SENDING PRAYERS IN A CART.
A poor man, who had a very large family, gave them a comfortable support while he was in health. He broke his leg and was laid up for some weeks. As he would be for some time destitute of the means of grace, it was proposed to hold a prayer-meeting at his house. The meeting was led by deacon Brown. A loud knock at the door interrupted the service. A youngster stood at the door with an ox-goad in his hand, and asked to see deacon Brown. “Father could not attend this meeting,” he said, “but he sent his prayers, and they are out in the cart.” They were brought in in the shape of potatoes, beef, flour, and corn. The meeting broke up without the benediction; nor did the poor fellow suffer during his whole confinement. The substantial prayers of the donors became a means of grace.—Sel.
