Special Request for Prayer.

By WORCESTER FARRAR; SARAH FARRAR; JAMES E. FARRAR; MARY E. FARRAR; RUFUS BAKER; ROXANNA C. BAKER

We, the undersigned, relatives of Almon D. Farrar, now an inmate of the Insane Asylum at Madison, Wis., hereby earnestly request the prayers of all God's people in his behalf, that his reason may be restored, and he once more occupy his place in his family and in the church.

He has been in the asylum over a year without receiving benefit, and we feel as though our only hope of his recovery was in the Great Physician.

We beg all who have access to the throne of grace, to intercede in his behalf, for the sake of his poor wife and child, his suffering parents, and friends, and also for his own sake, that he may be capable of serving and glorifying God, as we firmly believe he endeavored to do when he was in his right mind.

May God help us in humility and deep contrition of soul, in view of our great unworthiness, and our many errors and shortcomings, to ask according to his will, that he may hear us.

WORCESTER FARRAR, SARAH FARRAR, JAMES E. FARRAR, MARY E. FARRAR, RUFUS BAKER, ROXANNA C. BAKER. Parents.
