THE SOUL'S REFUGE

By G. B. T.

PRAYER is indeed a great privilege. It is the soul's refuge from the storm. When in distress — when we do not know which way to go or what to do — prayer shows us the way out. In hours of darkness, in times "when sorrows like sea billows roll," prayer brings relief to the soul. The Saviour in the garden, in that last and most tremendous crisis before He was delivered into the hands of sinners, prayed repeatedly, most

earnestly and urgently. Agony from the deep recesses of His soul caused Him to pour forth petitions which brought angels to the relief of their beloved Commander. So in response to the earnest prayer of His trusting child, offered in simplicity and resignation, help and deliverance will come. G. B. T.
