TIIE nim of my present address is to recommend and enjoin fervent praver in private. Indeed mv brethren, the qreat end of mv preaching is accomplished, if I ava ken in your hearts a spirit of earnrst nop plication, and make you a praying peo pie. Unless mvsetmons are blessed w'rh

the HTVct of briri&r-Mg you on your kn-es, r humbling you at the throne of cpa e, and f Ir idin vou to pray ferveniv for spiritual blr5SH:g, I preach in vir nod. ou htar in vain.

D you ask me, what is praver? It is the voire of the needy, to Him who alone can relieve them. It is ?he cry of the sinful, to Hm who alone an pardon them. It is not 1 1 qurncr, but e 'rnestness. !t is not fine words, nor flowioK permds, but it is a derp sense of our Rudt, urging us to approach the Sa viour and to seek pardon, help and salvation, with strong crying? it may be with tears and groaninga which cannot be uttered. Did you ever hear a man that was starving, beg for bread? That was prayer. Did you ever behold the ship wrecked mariner looking wishfully to those on shore, for rescue? That was prayer. The publican prayed, when he said, "Lord, save me or I perish.' The publican prayed when he cried, " be mer 1 1 ful to me a sinner! Pt ter prayed, when hn said God be merciful to me a

Harrimus prayed, when he exclaimed, " Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy

on me:

Stephen prr.yed, when he uttered these words, Lord Jesus, receive mv spirit;" In all these instances the words of pe tition were plain and simple: they could not indf ed be more so: but in each it was real prayer, because it came. from the heart; and therefore was heard and gra eiously answered by Him to whom it was addressed. Hlind Harttmus was restored to sight: Stephen fell asleep in Jesus, in a calm and forgiving spirit. Indeed I know not how sufficiently to represent to you the prevailing efficacy

of 5enuine prayer. It besieges heaven wi;h holy violence, accosting God in the language of the wrestling Patriarch, 'T Will not let thee go except thou will bless me." know that it has stayed the pestilence; that it has caused the sun to stand still in the heavens; that it parted the sea; opened the prison doors; healed the sick and raised the dead to life ag in. No sooner is the Spirit of grace and supplication given from on high, than the stubborn soul is melted, the broken heart is bound up, the sinner changed into the humble saint, and offending man restored to the lost image of his God. Do you ak what is the proper season for prayer? I answer in the apostle's words ikPi ay without ceasing!' I mean pot that you should always be on your knees, or always lifting up your voice to heaven: but that you should constantly cherish a praying spirit, and be ready to frame a prayer from the circumstances about you. Are you blessed with temporal bles

sings, with a comfortable competence, a smiling family, a fair reputation? Pray that these blessings prove not a snare to you, lest they rob God of your heart, and you have your good things upon earth only. Are you tried in youi health, in your circumstances, in your family? Pray that the wdl of God be accomplished in the dispensation, that you may dTs cern the drift of his Providence, may meet it with humble resignation, and reap the blessing. Are you called to under'ike some arduous duiv, or encounter

some serious temptation? Pray that Gods streng'h may be prrtected in your veak oess, that his grace may be suffi lent for vou. that you my come ofF more than . 't.querors, through him that loved you. Ate vou going to the house of G d? P ty that your heart3 may br devoutly d:sp 'sed, that you may enjo God's graeious presence there, and worship hun in truth. Are you leaving the house of G d? P. ay that you may carry home h, I I - s i n . ind that you may evidence in your tempers, and in y ur lives, that y hi have mdred be-n with Jesus." He i; n the day with pnyer? It is the g dd i! k-y th it unlocks heaven to pour d wn b bies-rigs on v.iu. End the day wi h prav-rl It is the same g d len key, that l 'k y oa up under heaven's protection. Pray I r v nor friends that thev may tie in ar am! Jtar to God. Pray for ycur -ntmies that their hearts mav be chan yed, and their souls saved. And wh.n oti have nearest access to a throne of grace, and feel your hearts in a heavenly Irame, pray for your minister, that his ul may prosper and be in health; that G d would teach him that he may teach ohrrs, and become the honored, though humble instrument ot bringing many ;uls to glory.

Dr. Kadcliffe could never be bro:t to pay bills without much importunity. A paver, after long and fruitless attempts, caught him just getting out of his charriot at his own door in Bloomsbury Square, and set upon him: Why, you rascal,' said the doctor, 4do you pretend to be paid for such a piece of work? why, you have spoiled my pavement, and then covered it over with earth to hide your bad work.' 'Doctor,' r.aid the paver, 'mine is not the only bad work that the earth hides.' 'You dog you,' said the doctor, 'are you a wit? you must then be poor, so come in ;' and he paid hirn.
