The fcllowiug is takon from the Cincinnati Commercicad’s review of = baok written by the Bev. W. W. Patton, of this city. on the subject of prayer aud ity answer. Altor rofersring to the miraculous answers to prayer recorded in the Beriptures thie reviewer says : We come to modern cases at once. The first are in- stances in which the temperd wants of fndividuals ‘have been supplied in answer to prayer. Thero was the mother of Dorothes Trudell. a pious woman, with § s drunken busband and numercus cntldren, snd whenever she was without bread or clothing, or the means to buy them, ehe simply prayed, and somebody came in with just what ehe wanted, Thete also was Henry Young Btilling, a noted oculist at the Court of the Duke of Baden, znd a friend of Gosthe. When he wis studying to be s physicizn, be pruyed to be directed to the best uni- veruity, and Lo was ied, says Dr. Patton, * by a singu- L.r ocoarreace to Btrasburg.” He started for Blras- burg, sud reached there with a doliar in his et Ho was # strangor in » strange Lind, but prayer pre- vazied, for, as he was walking and }riyiug for money, s merchzut frow his town happened wony, and, find- ing out lus win', gave him $su.

And vo it went ull through bis uni- vernty ex1pationce : whenever Stiding was in want of sickeid, tugg rcled 1n, o8 it were, 0 wuswer to bis prayere. Querlin Coifege owes it esstence to zai awees 10 prayer; for, according to a letter from the Iriduw'vx 18 founder, wleneser. iu its early diyy, ana struggling ag.ivet popular prejudices, funds w re :.nwd to earry it on, the fuuader of it would cali the rex en togeiher for a scavon of praves, and the ame. | +'Ihs closet was thelr ouly bank, aud Dr. ¥uttou dtes seversl instances fn which prayer for ruin Lrought the much-needed refrosument o the parched laud, Dr. Enoch Pond, D, D., tells of 2 se- vere urought in a part of War. ester Cousity, Mass., last summer, Tbe Kev.

What makes this «ase more anazing is that 1t was sent by 8 Mr. Shuferdt, “who koew potking of her want, aud who bad never sent unything belore, and ueser has sinca” Wishing to givo s marrage-present toa @lri who n0ad lvl with lier, **oho fized upon a certain sum,” says Dr. Pattoz, a8 apyropriate, snd then seked the Lord for e mou- er.” T s short time a fomale city missionary came 1D, 80d * turded her that exact sum.” Another case is rJated of an Obio lady, who was in grest distress on ccount of “ pecuniary pressure.” Bus prayed for beZp, and scon after carae a lester informing ner that & odistant relative had died snd 128t Ler 35 0. Whethar .o deuth way arTanged to enable her to got the 3500 ut {e exact moment wuon §: wau most noed:d, is noi #tuted. A home missionay in Tilinols wns ‘mmilarly roeved by an unexpected remitt .uce of § 5 from Phi- adelj hiz, * But we uced not multdply instances, Dr. Patton’s book abourds fu them. a3 also 1n cases wiers there w28 physical healing in answer to prayer. The Dorothes Trudull, whoee mother, 28 wa hava mentioned, wes alwaya supplied with money anu tuings whebever she prayed for them, was attacked Ly malignant emzll-pox, and_hecled in zaswer to her mother’s prayer. Dorothes hersslf wzs a0 succestfal in_heuling the sick by prayer that her house Le- czmo hespital, and patients” overtiowed into adjoin- ing hiouses, which were purchase snd converled into Buspdtals, ' She was prosecuted for pratu.ing as a plysician, but beat Der enemios fu ths courts. She cuied lunacy, epilepsy, end all manner of diseases, by snointing Lef patients with ofl, Lsying her bands on thez aud praying over them. Dr. Pation admits that_something wus due to good nurang, good air, wholesome diet, and otlier bygienlc treatent, but k3 avidently holds them in low estcom compared with Dorottiea’s oll and prayer, a8 remedwal agencies, Thero is 2150 Miss Jana C. Miller, of Uberlin, who, tor taking modicine and hobbitug zbout on crutches for seurs, growig dally worse, folowed Snak- apeare’s adice, tarew,physic to the dogs, and be- 200k Lerssif to prager. “The, momant ahe betleved she shoula be healed auie was healed, and had uo cocasion for crutcbes during the reat of her Life, The case of 3 clnld is rolated, who suffered from sciatic rheumatism, Tha leg shruuk sway, and finally she became helpless, and 13 seemod shs must die. Taen the mother prayed over ber in full f.ith.

The case of Mre. Elien Ciark Sberman,wifo of the Rev, N odist er, who was adticted with spinal troutle, eerious femals dises and several other complaints, is also given. She pras- ‘@l for recovery, and Jesus himself appeared to her, and told her, a8 He did the Line when 0a esrth 2,000 years g0, to ** Bise up and walk,” which she itnmedistely Qid, This case was in all the papers two years ago, and'made a prodiglous sensation. Inatances io whica bad cases of cancer, neuralgla, consumption, heart dis- ease, scarlet fever, and indeod nearly every other form of Luman ill, have been promptly and completely cured in anawer to prayer are quoted by Dr. Patton. In cus instance young woman at Ocean Grove healod the Rev. S. H.

He not only shows by numerous tastas Tuat tewporal wants are sapplicd and phyeizal laws chunged {u their operation, both aa to our own bodies and the outward world in auswer to prayer, but eiu- Ders are awakened snd converted, escn at distant points, In suswer to the petitions of good men and ‘women; phyeical habits are overcome, appeiitos are changed, iuteiloctual conditions altered, unaccountatdy 10 tlie individusls themselves, and solely in anawer o the prayers of othern. .

THE MORAL L2W ABROGATED] 2 OB, NG-LAWISIL To the Editor of Tne Chicinn Sribunes Cuicaco, Jan. 8.—Through your courtesy, I bave discussed bLriotly the ocial and spiritual ‘Philosopby of the moral las 204 the question of its *modification,” I ask permiseiun to dis- cuss the much-wovted question of no-lawism, or the moral law abrogated. [L 18 oltes asserted that the law of the ten command:nents was Jewish, and expired with the Jewish theocracy. that Cbrist took it out of the way, nailing it to the croes, and that Christians aze not uoder law bus under grace. In conncetion with these as- sertions, it i8 somo shat siugular that tie peo- ple,are exhorted to fear God und keep H.s com- mandments as the whole daty of man. When this propoution is reduzed from ita technical expregsion to its practical application, it meacs that only one of the ten commaudments is an- oulled. It is geseral iu the propusition, zod special in its application. A class of pas- sages i3 used to prove the propo- rit.on that fail to counect tue moral law wita the question of ubiogutiou, bus do refer directly to the Jevish titval.” Those wiio decinre $hs moral law atrogated ty Chiist tin it neceesary slso to asrert that the authority thas sbrogatod the whole re-cuacted at least nine-tenths of sl thac was abrogated. as if by oo ufter-thought He cor- rected an tuadvertence In the abrogauon.

FREE METHCDISTS. WIAT TIEY FROFESS AND BELIETE. To ths Editor of The Clacago Tridune : Camicaco, Jan. 8.~They are s body of Chria. tians who profess to be io earpest to get to Heaven. They do pot believe tnat either God or tas Bible has chauged to aocommodate tha fashiouable tendoncies of the age. They sok emnly protest aga:nst the union of the Church and the world. The condiriouns of salvation, as thoy teach, are the same now that they wers 1,800 years azo. He who would be a Chnistian in reality, as well 88 io pame, must deny him- golt, and take up his cross daiy and follow Jesus, He wust come out from the worid and bo ecparate, aud touch not the uncieao thing. First—Io di ne they aro Metuodista. Toey beliave in the doctrine of tue Hoiy Lrivity, in & general azonement, fu the necessicy Of tue Dew irth, 10 the Wituess of the Spurit, and io fawrt tevards and pummhments. They inwist that ib 18 the dutv aud priviieze of every believer to be sauctifies whotlv, and to be preserved biameless unto the cominz of the Lora Jesus Clrist. Every one who 1 received into 1all 6.0~ nection either professea to enjoy that perfect Jove which cas.s out fear, or prumises dilizently to seek quul he obtansit. - ‘Secomi—They look unon practical godliness s the nover-faling tesult of & genmibe reigious experieuca.

The Golien Rale. they nold, applies equslly to the colored 28 to ths race. Third—The government s not aristocratc, but the msmbers have an equal voice with the
