He was orraid. He was just a boy

he grew more agitated.
-I am net strong enough for it," he
to himself. -and yet I have prayed

my pledge. Wby has not God enswer-

thought nested into hie mind like a
ray of light and illuminated his prob-

that God Ines not given me strength?
It is not for the thne of waiting but
for the action that I have asked his
help. I will find out by trying."
The great moment had come. He,
the beginner, was on his feet, and it
was as if some secret door in his soul
had opened, through which poured a
flood of prayer. It was not a long
Prayer; it was simple, perhaffs here
ane there it was crude; but it had
burning sincerity that everyone felt.
So it was with this youth, who has
sante become a most effective minister
of christ, learned one of the greatest
lessons of life—that God's power
comes when faith' is perfeetea in ac-
tion. "Perth without works is dead."
