None but praying leaders can have praying followers. A praying pulpit will beget praying pews. We do greatly need pastors and evangelists who will set the saints to this business of praying. We are not a generation of praying saints. Who will restore this breach? The greatest will he be of reformers who can set the Church to praying.

Prayer puts God's work in his hands-and keeps it there.

If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day.

A severe apprenticeship in the trade of praying must be served in order to become a journeyman in it.

The stream of praying cannot rise higher than the fountain of living.

Trouble and prayer are closely related. Trouble often drives men to God in prayer, while prayer is but the voice of men in trouble.

It is not great talents or great learning or great preachers that God needs, but men great in holiness, great in faith, great in love, great in fidelity, great for God.
