PRAYER.

By E. Hoaglan

PRAYER is the key to all celestial treasures. Prayer should be made to God continually in childlike simplicity, for nothing so soothes and sweetens life and elevates the soul as prayer. If we would succeed in what we undertake to do, or if we are in sorrow or in trouble, let us go to Him "who is a very present help in trouble," who is ever ready to listen, and never weary, no matter what our prayer may be; and He says, "All things whatsoever we ask believing we shall receive."
"Pray without ceasing" for strength and counsel and comfort in every temptation, resting in Him for victory in every trial. Then we will go about our daily duties with a more enlightened mind, a more earnest will, and be brought into closer communion with God. O, let us know what it is to pray; for what peace it brings to the soul! what love to the heart! It makes joy shine in the countenance, even tho the tears stream from the eyes.
