Children's Prayers.
By BERTHA HAYWARD HIGGINS
-
; “Mother, I think I'm going In m:il;
I a < (ill>'i tion of prayers," ant ni)
! small hoy onn evening.
: “Very well," «ai<l I, I think that
i will ho. lino. Arc you going to paste
j thorn in a strap hook?"
■ "Yos," Inti I'm going in learn th• in {
; first. But when ran I say thorn? !
; I can’t ray thorn all every night. I
■ can 1?”
■ “Well perhaps not if you have a
■ large rollnetioA, hut you can say
| your favorite one every night, und
; have the others ready for special oc
■ oasions. There are so many times
■ when yon want lo ask Cod snme
: thing, nr thank him for that which
■!Ho lias already given you. II would
Ej be very nice to liave all ready for
El use. a collection of prayers which
E someone has already though out
I and expressed in more beautiful lan
: guago than you would he likely to
■ uso if you made them hasitly."
: Now. whenever lie finds a prayer
• which lie wants to add to his roller-,
vtion, wtw read it through and discuss
• lit, then®we decide on what orras
j'ions it would be likely to have the[
■ most meaning for him. Some, of
» course, have (o he adapted in meet !
• his needs.
• : I feel that in changing them I
\ have been able in avoid dampening j
: the religious feeling thar is being,
: awakened in the child, and I hope
■ thus to avert the danger that arises
5| whenever formal prayers are used—
5 that they shnll become a mere me
[Ichanieai repertoire of words.
:l I have always believed that n
{!child’s prayers should he spontaneous;
} and natural, and that if formal pray j
• ers are useil, they should lie ex |
| plained and made to have some real j
• significance.
I I believe too that the child should
• understand that lie mast do his part i
r in having liin prayer answered.
:J One of die prayers which Laddie I
Eihad in his “collection” and which *
'u' has ;k1111itf>fl to h's n «*tln. Is for
use whon his has 'hull ni.. v in going
to play a game.
“But,” said ho win n wo were
discussing it, "wlmt if min of thoj
follows on llio ollior sid prays as
min li as I do?”
Thou I rorallod to him the fact
that "r;oil liolps tiioso who In lp
thoinsolvos," anil together wo summed
up the conclusions, that regular sys
tematic pi'ai'flce would ho needed,
and all the fellows on the winning
team would need to he hravo and
holiest, and always play fair.
I tried to make him see that while
our prayers hnny not always he an
swered in just the same way we
expect, we will, if wo do our part,
always get either that for which we
ask. or something better. In proof
of this I \gca1led his disappointment
last summer at the postponement of
tlie Sunday School pienle, because
of a rainy day. We had the picnic
later on. and we also had a large
quantity of blackberries, which we
would not'have had if the drought
had continued, and wo arc still hav
ing blackberry Jam.
Just as I have tried always lo re
tain my child's confidence, to make
him ever ready to have a “good talk
over” as he enlls it, so I have tried
to make him feel that nothing which
interests him is too small or too in
significant to lie taken to God in
prayer. And just as lie has learned I
to feel that Mother and Bad arei
"good sports” and ran understand'
and forgive his little boyish mis !
lakes, so he is coming to realise!
the greater understanding and ever
ready forgiveness of the “All-Fa
ther.”
Just as the Indian lad when he
went alone into the mountains to fast
and pray (“mine a vision”) was tin-!
consciously setting up in his own
mind the ideal into which ills char-!
after would develop, so is the child I'
who early forms the habit of prayer, j

Regarding the Women’s Jury Act,
the opinion, which was written by
Assistant Attorue.y General W. D.
Riter, went into details. In con
clusion, it said:
"As Congress has not proscribed,
the qualifications of jurors in the
