PRAY WITHOUT CEASING.

“Pray without ceasing,” says the zealous Paul; But what means this? Must we not work, nor eat, Nor take our rest? Is prayer to swallow all? Are knees to serve in lieu of hands and feet? Nay, I will show thee what is ceaseless prayer. First, ’tis a heart to prayer for aye inclined; Next, that it be of all our choicest care; Next, that we ask the Counselor to share Each sorrow of the body and the mind; Next, that we cease not till our good we find, Like him who said, “I will not let thee part. Until thou bless;” next, that our spirits dart Their pious glances, when they can, on high: Last, that we bound each day with morn and evening cry. —Sel.
