TTLE GEORGE'S PRAYER.

A clergyman writes us these incidents:

"I knew a poor family whose son George, four or five years old, was
accustomed to pray. They lived five or six miles from neighbors, and, at
times, were quite destitute. One day, as little George observed his
mother weeping over their destitution, he said, "Why, mother, don't cry
any; we shall not starve; God will send us something to eat, I know He
will. I've just been praying, and asked Him to." The little fellow just
as much believed God would send them food, as if he had asked a reliable
neighbor and obtained his promise to supply their wants. In a day or two
after this, some friends living at a distance and knowing they were
poor, took them the welcome surprise of a wagon-load of substantial
material for food and other comforts. The little boy grew up to be a
Christian minister, and, about a year ago, on inquiry, his uncle told me

A PRAYER FOR A HORSE.

"My horse died, and, after traveling through the snow-drifts to my
appointments, till I was lame, half sick, and unfit for service--as I
had not means to purchase a horse, I thought of quitting the work and
going to teaching, and laid the matter before God, in prayer; soon after
which, some person at a distance, who heard that I had lost my horse,
without my saying a word about it, raised the means by which I procured
another."

A PRAYER FOR A WIFE.

"When I believed it would be well for me to seek a companion for life, I
asked of God direction in making a wise choice, and that, in a matter of
so much importance to me and others, I might meet with success or
_hindrance_, as my heavenly Father knew best. He led me to a choice and
marriage, which I have not since regretted."

CHURCH TROUBLES QUELLED.

"I might mention a dozen instances in which church troubles were
gathering, and trials between members appeared certain, when all my
tactics failed, and the wisdom of brethren was of no avail; my last
resort was to ask God to send help and deliver from the threatened
evil--and in ways that no one could foresee, complete deliverance came."

A MINISTER'S SUPPLIES FALL SHORT.

"When very much in need of funds to procure supplies for a coming
Winter, all expedients failed; then I asked God for assistance, when,
unexpectedly, a friend in California sent me a little package of gold
dust, which I sold, at once,
