TO THE

PRAYERFUL AND PRAYERLESS

This Little Book

IS DEDICATED,

WITH THE SINCERE HOPE

THAT THE FORMER MAY FIND IT A COMFORT,

AND THAT BY IT

THE LATTER MAY BECOME ACQUAINTED

WITH JOYS WHICH ΤΟ THEM HAVE HITHERTO

BEEN UNKNOWN.

The salt preserveth the sea, and the saints uphold the earth;

Their prayers are the thousand pillars that prop the canopy of nature.

Prayer is a creature's strength, his very breath and being; Prayer is the golden key that can open the wicket of

mercy;

Prayer is the slender nerve that moveth the muscles of Omnipotence.

Wherefore, pray, O creature, for many and great are thy wants;

Thy minds, thy conscience, and thy being, thy rights commend thee unto prayer;

The cure for all cares, the grand panacea for all pains.

So then, God is true, and yet He hath not changed:

It is HE that sendeth the petition, to answer it according to His will.

M. F. TUPPER.
