PRAYER.
Three doors there arc in the temple Whore men go up to pray, And they that wait at the outer gate May enter by either way. Tbero aro pome that pray by u&king; Thcv lie on the [Master* breast. And phiuraing the strife of the lower life, They utter their cry for rest. There are some that pray by seeking; They doubt where their reason fails; But tlieir mind's despair is the ancient prayer To touch the print of the nails. There are some that pray by knocking; They put their strength t<> the wheel, for they have not time for thoughts eublinie; They can. only act what they feel. Father, give eaoh his answer, Ench in his kindred way; Adapt Thy light to his form of night, And grant him hi* needed xlay. —William Watson.
