Confession of inability could not go further than in the prayer of a good brother more used to dry-goods than leading camp-meeting: “O Lord, we are as w eak—as weak as No. GO basting thread!” Nor does the Drawer believe there was any insincerity in the request of the colored boy who, when his turn came to lead the prayer-meeting, observed, “O Lord, I pray Thee make Thy servant conspicuous.”— Editor's Drawer, in Harper's Magazine.
