Booth was sit ting ia familiar converse with a circle of friends when the request was made, and received it iu solemn si lence, the odor fading from his cheek, while It was wonderful to watch tbe varying emotions of bis expressive ant ©ounce. Slowly and reverently be rose, then stood silent sad awed as in the felt presence of the Supreme. At last the pale lips parted, and the ripe, mellow voice syllabled forth the words: “Our Father who art ia ivea ” aad through to tbfi end, wir.lv. a *nl*«nn rvttW (to tkrilled present were all unused to pray. He ceased, and again silence laid its im press oa every lip aad tongue. For rcral minutes no one spoke or moved, each heart seemingly rapt in its owa emotions, aud little inclined to communicate them to others. AA length the Christian gentleman who had made the request thanked the actor, and there were tears in his eyes while he added, “I am aa old ud now, and every day, from my yooug boy hood to the present time, I repeated that prayer, bat I never folly comprehended it till now. Can y ou really enter into its wondrous depths f* “No,” said Booth, sadly, “1 supponr I do not; that is, not as a real Christian does. Yet for thirty years I have pondered those most sublime of aU utterances, unfolding daily from their marvelous oompre benaiveoesa, new beauty and force, sod still lam by no mesas satisfied with my success in rendering this prayer of prayers.” How aad that, with such eoocep troii* of truth, the heart should re main uutouched. How near the portal one may advance, and still fail to rater the sacred precincts. How often or how forcibly God’s Spirit may have spoken to this gifted man, while, iu the exercise of his vocation, be read and jKmdered, as a literary gem, those sweet utterances of the God mau, we may not know; but in the deep emotion that years of famil iarity had foiled to quench, we can mi rely discern the strivings of the heavenly messenger, as the divine authorship of this wonderful prayer.
