We must lose all for Christ in order to gain all for Christ.

Prayer is of transcendent importance. Prayer is the mightiest agent to advance God's work. Praying hearts and hands only can do God's work. Prayer succeeds when all else fails.

He only can truly pray who is all aglow for holiness, for God, and for heaven.

God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. They outlive the lives of those who uttered them.

Mans access in prayer to God opens everything and makes his impoverishment his wealth. All things are his through prayer.

Prayer is a trade to be learned. We must be apprentices and serve our time at it. Painstaking care, much thought, practice and labour are required to be a skillful tradesman in praying. Practice in this, as well as in all other trades, makes perfect.

Prayer honors God, acknowledges His being, exalts His power, adores His providence, secures His aid.
