IMPORTUNITY.

"Men ought always to pray, and not to faint."—Luke 18:1.
PRAY on, thou weeping, wrestling saint; Thy God, though silent, hears; He registers each sad complaint; He bottles all thy tears.
Who gave his Son shall give thee all Thy utmost need can want; Would thou wert half as prompt to call As he is prompt to grant!
Then be not like the faithless king, Who smote but thrice, and stayed; Smite on, until thy smiting bring The answer which it prayed.
Trust to thine Advocate on high, Whose pleadings never fail; His word, which backs the feeblest cry, Shall make that cry prevail. —Sel.
