The condition of the church may be very accurately gauged by its prayer meetings. So is the prayer meeting a grace-ometer, and from it we may judge of the amount of divine working among a people. If God be near a church, it must pray. And if He be not there, one of the first tokens of His absence will be slothfulness in prayer.

We are all at times unconscious prophets.

If I knew I had 25 years left to live, I would spend 20 of them in preparation.

To a hungry man, Christ is very lovely when He has a loaf of bread in His hand.

I am certain that to preach the wrath of God with a hard heart, a cold lip, a tearless eye, and an unfeeling spirit is to harden men, not benefit them.

We may expect answers to prayer, and should not be easy without them any more than we should be if we had written a letter to a friend upon important business, and had received no reply.

None are more unjust in their judgments of others than those who have a high opinion of themselves.
