Reference was made to the Israelites in the wilderness, our sick soldiers Hi the hospitals at Manila, Daniel in exile, etc. Kemembrauee of our past lives. Jonah had disobeyed (iod. He told of the trouble that must come U, children who disobey' their parents. The Apostle Paul could never forgot his persecutions of the church. The visitation of (tod's judgment? for sin and Die legitimate harvest of evil sowing often produce spiritual faint ing. Among the remedies suggested were the following: Remembrance of the Lord, His power, His mercy, His pro vidence. Prayer. We can never fall into any situation wl. ere we may not pi ay.

We should confess to whom we have sinned against. "Against thee only have jve sinned' ' "Who can forgive sins but Uodonly?" Jesus Christ is the only medium through which we can approach the Father. The Jews ignore this, and hence are resting under (iod's dis pleasure. "1 am the way, the truth, and the life," said Jesus. He is our high priest, aud has made his own atoning sacri fice. The Father has accepted and endorsed it. The prerequisites to ac ceptable prayers are sincerely, humil ity, simplicity, and importunity. Ask ing contrary to (iod's will is asking contrary to our best interests. We must not pray selfishly. The thorn must remain in the flesh.
