How to Start a Prayer-Meeting.

Let the few hearts that feel the need of warmth gather together, having first, each one, sought the Lord in private. If a regular service cannot be maintained at the church or vestry, let neighbors meet in each other's houses. No matter how small the number, let the joint pleading continue. Seize and hold the promise. Pray for that which lies nearest to you first. Let judgment begin at the house of God. Do not be so anxious to follow a particular bill of fare that you shall ignore your most conscious needs. Expect a blessing when you pray. Take it when it comes, and use it for Christ.—Christian at Work.
