"A tourist, in climbing an Alpine summit, finds himself tied by a strong rope to his trusty guide, and to three of his fellow-tourists. As they skirt a perilous precipice he cannot pray, ‘Lord, hold up _my_ goings in a safe path, that _my_ footsteps slip not, but as to my guide and companions, they must look out for themselves. ' The only proper prayer in such a case is, ‘Lord, hold up _our_ goings in a safe path; for if one slips all of us may perish. "――H. CLAY TRUMBULL.
The pious Quesnel says that "God is found in union and agreement. Nothing is more efficacious than this in prayer."
