The men who have most fully illustrated Christ in their character and have most powerfully affected the world for Him have been men who spend so much time with God as to make it a notable feature in their lives.

To give prayer the secondary place is to make God seconday in life's affairs.

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

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.

Prayer, in one phase of its operation, is a disinfectant and a preventive. It purifies the air; it destroys the contagion of evil.

Public prayers are of little worth unless they are founded on or followed up by private praying.

God requires to be represented by a fiery Church... two things are intolerable to Him-insincerity and lukewarmness.
