When You Say Your Prayers.

In the Temple church (near the Lawcourt) In London, on the Sunday after—our election, the master of the Temple, when he has finished his sermon, paused and said to his astonished congregation that since it appeared to be quite certain that Doctor Wilson had been elected president of the United States, and so seemed certain to be called to take part in the peace negotiations which would befall during the next four years, “I would ask you to pray for hi in for a few moments, that he may have the divine guidance in all that he may do.” Surely that showed a wise spirit in the master of the Temple. Here, now, is Lord-George, chosen to cure the shortcomings of England, to strength- . en her thews and extend -her reach, and help her to win a great peace that will bring new hope to a haltered world. It is a load of Atlas thqt rests pn the little Welshman’s shoulders. Are any of the brethren hereabouts prayerfully inclined? There is their man I-—Life.
