REQUESTS FOR PRAYER.

“Please remember my husband in your prayers.”
“Please pray for my infidel son and his unconverted father, that they may be consecrated to God and his work.”
“I am at present working with a very sick man—one who has run a gambling house for a living. He wishes me to read the Bible as often as he is able to have me come over. Will you please take this case to our Father, that his Spirit may rest upon this man, and that he may be converted?”
“My husband is not a Christian. My children keep the Sabbath with me; but I fear they are not all thoroughly converted. I ask the prayers of our sisters in behalf of my husband, and that I may have grace to live Christ in my family, and lift him up before my dear ones, so that they may be drawn to him.”
“My husband and I request the prayers of the readers of this department for the recovery of our landlord's wife, who is lying very ill with fever. We have given reading-matter to this family, and tried to interest them in the Third Angel's Message. They are young, and I request prayer that, if it is God's will, she may be spared to her husband, and be led to accept the truth for these times. I ask prayer for myself and family, that we may get the victory over every besetting sin, that God may set his seal upon us as a family. I also request prayer for my father, who is unconverted. I expect to go to see him this fall. Pray that I may be able to reveal the truth.”
A letter from a brother states the following sad news: “My wife has been confined in the State hospital for the insane since last January, and the physician in charge does not give much hope of recovery. At the time of the collapse of her mental powers she was laboring to the best of her ability in the work suggested by Sister Henry, and was enthusiastically planning to enlarge the field of her usefulness. She was a firm believer in every phase of the Third Angel's Message, and applied its principles to the most minute details of life. We have two children, the older not yet four years of age. I will thank the sisters very much if they will unite their prayers for her recovery, if it is the Master's will.”
