Attending Prayer
Meeting
By REV. JAMES M. GRAY, D. D.
Dean of Moody Bible'lastitute,
Chicago
TEXT Not forsaking the assembling
of ourselves together as the manner of
some is. Hebrews 10:25.
The weekly prayer meeting has been
called the pulse of the church, but it is
more ; it is really
the heart, itself ;
it is ti.e ideal
church in wor
ship; it is the
church gathering
of the Apostolic
There wre two
forms ' of public
worship among
the Jews in
Christ's day, the
temple iud the
synagoyur. The
iirst .wus ritualis
tic and select in
the senses that the
priests and Le-
vites conducted it. The econd was
simple and democratic iu the sense
that all the people took part in it.
There was only one temple and that
whs located in Jerusalem, but there
Wus a synagogue in every town where
as many as ten male Jews resided. Its
order ot service consisted merely in
the reading of a portion of the law and
the prophets, the chanting of a psalm
and an extempore ptuer. Then the
meeting was thrown open, as we now
say, and the people (the men at least)
were at liberty to take part.
The Christian church is built, not
on tie model of the temple but the
synagogue, as we see from Paul's first
Epistle to the Corinthians where, at
chapter 14, he is correcting certain
disorders that had crept into the as
sembly because of the liberty thus
granted to the people.
A Popular Gathering.
Our text applies to such a gathering
as this. That is to say, the writer has
in mind not a formal service, such as
is represented at a Sabbath gathering
in one of our present churches, but a
popular gathering of the people where
the meeting is thrown open for all to
exercise their spiritual gifts. It is
just such a gathering as a prayer
meeting always ought to be.
(1) . lie eu joins such an assem
bling of ourselves together as a duty
to be obeyed. We ought not to for
sake it, just as in other places God
tells us not to commit murder, -not to
steal, not to be guilty of adultery, not
to bear false witness, so here we are
not to forsake the assembling of our
selves together. In other words it is
a command that Christians cannot es
cape. (2) . It is a privilege to be enjoyed,
for the context tells us that thus by
praj'er we have "boldness to enter into
the holiest by the blood of Jesus," and
that we have "an High Priest over the
house of God." This being the case,
what blessings are we being denied if
we thus forsake the assembling of our
selves together!
Some of these blessings are of a
very practical every-day sort. The
Continent tells of a business house in
Chicago which asked a country corre
spondent to recommend a man for a
responsible position. The reply was,
"A young man passes my house every
Wednesday evening on his way to
prayer meeting at precisely a quarter
of eight. I like the looks of that
Shall I inquire further about him?"
The result was a position at a salary
larger than the young man eve
dreamed of receiving. The editor add
ed what Is entirely true, that the pray
er meeting habit is a good asset. The
prayer meeting young man is likely to
have the right basis of character.
There are hypocrites there, but that is
an evidence of the genuine.
(3) . It represents a need to be sup
plied, for the context says, "Let us
hold fast the profession of our faith
without wavering and let us consider
one another to provoke unto love and
to good works." The relation of our
Christian experience in the prayer
meeting and the exhortation and ap
peal that accompany it. express our
consideration for one another as breth
ren in Christ, and the result Is stimu
lating unto love and to good works. It
Is thus that we are able to hold fast
the profession of our faith.
There was a man, the father of a
family that attended ray church at one
time, who resisted all my appeals to
win him to the Savior, and his wife
told me he had resisted similar appeals
from her former pastors. By and by
on his death bed he accepted Christ
and witnessed a good confession be
fore his family and friends.
One day I asked him what was the
cause of his conversion, and found
that he attributed it to no sermon he
had ever heard, but to the testimony
of an elderly woman in a prayer meet
ing in the country town where he lived
more than 40 years before.
He resided with an aunt who com
pelled him to go because she would
not leave him alone in the house dur
ing her absence. He hated to go, but
he had to go, and there he heard the
testimony of this woman from which
lie had never been able to get away.
Now that he was facing eternity it
had moved him to receive and confess
Christ.
Let me urge y.u to stand by your
church prayer meeting, and to do your
part to make it of vital value.

"Dodson's Liver Tone" Straightens You Up Better Than Salivating, Dangerous
Calomel and Doesn't Make You Sick Don't Lose a Day's Work
Wonderful Discovery Destroying Sale of Calomel Here.
You're bilious! Your liver is sluggish! You

is dull, your tongue is coated ; breath bad ; stomach
sour and bowels constipated. But don't take sali

a day's work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes
necrosis of the bones. Calomel crashes into sour
bile like dynamite, breaking it up. That's when
you feel that awful nausea and cramping.
If you want to enjoy the nicest, gentlest liver
and bowel cleansing you ever experienced just take
a spoonful of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone to
night. Your druggist or dealer sells you a 50

Soon more soldiers scrambled down

"What are your orders?" said the

'Sir," came the answer, "my orders
are to prevent all ofiicers, soldiers and

Incorrigible Flirt.
A newly married couple have just
moved into a bungalow in what the
real estate people call "a new develop
ment" near New York. The benevolent
land cojnpany runs an electric car from
the property to the railway station,
This car, which (like the Toonerville
trolley) meets all trains, is manned, as
usual, by a conductor and a motor
man, both of whom are naturally on
very friendly terms with the patrons.
The other day the bride's mother came
to visit her. She noticed that her
daughter often waved a greeting to
ward the electric car as it passed the
house. "Why, Gladys," said the old
lady, "do you know all the conductors
on this line already?" Exchange.
Confirmed Suspicion.
Uncle Mose was one of those omnis
cient persons who always refuse to ac
knowledge either astonishment or ig
norance. When the circus and the
sideshow came to town and the pres
tidigitator called for someone to go up
on the stage, Mose was pushed for
ward. Presently the magician was tak
ing various wonderful articles out of
Mose's garments. Lastly, he extracted
a pair of white rabbits from Mose's
bushy wool.
"Weren't you surprised at the rab
bits, Mose?" asked his master, after
ward. "Xn, sah," Mose answered. "Fact Is,
sah, I'd been suspecting' dey's some
rabbits up there fo' some time."
Final Stroke of Diplomacy.

Domestic Turkey.
Dr. W. T. Hornaday, director of the
New York Zoological park, hold this
view of the turkey: "In view of the
fact that the wild turkey so closely
resembles the domestic turkey of the
best sort, I am strongly of the opinion
that the domestic turkey has come
down from the wild species without
any cross-breeding whatsoever. Be
tween the wild gobbler and a first
class domestic gobbler, about the only
difference discernible is that the do
mestic bird has light-gray upper tall
coverts, and the same feathers of the
wild bird are colored like those of
the remainder of the back."
