Text: "Being let go, they went to their own company" Acts 4r Liberty is a test of character. While Peter , and John were held by the authority of the Sanhedrim, they could not show what they liked or disliked. They were compelled to remain just where they were placed, whether in jail or palace. But "being let go" they show what they are by going to a meeting for prayer doubtless at the house of John Mark. They might haye gone to many other places of business or amusement, but they preferred "their own company," men and women who believed in prayer and praise. All of which suggests that the week ly prayer meeting is one of the best tests of Christian character. "Being let go" christians who love to pray and praise will seek the company of those who delight in the same, that is, pro vided some miserable Sanhedrim does not hold them. Let us turn our. attention to a few of these modern Sanhedrims, which so obstinately refuse to let Christians go to their weekly prayer meeting. BUSINESS. "I am so busy I cannot possibly go." Hold, brother, Is not going to the prayer meeting your business? or do you consider that the business of only pastor deacons, and a select few? May we not put it stronger by assert ing that the prayer meeting is God's business, and how dare you, being a steward, neglect your Master's busi ness? We submit that this excuse is never a good one. If your business is so prosperous that it occupies all your time, you can certainly afford to take from it an hour or two each week for the prayer meeting; and let me say softly, you are anngrateful wretch not to do it. If, oh the other hand, your business is not prosperous, you will certainly not lose much by turn ing from it during the prayer meeting hour. Please answer this question: Do you ever take from your business an hour for a lecture, a political mass meeting, or a concert, not to say theatre? It so, bow can you afford it, specially since you have to pay for en tertainments and you can go to prayer meeting for nothing? "But I am so tired after business hours that I don't feel like going any where." If that be true, and your time Is your own, you are working too hard. You ought to leave your business on prayer meeting days in time to take a nap before 8 o'clock. You owe it to your family not to kill yourself trying to get rich. And yet we are pained to see that this plea of weariness is not goodjonvother evenings, for we some times meet these weary brethren on the street cars on other evenings after the prayer meeting hour, looking fresh r and vigorous. Come to prayer meet ing, weary brother, though you go to sleep in three minutes. The pastor would rather furnish you a pillow for a nap all the time he is talking, than to feel you have not enough interest in "your own company" to meet with them once a week. HEALTH. "My health is so poor, and I take cold so easily. It is really dangerous for me to venture out, especially if the weather is at all bad." Now persons of feeble health ought to be prudent, but what do you think the pastor thinks when he sees this same feeble sister, snugly wrapped in cloak and furs, on a shopping expedition, going from store to store on a cold drizzly day, and gctually not getting home till some time after dark? Why, he thinks of course, that the sister has re covered her health, and will certainly jbe at the next prayer meeting." But ,she is not there, though the evening is jelear and bracing. She has to stay at jhome to work up some of the material she bought while shopping. ; The pastor, it may be, is faithful enough to ask her why she can expose herself shopping in such bad weather but cannot come to prayer meeting, even when the weather is good. "O, I can pray at home," she. replies, "but I am compelled to go out to make pur chases." Everybody knows she does not stay at home to pray. Herdesire to pray would lead her to take the same risks at least to get to the com pany of praying people, that her desire to purchase leads her to take in going from store to store. No. no. She stays at home, because she does not want td ifra'y. For well people the weather is an excellent prayer gunge. It does not take long to know whom to expect at prayer meeting on inclement nights. Those who love to pray and praise don't mind the weather, because they keep prepared for any weather, and, weather or no weather, their mind is made up to be at prayer meeting. Rain and snow, cold and heat are Sanhed rims whose authority they do not recognize. They are a pastor's joy. God bless them! What would the pastor and sexton do sometimes with out them? A small salary and a large number of such members is better than a large salary and only "a few such regulars. We do love real Christians of all kinds, but our heart simply over flows with love for the prayer meeting Christian and every pastor says, Amen. COMPANY. "Just as I was starting to prayer meeting, some neighbors called, and as they were not Christians or members of any church I felt that I ought to remain with them." Now, why did your, neighbors call on your prayer meeting night? Either because they did not know your prayer meeting evening, or because they had such a low estimate of your religion as to lead them ,to think that going to prayer meeting was a thing you did not care about. In either case you ought to correct their mistake. Politely excuse yourself once, promising to return as soon as prayer meeting is over, and they Will not- call again on prayer meeting evening. More than that, you will impress them with the fact that you esteem religious services, that you are not a mere formal Sunday morn ing Christian. If they are offended by S6hr conduct, rejoice that you have rid your children of assoclatesand in fluences perniciouj to their best wel fare, . A gentleman in New "York asked a prominent merchant if he would be at leisure on Wednesday evening, as ON plied the merchant The gentlemLn was no little surprised when he learn ed that his friend's "important engagfei -ment" was' the weekly prayer ioeet ing. Greater than his surprise was his? respect for his friend's religion."- Do yon suppose he ever called again upon that merchant on Wednesday even- ing? More probably he began to go td prayer meeting, conscious that there was something worth haying' in a re ligion that manifested itself In that, practical way. Don't let these -little "company"" Sanhedrims keep yon from "your own company." - There are some good excuses for not attending prayer meetings. Some poot mothers, unable to hire a nurse are compelled to remain at home every, hour. If her husband is as gallant aa he was before marriage, he will as sume her responsibilities now and then, that she may share the blessings of the prayer meeting. Sometimes1 distance is a well nigh insurmountable obstacle and. yet it is. a note-worthy, fact that many who live at the. great-, est distances are the most regular at tendants. Some ladies contend that they cannot attend, because they ..can not go alone. When such is really the case arrangements ought to be made among the church members to see them safely to church and return. If these ladies, however, will seek earn estly among their acquaintances of the . neighborhood, they will usually find other women like themselves anxious to go to prayer meeting, and by bring- ing them to church they will do as well as receive good. We are aware that the time of many men and women is not their own. Aa clerks, &c, they must do the bidding of employers. Still it is true that near ly all such have or may have an "even ing off" every week. We have known some' to make special arrangements with their employers to "get off" on lodge evenings. And they were Chris tians too, who loked as pious on Sun day morning as any in the church. It simply proved that they thought more of their lodge than of their prayer meeting. "Being let go, they went to their own company." Please prevail upon the employing Sanhedrim to "let you go" on prayer meeting night, that you may prove to them and others that you are sincere in your confession of Christ. Ehough about the Sanhedrim. Let us turn to the prayer meeting in which' Peter and John met their "own com pany" and we will see a model for our weekly meetings and a large' stream of blesings flowing from it. And what did they do when they got there? The answer to that ques tion will give us a glimpse into an Apostolic prayer meeting, and reveal to us the secret of their power. May, it not also give us some suggestions as to how we can best conduct our week ly meetings? for we are persuaded that most pastors are more puzzled about these meetings than about their ser mons. We call them the social relig ious meetings of the church, when the1 fact is, like your church sociables, they are often very unsociable. Sociability, like the poet, is born, not made. Our attempts to be social make us feel ill at ease. Those whose business it is to entertain and to be entertained must admit the truth of Byron's saying: "Society now is one polished horde, Formed of two -mighty tribes, the bores and the bored." Sad to say these lines describe too1 many of our prayer meetings. The pious brethren and sisters go to them expecting to be bored, but feeling that for the sake of the cause and the pa?tor it is their duty to bear this cross. It is evident that this Apostolic prayer meeting was brim full of life. "Being let go" the week following, not one of them would have thought it a cross to go to such a meeting. Now what was the secret? 1. They told their receat experi ences. "Reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them." Some good people have experiences of many years ago which they delight to tell, and it is well to tell them, but not too often to the same company. After they have been told about three" time, the people know them by heart, but God's recent dealings with us are always fresh. David said "Come and hear, all ye that fear God, aid I will declare what he hath done for my soul." The great deliverance from sin we may never cense to speak of. Paul's story of his experience on the way to Damascus never grew old. But God .does inore for us than deliver. (Continued on Sixth Page.) THE BEST auscle UILDER GIVES STRENGTH TO THE STOHTACH.
