REQUESTS FOR PRAYER.

“My greatest grief is my husband's profanity. It is dreadful for my little children to hear. I wish you would earnestly pray for him, and for me, that I may live a true Christian life in my home.”

A daughter requests prayer for her father, who became very bitter toward her a number of years ago on account of her choice in marriage, and has not spoken to her since. She is trying to bring about a reconciliation, and asks prayer to that end.

Special prayer is requested by one of our sisters for a Congregationalist minister's wife, in whom she is especially interested, and for whom she is doing what she can to relieve her physical difficulties. She writes: “I do want special prayer for her. She has a multitude of grievous complaints. She has been almost wild, and is able to sleep hardly at all. She has been in this condition since last November, and a few weeks ago she went to a doctor in Portland to be hypnotized, hoping that in that way she might get sleep. He, however, failed to put her under the influence, and I believe that it was in answer to my continual prayers. I have prayed for her faithfully, and I believe God put her under my care. When she first came here, she sent for me, in order to get the health foods, and we soon became intimate friends. I can not give her up, and I ask the special prayers of my sisters for her.”
