WARNER Speaks at Congregational Congress in New Hampshire, on Importance of Prayer. At the second Congregational con- gress in Manchester, N. H., on Tues- day, Judge Edgar M. Warner of Put- nam was one of the speakers, his top- ic being To Restore the Habit of Pray- er by Study. Judge Warner said in part: Study of prayer is the thought I would emphasize. The wireless tele- graph operator must study electricity, get his machine in tune, and carefully comply with all conditions. Just so with messages to Heaven, We must learn to get into tume with the Infin- ite. Why should we learn to pray? Because Christ taught prayer and be- cause it Is the method of God to con- vert the world. Make it a chosen elec- tive, no longer a forgotten secret. If we have a study we sheuld have a teacher. Christ is the only Teacher and the Bible the text book. I feel quite sure that we should treat this subject of prayer with utmost freedom and reverent familiarity. I have great sympathy for the settiement child, who, when the Teader sald “Let us pray,” responded _cheerfully at once, “Yes, let's” The Yale ball player who prayed God to help him win the game and after victory for his slde mod- estly told of his prayer, giving God thanks, is very much to my lking. The 'great object of prayer ls the conversion of the world, Intercessory prayer is the vital breath of the live Christian. It ls & great thing to pray for another soul and it is an impera- tive duty. Do we have this kind of prayer to any extent in our New Eng- land churches? How many members of your church spend a half-hour each cay In gecret prayer? Churches are not growing. ~We cannot shut our eyes to the situation. Four hundred churches in New England, about one- quarter of the whole number did not receive one soul Into their membarship in 1907 on confession. In 1906 total membership in 1,644 churches was 255, §14. In 1007 additions reported were 9,036, 56 that it took 28 members one whole year to add one soul to the fellowship—think of that. Surely that crowd of 255,000 Christians have not been praying as we should, The need of prayer was never mors urgent than at present, Materfalism rampant on all sides. apathy in the church and ageressive evil everywhere. The pow- ers of darkness can only be overcome and defeated by earnest wrestling in prayer by the whole church for the help and strength of the Almighty. The speaker briefly discussed three kinds of prayer: I—Secret prayer, the source of all other kinds of honest prayer. TL—Family prayer, the usual result of secret prayer.
