Prayer: A DYING REQUEST

A wicked young man was dying. As he lay upon his bed of death, in fearful agony, he said to his father, "Father, I will soon be gone. I want to make one request of you. When I am gone I want you to bury me between the house and the barn."

"Why," said the father, "there is no grave yard there, why do you wish this?"

The young man replied, "Papa, you know that you pass from the house to the barn a number of times every day and as you pass my grave you may say, 'There lies my dead and damned boy who never heard his father pray.'" God pity prayerless parents.
