God shapes the world by prayer. The prayers of God's saints are the capitol stock of heaven by which God carries on His great work upon the earth.

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

The first and last stages of holy living are crowned with praying.

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

The greatest value in trouble comes to those who bow lowest before the throne.

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

Preaching is not the performance of an hour. It is the outflow of a life. It takes twenty years to make a sermon because it takes twenty years to make the man. The true sermon is a thing of life. The sermon grows because the man grows.
