It is not great talents or great learning or great preachers that God needs, but men great in holiness, great in faith, great in love, great in fidelity, great for God.

God shapes the world by prayer. The more prayer there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces of against evil

We are constantly straining to devise new methods, new plans, new organizations to advance the Church and secure enlargement and efficiency for the gospel. This trend of the day has a tendency to lose sight of the man or sink the man in the plan or organization. God's plan is to make much of the man, far more of him than of anything else. Men are God's method. The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men.

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

The word of God is the food by which prayer is nourished and made strong.

Trouble and prayer are closely related. Trouble often drives men to God in prayer, while prayer is but the voice of men in trouble.

He who would pray, must obey.
