Uur President REV. J. C. COOKE velationl. figure. THE POWER OF PRAYER More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of and when you pray go into your closet and shut the door and your father which seeth in secret shall reward you openly. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Pray without ceasing. These and many more scriptures plainly show the place of prayer in the scheme of things with regards to the spiritual. lt is impossible to remain spiritually sensitive without the excercise of prayer. One may have a profound knowledge, years of Christian walk and know-how but without a love of prayer the life may be barren and unfruitful, indeed this is exactly the position many find themselves in, a life time of serving God but a dried-up experience. lt is a love of prayer that mellows and sweetens Christian living, that takes the hurt out of the everyday contact with that which is unlovely and unkind. Prayer is the stockade, the shelter, the canopy, and the place of safety. Every- one needs to know this, everyone ought to experience prayer's warm embrace when the storm beats down upon them with relentless fury. But prayer is more than a negative exercise-it is also a kind of a weapon, a spiritual weapon of offence, by which the man of God may be able to advance against the foe, come to grips with him, and overcome him. lf military armies march on their stomachs, then it is equally so that the armies of God will march on their knees.
