BY MR. ALBERT A. HEAD.
If there is one need felt beyond another by the members of the Church of
Christ to-day, it is power _in_ prayer—desire _for_ prayer—time to be
devoted _to_ prayer. What a number of unions for prayer exist already,
and yet how few members continue "instant in prayer" or "pray without
ceasing." The author of this book makes a clear diagnosis of the case
when he writes as follows:—"Never did the cause of God need perfect
illustrations of the possibilities of prayer more than in this age. To
pray is the greatest thing we can do. We must learn anew the work of
prayer, enter anew the school of prayer."
The contents of this message upon prayer should be read alike by
preacher and teacher, evangelist and intercessor. Its pages contain an
appeal to every "worker together with Christ," and stimulate the desire
for prayer in the varied relationships of Christian life. The appeal
deserves a wide circulation amongst members of Prayer Circles and Prayer
Unions, and, indeed, amongst all who are looking for a revival of true
religion in our land, and an exodus of ambassadors for Christ to heathen
and Moslem populations.
I most heartily commend the reading of it, feeling persuaded that God
has given the author a trumpet call to the Church of Christ to "arise
and pray."
