We say this, that we believe the poor people, and the great masses of our citizens, have no safety except in thesaeredness of the Constitution. That instrument Is all that protects us, and we would be great fools to ratify a constitutional amendment, which virtually gives the Legislature the right to disfranchise any class of citizens whom it might choose.

The object of all these overtures. { | with some slight differences in their forms of' expression, is the same. They desire and re- i I v remiest ibis General Assembly to j Committee to furnish only such tickets as they may want voted, and thus put the ?ot*v to great trouble, if he chooses to vote contrary to their wishes. We hope that the Executive Committee may furnish a sufficiency of tickets, with the allimportant "No" printed thereon. deprived of their Right to Vote. The Camden Journal of last week says: "Three hundred and ten persons in the neighboring county of Sumter are said to Lo disqualified from voting on account ol criminal convictions." "We venture the asscrsion that there are not three hundred and ten persons in the State of South Carolina^ who h?ve been convicted of "treason," "murder," "duelling," or "robbery." And only such persons as have been thus convicted can bo constitutionally deprived of their l ight to vote, It is true that the registra ! establish fully niiti formally what arc called j '"fraternal relations" with the General As-' <sembly of the Presbyterian Church in the !

A Tier the most careful consideration your conunlttee have tn-on j able togive to the weighty matter involved, i they recommend to the Assembly the adop- j tion of the following paper: In order to remove all difficulties in thej I way of that full and formal fraternal corre- j ; spondence tor which, on our part, we are so earnestly desirous, we adopt the following j minute: ^ I That while receding from no principle, we j do hereby decline our regret for, alid villi-[ idrawal of all expressions of our Aseembly which may be regarded as reflecting upon. or |offensive to, the (iener.il Assembly of the j Presbyterian Church in the United States of! !

AVe notice from sotne of our Georgia exchanges, that the subject of taxing money, or cash on hand, is being discussed. As the time for assessing proporty in this Suite is near at hand, we append the following extract from the statutes of the United States which takes pecedence to ' any State law which may be in conflict "with it : SEC. 3701. All stocks, bonds and treasury notes, and other obligations of the Vaited States Khali be exempt from taxation by or under state or municipal or local authority." (See Bank vs SuperVisors. 7 Wall.," 2(5.) "5-113. The words obligation or other security'o!' ?he United States shall be lield to mean a'.l bonds, certificates of inxlebtedneSs, national bank currency, coupons, United States notes, treasury notes' fractional notes, certificate of deposit, biys, checks, or drafts for money, drawn by or upon authorized officers of the United States, stamps, and other representatives of value of whatever denomination v hich may have been or may be Issued under any act of Congress" From this it will be seen that paper money is not taxable at all, and that gold iind silver money is subject to taxation only as so much bullion or valuable jclaimed f?y those who have figured at the isum that there are plenty of room alid abunUiint cause for the crcution of four or five new I comities. One representative is allowed by j , the Constitution to every one hundred and I twenty-fourth part of the whole number of| 11 inhabitants in the State; provided, that if in | j the apportionment of representatives any j county shall appear not to be entitled, from I jits population, to a representative, such I I county shall nevertheless send one represen'tative.'' I Those who know say Hint the formation of I new counties in the upper part of the State, | "by changing the boundaries of any of the. old ones,'1 would be of un<|iir.stlouabIe advan,! t >cc from a political point of view, and that: | the situation is such as fully to warrant im i mediate action in the mutter.

It is also claimed that while the Legislature is i arranging the congressional districts it might j arrange the counties with as good reason and j for equally patriotic purposes. . There is a great deal to be said in favor of a (division of the old counties from a strictly i {economical point ol view.

As will be seen elsewhere in the Prcsi anil Banner, tho Presbyterians North tind South have reconciled tlieir differences and arc now in full accord, and fraternization. As we understand it. tlx Presbyterians South seceded from the Northern Presbyterians on account ol charges o4' l,,isphemy. schism and herosj brought ag-.tlr.st them by the Northerr Presbytwians for the part taken by tin former in the war. After tho acrimony and strife of years overtures have beer made, enmity buried, and they arc now one people. A bettor feeling seems tr fcxist now than ever since the war, between the 'two sections both State ami Ecclesiastical. Tho year of jubilee has come and theso people will continue, wt trust, exponents of that Biblical saying "Behold how these Christians love one another." The Repeal of the Registration Law It is said that an effort will be made a tho oxtra session of the Legislature to repeal tho Registration law, and that tlx opposition comes from Charleston.

Some men will expend a hundred dollars on a farm to lietter advantage than many others live l.linrs that amount. Neces>ily is the mother of contrivances, atid in the long run it often happens that business men may trace many fortunate results In alter years to what then seemed very adveisc circumstance. Of no! other class is this so true as of that great host! of workers the wide-world over, who tire pa- I tienlly turning the furrows, sclatterlug tli? j seeds and gathering the harvests. In mixed; farming so much depends upon the man him-; self that he .should be very capable to conduct j hi>: buxiness.

I planted orchards of ap- j ph's, peaches and pears, a Vineyard and small1 breadths of strawberries and raspberries to market with ve.:etebles and other products. For my cows, I have warm though not pretentions stables, with easy stanchions and standing platforms of plank four feet six inches In length, with drop in rear and without partitions, ail got up inexpensively with my own hands, as have been with all the rest <?f my out buildings inclining, hog-pens, poultry-roosts, vagon-house, carpenter's and blacksmith shops; home-made and rot too costly, but amply serving their different purposes. 1 lie facts of which I merely mention for the encouragement of all farm begin nefs with limited cash capital, but a snrticient capital of mechanical ingenuity. In front of the cows Is a wide entry, where all their feed at all seas-ins Is served to them without waste, and above them are their winter supplies of long fodder. During the winter the short feed of my cows consists of corn meal and wheat bran? three quarts of the former and three ot tire latter, to which is added one pint, and n half of decorticated cotton seed meal, a small quantity of salt, and the whole moistened always with warm water nnd served morning and evening daily.

It is reasonable to presume that a warm mess to a cow is not only more palatable, but agrees better with (he milk secreting Junctions, and that it is better to warm up the poker's slops on a cold morning thmi to break the ice and chill him thiough and through. I don't believe the animal economy is promoted in this way. Quite ofte,. the ration of bran and meals, as previously mentioned, is mixcl with pood wheat or rye straw cut tlno and previously softened by steeping in water. When the straw is not mixed and fed in this way, clover and other hays or good corn fodder, weU cured and its saccharine richness preserved from vinous fermentation by well housing, is given.

Among the most important questions that j 1 will be discussed either in caucus or by the' j Legislature in open session will he the expo- i ; dicncy of creating a number of new counties. ] I According ?o the Constitution each county in ! 1 the state shall contain six hundred and twen-1 of liTillrin' iiiul it ivc tion law attempts to include "larceny . \indcr the head of "robbery," with the evident intention of depriving all persons of their right to vote who may have been convicted of larceny. But this cannot be done in the face of the plain words of the constitution. In law "roboery" and "theft" are entirely distinct offences. "Robbery" is committed by taking the money or goods of another against his will, by violanceby threats,or by putting him in fear. "Theft" is committed by stealth, privately, and no forced interpretation of the word "robbery" can tlio act disfranchise the common thief. Wc do not pretend to say whether the thief should 01 should uot vote, Tim is m>i the question. The question is, is it the duty of the Superintendent of Registra_ tion to refuse a certificate of registration to such citizens to whom the constitution secures the right ? Does the commissioner make himself liable to an action in the United States Court for enforcing the unconstitutional provisions of the Registration law ? This is a matter of no great public concern, but it may be well for the various Superintendents of Registration to investigate the matter before getting that tioublo from which only partizan juries may relieve them. We make the suggestion for what it is worth not caring one cent whether they register all or none of the ex-convicts. As the question will no doubt be settled sooner or later, we merely suggest that it be settled before anybody gets into trouble. Plymouth Pulpit. S _ v s THE USES OF PRAYER. ?

It Is lot meant that a man can pray plants into lis garden. I know a great, many that hftve iitllt houses that they say they prayed it uy. know that there are those who claim that In nswers to prayers of faith means are sent to hem by which to take eare of the sick and lie iu fortunate. As distinguished from ab'sonte prayerlessness, I favor their views; but uokfngatthe matter spiritually and pliyslally I cannot see that the prayer of faith has lone for men, or for bodies of men, that which ! hey were competent to do for themselves by he use of ordinary methods. If there Is the power in prayer to do for men rhat.-they could do for themselves, it is not imply a use of natural law. but It is a viola thiii the knowledgeof the existence of an iii- j' vi^i>>!o 'foil is revealed to them. Thity do not. u know whether there is one or not; to say tlmt j there is none Is to ko beyond the-bound and ) province of their method ; but there is none j tliat is known to to them.

They are righ t judged t by anything that, the eye can see, lh it the ear j can hear or that the hand can handle?by v anything that there is in uncontradictah!c 1 s mat*cr, In other words the test of the exis-l j tenne, the agency and the universality of a j divine spiritual effluence Is not the evidence r which brings to the existence of mutter. The i j question is. Is there an> thing higher than | ion of natural law; i union ks up uie iuuu'iuion on which human Industry stands; it is a iretnl union laziness: unci I shall believe in 1 as soon as I see eminently good men not ray up a hospital,butpray down a mortgage. Vhen I see men lay a.cido the ordinary Instrunent-s on which they depend for overcoming lie dlllicnUles of life, nnd succeed, not hy >rudencc and not by playing on theprop?r trlngsof human mtiure, but simply by prayr: when tlie unction that meet us every lay, and at every turn, can he solved by pray r dlrectlv, Instead oi by patient Investigaion with thought-power, then I shall believe hat secular results can generally be gained >y prayer as n substitute for the employment >f ordinary methods. They cannot be so rained, and It is well that they cannot. jf| ,hey could, it would make the whole world a jet of miserable, idoient tide-waiters. It vould demoralize the race. The best thing that weknowof in life is that f a man Is lazy lieshall want bread. Ho that ,vlll not work shall not eat; nnd when a man joes hungry it is a testimony that God is true :o his laws, and that the man Is suffering as u violator of those laws. One of the best things :o stir up men. to educate them, and to bring nit the manhood hi them in distinction from heir animalhood, is the action of these laws, suffering is benignant. If we would sec it in its real character It would be sweeter tons :lian a mother's face in the darkness of night, stitiering Is not what we have been aeons mutter. The question l", is men; iiii.i (iiiiik | ^ higher thnn matter? Arc there no evidences j, other then those which belong to the senses ? ; t Is It presumably true that.

Of course no man can go toOod with j, nny sense of prayer unless he believes that he f is.

All disorders thut *prlnif from the depressions or tho aberrations jf the nervous system may be more or less temporarily removed, and sometimes permanently, by influences which involve the stimulation and revival of the nervous cenlers; but I do not believe that any prayers a ill ever remove the pains and penalties that, uttend the transgressions of physical law. Prayer is not meant to remove the consetiuences of law that have been violated. I do not believe prayer to be a reward of delicious ilreamlnK, of devout idolence, or of Impecunious beneve denco. J believe in prayer; but I believe it to be part and parcel of the ceneral system in which spiritual and natural laws are harmoniously blended together. How it works In the midst of all the complexities of this world Is what wc have not yet come to understand. This fact is not an insol liable difficulty to my mind; for Row little do we yet know of the mind of inon although there has been so much of it in the world lor these thousands of years ! How little do we know rospeetlnz It scientifically! The Knower is the least known of anything. When we con? I., i,o above iill the infirmities ni men s know-n-u^r, lie d ff In res that the utterances of prayer . j bring lo tlie soul c.f man tno Inspiration of | God, the divine thought aiM fueling, that , I they move the soul, that they Inspire it, and , I that God, instead of specially answering ( I prayers that inny spring out of ignorance. , I answers the need, going back of the request , t'tho thins that Is really needed, lie does J as every parent does. When an uneasy child comes and asks l!s mother that It may have this or that, and she knows that another , thhig will bring the desired relief, she denies ihe request in order to comply with the j nature of that request. So the Spirit helps 'our infirmities.' We know 1101 how to pray , as we ought, and the Spirit makes Intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. This language is poetical; but I suppose there Is a great scheme of Invisible purposes being carried on above us, Including every man, in which Ihe divine nature Is taking care of and nursing men; and I suppose he is more tender than any parent or any mother; and I suppose It is governed not by the special Ignorance or knawiedge of those whom it concerns, but by the larger knowledge of God himself. What, then, is prayer, the discussion of which is to-day of so much Interest to all thinking men ? lu Its fullest and largest view It Is the rising of human thought and feeling intoconsclous communion with God. Now, the rising of any feeling or desire or thought into the presence of God may lake take on ti hundred forms, Just as your convetsalion with any person may take take 011 a hundred forms. It may be Viuestlon ; It may bo answer; it may be Siucr wnai inu (wviuu unuu iniiDi UT ... . transcendent superiority, the question Is, how does It.come In contact with men's minds? and in whnt WMy docs it work out the re-ults of prayers?

Wc talk ot the PivlneSpirit; but the Divine Spirit is, at present, so far above any of the lines of our knowledge llmt we cannot understand his nature nor Ills methods. Consider, then, that whatever may be the altitude in which divine sovereignty works In answering prayer, the highest conception, of prayer Is Intercourse. The very backbone of divine government In this world points toward the development of men out of tlieiraninial conditions Into spiritual beings; and prayer works in the direction of such development. It lifts man hitrher, equips him, stimulates him, unfolds him; and. whether or not the thing uthlch is asked is given, more Ihnn a tliousannd times its equivalent Is slven in (lie awakening of theSpirlt. TheSplrit helpeth our lnflrniailes. We know not what to pray for; but the Spirit prays for us and in us. I think that the main end anil drift of pray, er is to develop the spiritual nature of men. It does not interfere with, nor preclude, physical benefit. It may be said to he the indirect fAciilt r\f nnminn?lan wlt.li suggestion ; It may be wit; it may ue argument; It may be solicitation ; or It may bp the communion o( your thouchts with another person's. Prayer in Its larger sense Is that act of a man by which he comes into the presence of God, and, as it were, thinks unto nlm and feels unto him ; anil It may run through a long range. It may be an net by which a man's temporal condition merely comes Into his thought; it may be an act In which a man's life as a citizen as a merchant, as a mechanic, as a worker comes Into bis I thought; it may bean act in which theeleva| Hon of a man s thought to that which is hiiihcstin its spiritual nature may take hold }-of the present of the futui;e. | I need not say to you that the noblest firm ! of Intercourse between two souls does not have respect to the lowest things. If I meet a great nature I do not talk to him at.out shoes and shoestrings, about hooks and eyes, about pine and rcidlis. abrut debt niifi taxes, about ribbons and Mraw bonnets about silks about, fractious neighbors, or anything of the sort. These things are all very nice in their place : but I do not talk about them when I meet a congenial person who is spiritualized in his thoughts and teeliiiKS. There area thousand and one grievances of life I hat I do not even talk in respect to intellectual matters when I rise to the highest plane, It Is said that when Carlylc and Ktncrson When you pray to God. nnd w hen his saints everywhere, of every name, pray to him, tlie petition rl?es. and the divine effluence goes forth, bearing upon all the hearts of men, n?>1 by the use ol natural laws, and ttotagnlnsl them. Ood influences men In Httswer to their petitions so that either the thing askfcd fur, or something heller, comes to pass. Seek not then so much to know the mystery of visible philosophy; seek rather to know the Lord, to trust lilm, to rest upon his name to buthe In his power, and to believe that though wc know not what to ask for as w? ought, yet asking Is transmuted through the hands of the Spirit, and when itcomes. as ii were, to appear before God. it Is as itshoulo be. God Is a better Judge than you are. and 11 Is not in vain that you seek him in prayer. Synopsis of tlic Rogisf ration nnd Election Bill. Section* 1. Every male citizen of theUultod States, of the age of twenty-one years and up wards, not laboring under the di abiliiiej named In the Constitution, without distictloii of race or color or former condi tion, who shall have been resident of the State for one year nnd in the county in which lie Oder to voti for sixty davs next preceding any general election, shall be entitled to vote: Provided I hut 110 person, while kept in an alms house or asylum, or of unsound mind.orcontlned in any public prison, or who shall have been convicted of treason, murder, robbery of the?oo'!s or chattels of another with or without violence, whether taken from the person or otherwise, or of dueling, shall be allowed to vote, Skc. 2. All electors of the State shall be rcg met they spent one wiioic evening wunmn u light, talking of what (Joil was. This sld.'i ol tlie grave 1 would give more to have heard that conversation than any other. What a treat it would have been to have heard the Interchange of thought between these two great thinkers who sat without a spectator or witness and talked in their slnccrst and deepest inoods respecting God ! In our intercourse with our friends we feel that we have had trne communion when we | have risen up into the highest realm?the I realm of the heart, of the imagination and of I the reason dealing with supernal tilings. We feci tiiut we have grasped our friends, and that | they are ours.only In the communion ofthose transcendent moments. Now in the realm of prayer there Is communion with God respecting the turf and the plow, the raiti and the sun. food, raiment, all things which he knows that we have need of There is such a thing as having communion with God respectingour cares, our duties and otir labors in life. Hut the 1 ighest form o: communion, which rises to the Interchange <if love and admiration and adorntlou, takes in the spirit, the ctlluenee. of et<*rnal life. Of this kind of prayer there is the least; and of the other, which Is the most Imperfect, there is the nio?t, and there has been of necessity, in 1 lie unfolding of the human race. The fact is indisputal le that one may rise Into the conscious presence of God. You may say that It Is imagination 1 say so too. The best part of the reason is imagination. Reason is tliecamllestlck. but Imagination Is I the candle that bin lis In 4t.. They snouui work together. The Imagination without reason Is but a vapor; and reason without imagination is like a world without an atmosphere. The two .together produce the isierea as uereinaiier pivviucu; >mu u? |?;?son shiill be allowed to vote any election hereafter lo be held unless registered as here in required. Sec. !. On or before the first day of March next, and on or before thesame day In every second year thereafter, the governor sha'l appoint, by and with the advice and consent ol the Senate, if In session, and If not In session, subject to the approval of the Senate at it* next session, and subject to the reinovatby the Governor, by and with the advice audconsent of the Senate,one competent and discreet person in each county who shall be a qualified voter thereof, and who shall hold I.is oltlce at the county seat, who shall be known as Ihe Supervisor of Registration of such county, and whose ihity It shall be to supervise the registration of such county as here in Rpcclfled, ThesaidSupervisor of Registration shall keep a record of all his oftldla! acts and proceedin us. The term of his office shall be for two years from the date of his appointment; tic shall continue In office until his successor shall be appointed and shall qualify, and he shall not be eligible to any other olllce during the term for which lie is appointed The (iovernor shall have the authority tc appoint a Iieputy Supervisor In case of ihelnability of the Supervisor to act; who when so appointed shall have all the powers and tie charged with thedutlcsof tlieSupervisor.and shall receive five pollars per diem when aetu icmiuibiwu ill Mil It'll (.ill; uigut-i*!. come to man. I)o you (ell ino that when I I rice into the conscious presence of <i? <1 I rls?f> j simply Into itie realm of the imagination? There may not be certainty of the divine I presence to a mere philosopher; but thore Is to a Christian?to a spiritual man. Such certainty belongs to the very highest human experiences. In the intersphertng of the hearts of two lovers Is there not as much reality as there is In arithmetic? There is a school ol philosophers who believe in the alembic, the yardstick and the gallon measure, but who do not believe there is anything In the sphere of human cognition that is not ponderable and measurable. I hold that the grandest realm, the realm most populous of truth, though the least explored or exnlorable, lies In the direction of the reason. The act of my imagination under such circumstances T consider to be Infinitely higher than the perceptions of my bodily senses would be if I saw (?od as lie is, or as lie was Incarnated. To have seen him thus would not have been so high an act of communion as to know him. ft is a general fact that prnyer has been developed throughout the human race In the proportion In which the human race has ascended to Its highest reaches, and in which the minds of men have Increased In scope. In sensibility, and In fineness and In richness. The largest men, men of the most spiritual genius, have ulways tended to bathe themselves In the consciousness of a divine Being, not alone among the Israelites or Christians, but among pagans as well; for there have | been men who have worshipped the true (iod ?ll.? UII1|JIWJ ru The Governor ftinll nlso appoint two Assistant Supervisors of Election who shall serve without com pension, who shall sit with the Supervisor of Election In the determination ot ail eases of contested registration in which the Supervisor shall refuse to register the applicant; the three Supervisors of Registration snail sit for as many days, beginning on the second Tuesday in July, as may be necessary to hcarand determine all c^ise>[in which registration may be refused any applicant In such county. Skc\ 4. The Secretary of State shall, by (ho 1st March, Anno Duuiini 1882. cause a sufficient number of registration booksand blanks to be prepared so th.it there shall be two ol said books for each preeinet in each county, wiiich books shr>ll be ruled In columns, with proper headings, so as to Indicate the name, ace, occupation.andplaceof resideneeof each elector, with a separate column on the right side of the page lor such entries as may be necessary. Sec. 5. Afler the approval of this Act, the Supervisor of lleuistiaiion. In the months ol May and June next, shall make a full and complete registration of all qualified voters, in the following manner: lleshall give three weeks' notice of the timesand places of registratioh, by advertising In one or more county papers, or by posting in a public place In each voting precinct, where no paper is published in the county. The time for registration shall not be less than one nor moro than two days at ea<;h registration precinct. Immediately after he shall open ills books at the county seat, to cot reel errors in registration, and tn register such electors as failed to register at their respective precincts, Mud who shall then and there present themselves for that purpose, entering the names of such voters in ius book | under false names, not ocing an:e u> rear me hUsk oU' front the kernel. Taking the world through, the tendency has been to so develop human nature as that It should rise Into the conscious presence of (!od. Pra> cr,therefore, or the reaching out of the soul after communion wilh something unspeakably higher than Itself, that Is perfect In emotion, and perfect In beauty, may be said to be a trait In liuman nature that Is least developed at the bottom and most developed at the top. More than this, the experience of great and noble men has not led thetn to doubt- the efficacy, the beauty, and the necessity of prayer as the very breath of their souls. In other words, the great moral geniuses among mankind, after having found themselves drawn up toward God, through changes of condition. In times of prosperity or in times of adversity, i:i Joy or In sorrow, have not fallen hack from this communion, saying that It is fruitless. On the other hand, the conviction of these men, as a class, has been that It was worth a man's while to pray, though the blessing asked for did nor, always JoMow, and though they could not tell why it did not follow. If It be said,as nn objection to this, that the I lowest natures,as well as the highest, have always prayed, my reply is that this latent tendency to hold communion with the Highest works In the sphere of physHil and material j wants as well as in the snhere of trie spiritual I and immaterial. Prayer in this lower sphere j was the first germination. In the higher I sphere it Is more, advanced. In one of these spheres it is communion; In the other it Is ! mostly petition. What I mRy call vulgar for their proper precincts. rti mu tuuu of the registration hereinafter provided for, the Supervisor of Registration shall revise the list; and in case it he made lo appear to his satisfaction that there Is a quail tied voter In a precinct who has failed to register, lie may, upon such evidence as he may think necessary, in his discretion, permit the name ol such voter to be placed on the said list, and issue a certitleate therefor. That for the purpose of registration each township as now laid out and defined be and Is hereby declared a registration precinct, and in those counties in which there are 110 such townships, that the narlsh as formerly known and defined be alid Is hereby declared such precinct and in the cities of Columbia and Charleston each ward shall be a registration precinct. Sec. 0. When the said registration shall have been completed, the books shall be closed, and not re-opened for'registratlon, except for the purposes and as herein mentioned until after tlie next pcneial election for State officers. After the Raid next general election the said books shall be re-npened for registration of such persons as shall thereafter beeome entitled to register 011 the first Monday in each month, to and until the first Monday of July, inclusive, prececding the following general election, upon which last named day the same shall be eloscd and not prayer expends Itself merely with asking; for ilie most part, for current Messing);?fooil, raiment, household mercies, good times, etc.; and that, too, vety largely, without any thought of what is thesupreine end of being? "salted, I'crfccled manhood. It may be said that tlie fact that answers to prayers are so rare would seem to militate against the nollon that Goil hears and answers prayer. Wo know not what we should pray for as we ought, and our prayers are like I arrows shot heavenward at n venture in the | night, nlr, A man, hearing flying fowls at hiiilnljiht migrating to I he colder regions of j the north, or returning to the milder regionst of the south, goes out In the darkness and | draws ills bow at a venture, and he says, "Archery is a folly." Yes. midnight archery I ]8. Archery thai has no aim, ami that is imperfect. Is. He<atis-e, then, prayer docs not j bring bread, or clothes, docs it not bring any-1 thing? Is not the body more than meat?) '] and is not the spirit more than the body ? If j I prayer brings spiritual refreshment to man ' | that is ii! the body, am I not remunerated? j Are we to make no account of what prayer] has done for the spiritual nature? In my own personal experience I have prayed aj ; hundred times for things which, thank God, i j I never got! I have lived long enough to see ! tlinf I iln not. nnilft-Klnnd inv OWtl Wants. ! lions which he rejects, and report the same for hearing before the Assistant .Supervisorsus licrebclbre required. skc. 8. Tiie Supervisor of Registration shall [ielerinlne as to I lie legal qualifications of any applicant for registration liy summary process, required oath, evidence, or both, it he rteem proper, subject to revision by the Assistant Supervisors and himself In all cases where he has refused to register an applicant. Krom the decision of the Supervisors of Registration, any applicant who is rejected shall liav* the right to a review thereof by the Circuit Court, provided he give notice In wrlttiii!; to the Supervisor of his application for inch review, and the grounds thereof, within live days from tiie date of ills rejection, and commence his proceedings within ten days from the service of said notice. Skc. U. Any person; coming ot age, and becoming mutinied as an elector, may appear be-, i There have lieen eases In which not to give j ] me what I asked for was better than to have j j given it. ' To plead that answers io prayer nro rare is ; I simply to plead that answers are not given to; foolish prayers.
