In hla prayers there la no contrltlnn, no sense of sln, no prayer for t.anloa.

In thls he contraits remarkably with hls own followers and dteciples. They make much of sln: their prayers are largely confeasion. And we find alao that the holler they grow the more unholy they felt themselves to be; the nearer they approached God the more clearly dld they perceive the glory of hls hollness, and in that glory every sxot, speck and staln in themselves stood out. Ilut the prayers of Christ, earnest, agonized and tearful aa they were, havo ln them no word of confeeslon. Ile bore our slns in hls own body and in hls own soul, yet he hlmself had no taiat of sin. He waa tho spotless son of God. And so, in the longest prayer of hls we have recorded, tbe pretace ia not a confession of sin, but an assertion of right eousDess. " I have glorified tliee on the earth; I have finished tho work thou gavest rae to do." " Into thy hand," he sald last of all, "I commend my sptrit." But he did notsayaawo do, "for thou hastredoemod me," becaune ho needed no redemption, beiug himself the redeemer Fnrther, it ia very strlking that though he prayed often for men and before meu, he never prayed with men. We rejoice to pray with each other and he haa encouraged U9 to do so. Kzceeding great and precious promises are uonna up wun tne prayer 01 two or tureo together. But he never prayed with any one. Ile prayed before hisuisciples, but not whu iuuui. 11? ueyer ovuu aaiu, aiuug wivu his disciples, "Our Father," lifting up com mon petitions for both. He never even sald, " Our Father," when speaking of him self and the disciples. Ile makes the dis tinction, " Your father and my father, your God and my God," aa if even in his closest approachea to them there waa an infmite distance between man and God. He prayed many a time for hia disciples, bot he never asked their prayers. Their sympathy, indeed, he was thankful for; but though he prayed often that their faith might not fall, he never asked them to plead that hia might sUnd. ir. II. Nicholl. Begin the Day with God. In one of our recent meetlngs a young man remarked he had beguu to devote half an hour each morning to secret prayer ; that be found his dally life growing to be more as he desired it should be. When the press of dutles precluded thts morning commu nion with the Master the day seemed to hiin a fallure. We trust there are none of our young men who do not liold secret converse with tbe Master at tbe day's commencement His ear can hear amld the clang of macbln ery and the hum of volce . No matter what are tho surrounding clrcumstancea, tlieheart can go to God. Wherever Abraham pitched his tent there he raised an altar to the Lord. So, wherever the Christian heart is there is also an asceptable altar from whlch the incense of prayer and pralse may ascend. Luther, in his busiest seasous, felt that praying time was never lost When re markably pressed with labor he would say, " I have so much to do that I cannot get on without three hours a day praying." Sir Matthew IHle sald, "If I omit praying and reading God's Word in the morning nothing goes well all day." How many of us may liud here tbe cause of many of our fatlures, and consequently discontent and loss of happiness 7 Bishop Taylor beautifully re marks, " Prayer is the key to open the day, and the bolt to shut in the night."

I aik hlm about the the future life, and in reply I hear hlm say : " I am to die, you are to live ; but for which of us is the better none can tell. I think the lives of gook men continne beyond ; but of this wise men are not confident." And tbat is the very best that the wisdom of the world can do for me. Djstroy my confi dence in the Ilible, and the future which I muat face is all darkness. I know well the burden of se'.f-condemnatlon which I carry. I know where I shall stand if I am judged accordiug to justlce. I need nobody to tell me that. IJut when I am induced to give up the Ilible, I know no more.
