REQUESTS FOR PRAYER.

“I PLEAD earnestly for the sincere prayers of the sisterhood for my sister, who is afflicted with epileptic fits, and also for a friend whose mind has been afflicted for years, and who is earnestly pleading for the Lord to heal him.”
“Do remember my dear husband in your prayers, that he may be led to see the need of family unity, and that there is a great responsibility resting upon him as a father of sons and daughters, and also that he may be led to see the need of an education for these children, so that they can be used in the Lord’s work.”
“I ask for the prayers of the sisterhood for the conversion of my four children and my divorced husband. I do not know where he is. He was, and perhaps is, a drunkard, and you know what that means. I see that I took the wrong course in getting a divorce, and no one but the Lord knows how sorry I am. I have tried to find my husband, that I might ask his forgiveness and make amends for the past.”
“I have been thinking of writing to this department ever since it started, but, feeling myself unworthy, have kept putting it off. Now my heart is so burdened for one of my boys, who smokes cigarettes, that I ask your prayers for him. He is not able to work much, and his affliction and the cigarettes wholly unfit him for labor. None of my family are Christians, and I ask that you will remember us all in your seasons of prayer.”
“I wish to have prayer for my husband and my son and for myself. My loved ones are not within the fold of Christ, and my health is much impaired. I am isolated from church privileges, but I am glad there are praying women who are interested in the trials and difficulties of others. There is no human help for me and mine, and that is why I ask your prayers; for nothing is impossible with God, and only divine help will satisfy my despairing soul.”
“Since my mother’s death, last February, I have lived on a farm with my stepfather and youngest half-brother and his family. They are all worldly. The men swear, and do things that make it very disagreeable for me. My stepfather is a drinking man, and will not provide for me. I ask you to remember my loved ones in prayer at the noontide hour, that they may be led into the truth, and be saved in the kingdom. They heard the truth at the same time I did, but did not accept it.”
