Much is now being said about evangelism; but before we get effective evangelism, we have to get effective evangelists. Evangelism is useless unless it is the work of one devoted to God, willing and glad to suffer all things for God, penetrated by the attractiveness of God. New machinery, adaptations and adjustments, are not the first need... but more devoted, adoring, sacrificial souls.

The mystic cannot wholly do without symbol and image, inadequate to his vision though they must always be: for his experience must be expressed if it is to be communicated, and its actuality is inexpressible except in some hint or parallel which will stimulate the dormant intuition of the reader.

Spiritual reading is a regular, essential part of the life of prayer, and particularly is it the support of adoring prayer.

It is important to increase our sense of God's richness and wonder by reading what his great lovers have said about him.

Deliberately seek opportunities for kindness, sympathy, and patience.

The note we end on is and must be the note of inexhaustible possibility and hope.

The determined fixing of our will upon God, and pressing toward him steadily and without deflection; this is the very center and the art of prayer.
