A PRAYER FOR A BLESSING. (Suggested by Modern Church Methods.) O Lord, I come to thee in prayer once more, But pardon if I do not kneel befoie Thy gracious presence, for my knees are sore With so much walking. In my chair instead I’ll sit at ease and humbly bow my head. I've labored in thy vineyard, Thou dost know; I've sold ten tickets for the minstrel show; I’ve called on fifteen strangers in our town, Their contributions to our Church put flown. I've baked a pot of beans for Saturday’s spree; An old-time supper it is going to be. I've dressed three dolls, too, for our annual fair, And made a cake which we must raffle there. Now, with Thy boundless wisdom, so sublime, Thou knowest that these duties all take tjme; I have to fight my spirit’s foes, I have no time to mend my husband’s clothes. My children roam the streets from morn till night, I have no time to teach them what is right, But thou, O Lord, considering all my

cares. Wilt count them righteous and wilt heed my prayers. Bless the bean supper and the minstrel show, And put it in the hearts of all to go. Induce the visitors to patronize The men who in our program advertise. Because I’ve chased these merchants till they hid Whene’er they saw me coming—yes they did! . Increase the contributions to our fair And bless the people who assemble there. Bless thou the grab-bag and the , gypsy tent, The flower table and the cake that’s sent. ; May our whist club be to Thy service blest, Our dancing party gayer than the rest. And when Thou hast bestowed these blessings, then We pray that Thou wilt bless our souls. Amen. —The Churchman. C. R. Kluger, the Jeweler, 1060 Virginia Ave., Indianapolis, Ind„ writes: “I was so weak from kidney trouble that I could hardly walk a hundred feet. Four bottles of Foley’s Kidney Remedy cleared my complexion, cured my backache and the irregularities disappeared, and I can now attend to business every day and recommend Foley’s Kidney Remedy to all Sufferers, as it cured me after the doctors and other remedies had failed."
