Alone with God

Christians need to spend more time alone with God. They are suffering weakness and poverty for want of it. Says the San Francisco Pacific:
"England's greatest engineer was said to be a man of no great natural talent, yet he performed wonders, bridged torrents, pierced mountains, etc. When he came to a difficulty that seemed insurmountable he would shut himself in his room, and neither eat nor drink that he might concentrate his mind on that difficulty. At the end of two or three days he would come out of the room with the look and step of a conqueror, and give orders to his men which seemed to them like inspiration. So it would be with Christians, if they spent more time alone with God. They would come from their closets, as Moses came from the mount, with shining faces; and having power with God, they would have power also with men."
