REQUESTS FOR PRAYER.

“My dear husband is a backslider, and some of my children are far from the truth. Pray for my dear ones, that they may see their lost condition, and turn to God.”
“I would still ask for prayer for the prisoner that Sister Henry wrote to—the one who was sentenced to be hanged February 9. He was granted a reprieve, but may be executed soon.”
A sister requests prayer for her loving husband, who is grieving because of her acceptance of the truth. This seems the only barrier between them. Pray that the way may open for them both to attend the camp-meeting, and that he may be inclined to go, and may see the truth.
“Will you kindly remember to pray earnestly that my dear father and two brothers may yield themselves to the Lord, and be saved? God is working with them, for I ask him to, and I know he hears me. I love to remember those who have made similar requests through the REVIEW. It draws us nearer to God to have something definite to ask for, and special ones to pray for.”
We have just received word in regard to one of our sisters who is discouraged. Her husband, once a worker in the cause of God, has grown indifferent to the truth, and also to his family, and does not even provide comfortably for them. This sister has six children, and she is trying to earn enough for their support by making shirts at forty cents a dozen for the factory. This is certainly a pitiful case, and she should have our prayerful interest.
“I earnestly desire prayer for my husband and children. My husband was once a Baptist, but now he makes no profession, and does not seem to believe the Bible. My daughter is married, and is very worldly. She has everything to make her happy as far as this world’s goods are concerned; and although she has been brought up to know the truth, she does not seem to care for anything religious. I have a son fourteen years old, who seems to be drifting out into the world. He says that he loves his Saviour, and he attends Sabbath-school and church, but the things of the world are getting a hold on him. O Christians, pray earnestly for me and my loved ones.”
