Among all the means of grace
sermons, sacraments, Sabbaths, Prov
dences, Gods word either read or
preached-the greatest, in some re-
spects, is prayer Not men or devils
can shut its gates, When every other
avenue to God is closed, these stand
open, day and night continually, The
storm of persecution might drive us
from the house Of God the voice Of
preachers may be silenced in prisons
the Bible plucked from our hands, may
be burned to ashes in Popish flames !;
all this has happened and may happen
again, There are avenues which men
may close; not this the door of prayer.
The martyr found it open in his danger
Daniel in the den Of lions; Paul and
Silas in the prison, where their feet
were in the stocks, but their spirits
were free. Aud when his brow is
Olammy cold, and his eyes all glazed
and dim, and his ear has lost its hear
ing, and his tongue its power Of speech
the moving lips and uplifted hands,
tell the by-standers of a Christian,
death-bed that the gates of prayer arc
open Prayer and a good man never
part only at the door OF heaven, there
being but a breath, a groan, sigh
between earth's prayers and eterna
praise.
