Prayer in the Family

PRAYER IN THE FAMILY.—I shall never forget the impression made upon me during the first year of my ministry by a mechanic I had visited, and on whom I urged the paramount duty of family prayer. One day he entered my study, bursting into tears, as he said, “You remember that girl, sir? She was my only child. She died suddenly this morning. She has gone, I hope, to God. But if so, she can tell him what breaks my heart—that she never heard a prayer in her father’s house, or from her father’s lips! O that she were with me but one day again!”—Dr. Macleod.
