Excerpt: ...were from the levity of the witling, contributed something to the efi'ect of his public devotions. The question has been asked by more than one distinguished minister, since Dr. Payson's death, whether he left behind him any written forms of prayer. So far from this, it is believed he never wrote a prayer. There are, indeed, interspersed throughout his private writings and sermons, numerous ejaculations, and supplicatory paragraphs; but nothing intended exclusively as a prayer. His " confession and form of covenant," in a preceding chapter, bears the nearest resemblance to a prayer of any thing, which has been discovered, from his pen; and will give a better idea, than any description, of the leading impression which his prayers produced on the hearers, namely--the infinite disparity which exists between God and the creature--at the same time that it brings to view numerous particulars, in which this contrast may be seen. " God is in heaven, and we upon earth"--was the great truth, which stood forth with distinguished prominence in his invocations, confessions, pleadings, intercessions, and ascriptions. His prayers conformed with singular felicity to his own definition of the exercise, which makes it--" a kind of devout poetry, the whole subject-matter of which is furnished by the heart, and the understanding is only allowed to shape and arrange the effusions of the heart, in the manner best adapted to honor the Being, to whom prayer is addressed, and to excite and direct the devotional feelings of his worshippers." But a thousand forms, of his prayers even, could never teach another to pray like him. He neither found for himself, nor could he mark out for others, a " royal road" to the throne of grace; and the "gift of prayer," for which...

As in poetry, so in prayer, the whole subject matter should be furnished by the heart; and the understanding should be allowed only to shape and arrange the effusions of the heart in the manner best adapted to answer the end designed. From the fullness of a heart overflowing with holy affections, as from a copious fountain, we should pour forth a torrent of pious, humble, and ardently-affectionate feelings; while our understandings only shape the channel, and teach the gushing streams of devotion where to flow, and when to stop. In such a prayer every pious heart among our hearers will join. They will hear a voice and utterance given to their own feelings. They will hear their own desires and emotions expressed more fully and perspicuously than they could express them themselves. Their hearts will spring forward to meet and unite with the heart of the speaker. The well of water which our Savior assures us is in all who drink of his Spirit, will rise and burst its way through the rubbish of worldly cares and affections which too often choke it; and the stream of devotion from many hearts will unite and flow on in one broad tide to the throne of Jehovah; while, with one mind and one mouth, minister and people glorify God. Such was the prayer of Ezra, and such its effects: --' And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, amen, with lifting up of their hands; and they bowed their heads, and worshiped the Lord with their faces toward the ground.' "Leading the devotion of our people in this man ner will preserve us from another fault, less important indeed, but not less common than that which has just been mentioned, and which, in part, is occasioned by it. It consists in uttering the...
