Prayer is a weapon, a mighty weapon in a terrible conflict. Our prayers are to be a continual, conscious, earnest effort of battle, the battle against whatever is not God's will.

The local church is the outcrop of the church universal.

The Living God alone can make us living men; the mighty God alone can make us mighty men; the loving God alone can make us consecrated men.

Prayer is, paradoxically, both a gift and a conquest, a grace and a duty. Does that not mean, is it not a special case of the truth, that all duty is a gift, every call on us a blessing, and that the task we often find a burden is really a boon?

Prayer is the atmosphere of revelation, in the strict and central sense of that word. It is the climate in which God's manifestation bursts open into inspiration.

It is not in our choice to spread the gospel or not. It is our death if we do not.

It is possible to be so active in the service of Christ as to forget to love him.
