Given to Much Prayer
65
By Prayer and Song—The work of the canvasser evangelist,
whose heart is imbued with the Holy Spirit, is fraught with won-
derful possibilities for good. The presentation of the truth, in love and
simplicity, from house to house, is in harmony with the instruction
that Christ gave His disciples when He sent them out on their first mis-
sionary tour. By songs of praise, by humble, heartfelt prayers, many
will be reached. The divine Worker will be present to send conviction
to hearts. “I am with you alway,” is His promise. With the assurance
of the abiding presence of such a helper we may labor with faith and
hope and courage.—

God Gives Success—It is God alone who can give success either
in preparing or in circulating our publications. If in faith we maintain
His principles, He will co-operate with us in placing the books in
the hands of those whom they will benefit. The Holy Spirit is to
be prayed for, trusted in, believed in. Humble, fervent prayer will
do more to promote the circulation of our books than will all the
expensive ornamentation in the world.—
