6 The Household. HA TCH AND PRA F. BY MBS. JACKIE ROBERTS. Mv boy. the world to you seems bright, And cloudless Is your sky to day ; Now, all Is pleasure, hope and light, But watch, my darling, watch and pray. The w- rid Is false, and has no joy, That will not soon fade all away ; She has no bliss wit.tout alloy. 1 bid my boy, then, wa'ch and pray. The world is fair, but can’t abide; Her fondest love sometimes decay, And lurking thorns, bright roses hide, Oh! learn to watch as well as pray. Dame fortune may with oil stret'-hed hand, Bld you to haste without delay To pluck the fruit of her fair land, But don’t forget to watch and pray. And when temptation’s waves dash high, And you from dutv bear away, In hcav’n there is a sleepless eye, That always watches those who pray. Rude cares will come and nestle near, To ihv young heart so light and gay ; But God wl.l help yon,never f ar, If you will trust him when yon pray. Then should dark clouds of sorrow rise, And shroud in gloom thy sunny way, O lift your heart above the skies, To him who hears you when you pray. Be patient, zealous, meek and true, Dispensing light on other’s way ; A crown of glory waits for you, And all who love to watch and pray. There is a cross for each to bear; B ar yours, then, meekly, every day. A"d heaven’s blessings you will share. With those who gently watch and pray. Should friends forsake and prove untrue, Your brightest hopes all pass away, A mother's love will cling o you, A mother's heart for you will pray. And when the storms of life are o’er, And all is one Eternal d»y, We'll meet again on that bright shore, And have no cause to watch and pray. Woodland Retreat. May 14, 1880. PA RAERES PRA YER. BY MRS. M. G. KENNEDY. “Did you ever notice,” said Mrs. Ellis, “how much pains Jesus took to teach us to pray? Suppose that during this week you each try to find an instance of a les son on prayer, by the great Teacher.” “Men ought always to pray,” spelled out Ned. Then, without waiting to read farther, he looked up with a puzzled face: ‘‘Why, I don’t see how any one can do that. There are a great many other things that have to be done; and how could we do them if we just knelt down and prayed all the time?” “You can pray without kneeling down.” said Annie; ‘‘and even while your hands are busy with something else.” “Yes, I know,” said the boy; “but even so, 1 don’t just see what it means.” “I will try to make it plain to you,” said his mamma. "If your/teart were to stop beating, your hands or feet could do no work ; yet you do not often think about vour heart being the real motive power which keeps every thmgelsegoing right. Now, Can you make prayer the heart of yonr day’s work, study, and play. If you truly love Jesus, you will not undertake anything without asking his love and blessing. The spirit of prayer wpll go through the lessons, the work, and the play. In everything you would, sometimes without hardly know ing it, turn to Jesus for help, comfort or thanksgiving Prayer would surround yon, like the air you breathe, there all the time, even when you are not con sciously thinking of it.” "I have heard this story,” said Mary: "Some ministers were once discussing how the command to ‘pray without ceas ing’ could be kept. One ofthetn was ap pointed to write an essay upon it to be read at the next meeting. A servant who heard fhis, exclaimed: ‘Whala whole month waiting to tell-the mean ing of that text? It is one of the easiest and best texts in the Bible.’ ‘Well, well,’ said an old minister, ‘let’s hear how you understand it. Can you pray all the time Mary?’ ‘Oh yes, sir.’ ‘What! when you have so many things to do ?’ ‘Why, sir, the more I have to d >, the more I can pray.’ ‘lndeed! Well, Mary, let us hear how this is, for most people think otherwise.’ ‘Well, sir,’ said the girl, ‘when I first open my eyes in the morning, I pray, "Lord, open the eyes of my understanding;” and when I am dressing, I pray that I may be clothed with the robe of righeousness; and when I wash me, I ask for the washing of resignation ; and as I begin to work, I pray that I may have strength equal to my day ; when I begin to kindle up the fire, I pray that God’s work may revive in my soul ; and as I sweep out the house, I pray that my heart may be cleansed from all itsimpuritiesjand while preparing and eating breakfast, I desire to be fed with the hidden manna and the sincere milk of the Word ; and as I am busy with the little children, I look up to God as my Father, and pray that. I may be bis child; and so on through the day. Every tiling Ido furnishes me with a thought for brayer.’ ” “You see then,” said Mr. Ellis, “how it is possible to keep the Savior’s rule, ‘that men ought alwayt to pray.’ Or, as Paul puts it, ‘Praying always with all prayer,’ Eph. vi. 18. Or, as in anothe place, ‘Pray without ceasing,’ 1 Thess. v. 17. Then they talked about persevering firayer, and the conduct of this unjust ndge was compared with that of the wise, loving Father who hears every tiny cry of even his weakest child. Tottie said: “I should not think God would like us so to tease him for things. My mamma don’t give me anything I wor ry for.” “No ; nor the Lord does not want you to tease or worry; that isavery different thing, indeed, from asking often, even cons'antly, and always earnestly, for what you want, and then waiting patient ly for the answer.” “But the answer don’t always come.” "Oh yes it does, if we have asked aright. The promise, ‘Ye shall receive,’ has never yet been broken. But here is where you make the mistake; the Lord not only does not always send the answer as soon as we would wish, but he does not always give ns just the thing that we ask. He looks alltlie way along our lives, and seeing the end from the begin ning, knows as we cannot possibly do, whether the thing we ask for would be good for us, and lie gives us a far better thing, often this better thing being the faith to say : “I know it is best, for God does it." “Prayer pulls the rope below and the great bell rings above the ears of God. Some scarcely stir the bell, for they pray so languidly; others give but an occa sional pluck at the rope; but he who wins heaven is he who grasps the rope THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1881. boldly, and pulls continuously with all his might.” “Father," said John, “I was lately shown a combination lock which were set at different letters of the alphabet, and could only be opened by some one who knew the word at which they were locked. It seems to me that the three words of our Golden Text—Ask, Seek, Knock, are the combination which will open the lock of God’s Treasury.” “True. And now let us look at the two men who came up to the temple to pray. For one of them the people mak ing way, crying, ‘Rabbi! Rabbi 1’ Most likely he stopped and put a coin in at the treasury with great show. He has long flowing robes, and a broad hem to his garment, which is bound with blue ribbons, and his wrists are ornamented with passages of scripture. On bis fore head there is a curious leather box fixed, and another on his left arm. Ttiese con tain slips of parchment with texts of Scripture written on them. He would not think of speaking to the Publican who came in just behind him. Indeed, if he had the least idea that the Publican would ever get to heaven, I do not think he would care to go too, for he certainly does not care to be at all mixed up with him. Now Tottie, what is prayer?” “ Asking God for what you want,” promptly replied the child. “Well, Annie, what does this man ask for?” "Why sir, I do not see that he asks for any thing. But he says: ‘God I thank thee,’ and you always say thanks giving is an important part of prayer.” "Yes, indeed, but prayers can’t be all praise till we get to where we have no needs of any kind. But the Pharasee’s thanksgiving was not praise to God, bnt praise of himself to himself. He is so well satisfied with himself that he has nothing he wants to pray for. Thank less thanks, or prayerless prayers, some one calls it.” “It looks as if he was confessing other people’s sins,” said Mary. "Yes, that is very easy ; we can see them so much more easily than we can our own. But we may do the very same tiling, even in our study of this lesson. By seeing his hateful pride, and not our own sins, it, is as if we said : 'O God, I thank thee that I am not as this Phari see.’ "Now we have left little time to look at the Publican. He is too busy to think about the Pharisee, to feel hurt at his prayer, or his neglect. He cannot tell what he has done, for he has lone noth ing good. He cannot say that he is not this or that, for he knows he i so bad that the few things he has not (line mat ter little. He knows he is a sinner, the sinner, it is literally ; instead of plead ing that he is better than other men, he actually pleads that lie is worse! He might have said that there were plenty as bad as he was, and even worse 1 lie does not even promise to do better. His load of sin was so great, that all he can do is to ask for mercy.” '"But if the two men were different when they came up to the temple, what a difference as they go hie-ae,” said Mrs. Edis. “It is told in one uitle word, bnt how much it means. justified; not guilty, not condemned. What did it matter now, who looked down on him, or despised him, God had exalted him!” "Now one more story ; a Hottentot, who was present at family prayer in a Dutchman’s family, heard’this parable: ‘Now’ said he, ‘I will learn howto pray.’ The Dutchman read, ‘God I thank thee that lam not as other men are.’ ‘No,’ said the poor man ‘I am worse,’ ‘I fast twice a week,’ etc. ‘I don’t pray that way, what shall I .lot’ asked the distres sed savage. ‘He would not so much as lift his eyes to heauen.’ ‘That’s me,’ cried lie. ‘But stood afar off.’ ‘That’s where I am.’ ‘God be merciful to me a sinner.’ ‘That's me, that’s my prayer.’ And he too was justified.” OBITUARIES. PINDER —Miss Ann M. Pinder, of Savannah, died <>n the 30th of May, 1881 She uni ed with the church in 1812, and was baptized by Rev. J. G Biuney, D. I). Her religious convictions were Mrongand unwavering. She whs a consistent Baptist, while her relatives hel«l with other de nominations. Her life was distinguished for meekness and devotedness. She had the appear anc“, day by day, of one who held communion with God. After nearly forty years of patient cross-bearing she takes the crown. L SMITH.—Died, July 18th, 1881, Mrs. Lucy E. wife of Jabez P. Smith, of Oglethorpe county. Ga.. and daughter of C. Binns, deceased, of Wilks county. She was something over 36years of aue, and had been a member of the church at Sardis nearly 23 years. The interest she mani fested in the prosperity of the church, in various ways and especially in the Sibbath school, to gether with her godly walk and pious conver sation, furnish ample evidence to her relatives and friends that she has entered into the rest that remain for the people of God. What conso lation this to the bereaved ! B. M. C. PROCTOR— 7. ichariah Procter was born in Newberry District South Carolina, Feb. 20th, 1810, and died at his residence in Talbot county, Ga., .August 27th, 1881. His fatherdied when he was quite young and his mother being in very moderate circumstan ces, he had to take care of himself and also aid her. By energy, good judgment and honest dealings he had acquired, and was in possession of a fine estate at the breaking out of the civil war. He was generous, and the poor and needy never came to him in vain. The night was never too dark, nor the day too inclement for him to go to the ni<l of those who were in distress. He was opposed to secession, but when his State passed the ordinance separating herself from the Union, he went wi’h her; and gave his means and sent his sons to battle for her rights, In the winter of 1862, he contracted by the death bed of one of his sons, who fell at Manassas, a disease which prevented him from walking for 18 year.;, and which was the cause of his death. He was an active and useful member of the Baptist church nearly forty years, and a deacon for thirty-eight. He di* das he lived, sound in the faith. As he was passing away, he told his weeping wife and children and friends * That lie had no fears of death, and that if It pleased his Heavenly Father, he desired to depart and be relieved of his physical sufferings, which were intense.” His mind was clear and his heart bold to the last. He was a man who possessed »n indomitable will, a tender hiart, and a soul truthful and without guile. A Friend, Dr. David A. Weaver. The subject of this sketch was born July 31, 1825, and died March 26th, 1881, Adopting the poet’s unit of measure. “How long we live not years but actions tell,” Dr. Weaver lived not merely a half century, as the above dates seem io say, but, Indeed, wealth-ladtn centuries ‘‘He lived while he lived." Baptized into the fellowship of Harmony church at the early age of thirteen, his early manhood and the wisdom and zeal of his riper years >vere freely and con stantly contributed to the weal of his church and the honor of his sovereign Master. At a Christian, he was one of those men who neverseemed at any pains to publish his religion, for his principles and sentiments spontaneously declared and illustrated themselves every day of his life, You could not associate with him an hour without observing some genuine and un mistakable evidence of his gracious state. His was a warm, sympathetic nature. His heart would often and easily gush forth in streams of tenderness, as the melting eye would faithfully be oken. No one ever rejoiced more than he over those outporings of grace divine which revived and refreshed the hearts of saints, and convertel and saved lost men. Indeed, beseemed to have a ‘‘passion lor souls.” He was a sort of Whitfield of tnelaity He possessed the art of ascertaining with remarkable directness a man’s religious condition ; and if he discovered the absence ■ \ <CI E>P JITW BEETHOVEN GRAND ORGANS’® 7 Rjg ©fcMl I I 14 OCTAVES OF REEDS S9O The Caso is Charmingly Ornamented with Arabesque Designs in GOLD. <in nnm / A?..

N a r his blacksmith shop about sundown iu .May of 1871 we had talked together; and I had bidden him good evening and turned away, when a strong, nervous call brought me to a stard. His rapid approach, his anxious look, his earnest tone, his tremulous voi- e and quivering lips are all before me now. "Mr. Carswell, what are you going to do with your influence over the children of this community? Oh! if yon only loved Jesus you might lead them all to Him.” He said more. The effort was vainly made to discon cert him—to turn the arrow away—but new’ aim drove it home. In great confusion of soul I went from that dialogue ‘‘What,’ I said to my self. “I lead anybody to Jesus! I bave’nt been myself ” The ’first shock was followed by praver for divine guidame and help, and credit to his ashes demands that I leave it on record that those earnest searching words, contribiued no little to thos • influences which were blessed of Heaven to the salvation of my poor sin-darkened an'* sitDoppressed soul. Ami if all whom he influenced similarly should speak, the dust of many a tomb would be animate with his praise and living lips would gladly “call him blessed.” There was never a time when his church did not feel his influence for good. He was for many years chief counsellor ami director of affairs, not by personal monopoly or godless intrigue, but by the common consent’of his peers. His judgment was usually clear and his conception of right always distinct and commonly instinctive ly cor rect. He gave as much character to his church as any man who ever was nfliliattd with it. ID was also a thorough Baptist. A close reader of th * divine STintur s, which he read through just before his itemise he was ever ready to give an intelligent reason for his faith or his practice. A sound and faithful pulpit never find,rebound and echo in his loyal heart, and strong support in his ready words of endorse ment. Legions, his like, are needed everywhere to help on the truth; to comfort, encourage, strengthen the advocaha of the cause of right eousness. A* a citizen, unquestionably, he did far more for his community than any of his cotemporaries This none will dispute. What he did for educa tion, both by example, making every sacrifice to educate hiss ms and daughters, and in contribu ting of his own means, eff rt and influence for the estabii-ihm* nt and jerpetnity of lo al institu tions of learning, has a monument more endur ing than bronze in the scores of educated gen tlemen and ladies now resident around old Har mony, and that shine as 1 ghts in church and community. Hi> liberality was a conspicuous virtue. Money was lit* rally ‘no object to him” when the development of the material resources of his conn try, ttie advancement of i he immortal interests of mind, and the good of souls were at stake. As a physician he was ambitious, laborious, attentive, cautious, faithful, remark bly success ful. For years he w-isthe favorite practitioner for miles around. Ever studious, lie kept up well with the progress and travel of the ncience and art of medicine ; and was not out dated at his death. He was a praying physician, and not unfrequently bowed by the bedside of his pati ents and appealed t ‘ God on their tiehalf. Every physician ought to be a man of faith and a man of prayer. He was kind and affectionate as a child, and yet in th** administration of family discipline he. was positire even 10 seeming sternness. He was king but not tyrant in the empire of home. Heaven bestowed upon him richest boon in the person of a truly pious and godly wife nee Miss Sarah Cogburn, whose intensely re’igious nature always met response in his consecrated bosom Family prayer was his chief delight, and in his las; moments he exacted a pledge from his boys that they would never allow the fire to burn down on the altar of family devotion God peculiarly blessed his example and precepts, for he lived to see his children all—four sons and three daughters—members of the church of Jesus Christ, and giving abundant evidence that they commune with Jesus. His last days were literally his brightest and best. He seemed from the beginning of hU.sick ness to have strong premonitions that "the time of his departure” was “at hand.” Calmly he talked of approaching death; confidently and sometimes, with evident rapture of the “blissful beyond ” No hesitancy manifested itself but perf ct readiness to obey the Master’s summons to "come up higher.” There was a radiancy of heavenly light in his chamber for <*ays together. Many were his words of assurance in Chris* ; many and tender, the counsels to his children that lingered tearful and heart-crushed about his dying l»ed; many and grace-endued, his ex pressions of gratitude to God f>r His mercy, and to Jesus for His nearness and the sweetness and power of His grace in the hour of his need. Often did he call for the songs of Zion, and his soul seemed to float off on the rising anthems of praise. He affirmed with bright consciousness that it was sweet to “lean his head upon the Master’s breast and breathe out his life there.” When his attending physician exhorted him to cheerfulness, he seemed surprised at the super fluity and said. “I have nothing to fear,’’ ‘‘Jesus can make a dying bed feel soft as downy pillows are.” His pastor, the beloveJ A. M. Mnr'hal', who knew him long and well said to one of the family after the Doctor had passed away "It is well for us that such a man has lived in our com munity ; it is well that such a man hasdied in our community.” K.
