PRAYER.--Among all the means OF
grace-sermons, sacraments, Sabbaths,
providences, Gods word either read or
preached-the greatest in some res
poets, 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
storms of persecution may 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 there feet
We're in the stocks, but their spirits
were free. And when his brow is clam
my cold, and his eyes all glazed and
dim, and his ear has lost its hearing,
and his tongue its power of speech
the moving lips and uplifted hands, tell
the by-standers at a Christians death
bed that the gates of prayer are open.
Prayer and good man never part only
at the door OF heaven, there being but
a breath, a groan, sigh between earth's
prayers and eternal praise. DR. Guthrie
