The ministry of prayer, if it be anything worthy of the name, is a ministry of ardor, a ministry of unwearied and intense longing after God and after his holiness.

Sainthood's piety is made, refined, perfected, by prayer. The gospel moves with slow and timid pace when the saints are not at their prayers early and late and long.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ was necessary to establish the truth of his mission and put the stamp of all-conquering power on his gospel.

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

We can never know God as it is our privilege to know Him by brief repetitions that are requests for personal favors, and nothing more.

The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men.

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