Nothing is more important to God than prayer in dealing with mankind. But it is likewise all-important to man to pray.

The character as well as the fortunes of the gospel is committed to the preacher. He makes or mars the message from God to man. The preacher is the golden pipe through which the divine oil flows.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?

It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchangeable color to every object; beware of this stumbling block.
