The Power of Prayer.

"PRAYING always." Eph. 6: 18. The soul of man is like a kindled brand—so long as the air breathes on it, it will retain to the last its genial warmth and crimson glow; but let the air stagnate around it, and flake on flake the white ashes will gather over it, and the fire will die away within it, and under those ashes it will be left black and charred, a cold and useless log. What the breath of wind is to the glowing brand, that prayer is to the soul.—Archdeacon Farrar.
