A man's state before God may always be measured by his prayers.

Let us read our Bibles reverently and diligently, with an honest determination to believe and practice all we find in them.

Make it a part of every day's business to read and meditate on some portion of God's Word. Private means of grace are just as needful every day for our souls as food and clothing are for our bodies.

Never let us be guilty of sacrificing any portion of truth on the altar of peace.
