CtatMboto accord. There is nothing like know ing how to go about anything to accomplish it. Sometimes we know how, but do not prac tice it at first, trying to beat about the bush. Prayer, we are told is the right and proper wav and with strong faith never fails. This is not controverted. Sunday night in a certain church at High Point a good old brother was asked to close the meeting with prayer. He proceeded to comply, and from reports he did business from the jump. His words were some thing after this fashion; ”0, Lord, there is a blind tiger next to my house; 1 have appealed to the mayor; I have appealed to the chief of police [he mentioned each by name], but they cannot or will not do a thing. Tbon const abate the evil, good Lord, and we com mit it to thee. Wipe it hom the face of the earth, good Lord, and let it exist no longer,” and mneb more to the same effect. It is said it was one of the best and most earnest prayers ever beard in High Point or anywhere else. Tbe good brother no donbt knew be should have appealed to the Almighty in tbe first place; maybe he did appeal to Him—in secret; but finding his prayer unheeded, he hit upon the expedient of public prayer and it is safe to say that blind tiger will vamoose. It's not going to hang out next door to tins good old man any longer The keeper of it, after this, will be afraid lightning will strike him. And he had better be afraid. - A Rock Hill, special an nounces that Mr. C. k.
