OBADIAH POOR DEVIL'S
PRAYER.
Obadlah Poordevil was one ot
those easy going people who attended
to his own business and had but little
to say to any one. His education
was acquired by Jerks in one of the
little old-fashioned log school houses,
a sample of which we find yet
in some of the new settlements of
the south-western states. He seldom
attended church, but when he did he
wore such a solemn look that it excited
the suspicion that he possesseo
religion. Acting upon this suspicion
one day old Deacon Twentypercent
invited him to pray. Obediah said
he didn't have words enough to pray,
they must excuse him. But old Deacon
Twentypercent and Deacon Skinflint
told him he didn't have to have
words, the Lord would furnish them;
all he had to do was to get down
on his kneeB and open his heart and
the Lord would put words in his
mouth to express his feelings.
"For the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaketh,' said Twentypercent.
Obedlah said he'd try it a
ltck anyhow and having placed himself
in the proper attitude he poured
out his heart In the following
manner:
"O, Lord, they tell me that You
will give me words to express the
feelings of my heart. O, Lord, send
'em down right now for I've got a
lot to say. O, Lord, I'll tell you who
I am and maybe you won't want to
listen to me, for I am poor and haven't
got much education. I'm Just
plain' Obedlah Poordevil. I haven't
been a very bad sinner nor a very
good Christian. O, Lord, maybe I'm
wrong: nearly everybody is going to
the devil or else I am. Maybe I

cent's. O, Lord, I want to know
about a whole lot of things; I want
to know who you made this earth for
anyhow? My Rible says this "earth
Is the Lord's and the fulness thereof
but old Deacon Twenty-percent claims
to own half of this township and us
Poordevlls that do the. work have to
pay them for the fullness thereof. O,
Lord, I want to know if he pays it
over to You?I don't think he does,
for I seen him sell it and put the
