A holy life does not live in the closet, but it cannot live without the closet.

A life growing in its purity and devotion will be a more prayerful life.

We cannot talk to God strongly when we have not lived for God strongly. The closet cannot be made holy to God when the life has not been holy to God.

That man cannot possibly be called a Christian, who does not pray.

Praying men must be strong in hope, and faith, and prayer.

Prayer is the one prime, eternal condition by which the Father is pledged to put the Son in possession of the world. Christ prays through His people. Had there been importunate, universal, and continuous prayer by God's people, long ere this the earth had been possessed for Christ.

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