ffth element In prayer Is unity Christian
.nity 7 am very fond Of union meetings
and when we get into such meetings we
ret SD mixed that we DO not know winch
Be- which. In Heaven We Will ma no
poman Catholic. no Episcopalians, no
r.nfists. no Mcthodists. no Presbyterians.
fef here on earth we have little heaven
f,- each denomination. / remember the
vine when there were no union meetings
r the South. and I remember the first
.-.on meeting held i'm Chicago. on the
.eaeion Of the anniversary OF the Bible
Society. Each brother would get mp and
Isr stress on his denomination. but they
ag would finally condescend and pray as
christians.
Formerly there were high fences around
tho different denominations, and the
members used 10 have tall ladders TO
climb gp in order TO see how they were
getting ON I'm the other denominations.
n we come together and pray together,
the master will be pleased.
Move Away from Grumble street
THANKSGIVING IS another element Of
PRAYER ln the Bible there is far more
Said about Thanksgiving and praise than
about prayer 10 is a good thing 10 have
81 meeting once IN a while, when we are
not wanting any thing, only 10 be with
fhc Lord and praise him.
What "a difference there is in a man
who has most Of his lifetime lived on
Grumbie street and suddenly moves over
900 THANKSGIVING street, where everything
s bright and cheerful, and fun of sun
shine
who Is as cross as two sticks will be
treated in "A cross manner by others.
Faith Is another element of prayer. If
$500 comply with the conditions prescrib-
0d ilea our prayer will be answered
God ai wers prayer just as much by
saving no as by saying yes. 1T is
right also for an ungOdly man to pray
j he desires TO give up sin.
Faith can do any thing with Christ
N is the key that unlocks everything
n Heaven God answers our prayers
as 70 is best for us and "a good deal
better than what we ask for.
Prrseverance IS another element OF
prayer ! do not believe that there is
man living in Richmond who is so
much addicted 10 an that he cannot be
saved by earnest and continued prayer
NE Lord wants It's 10 keep right on
with our prayer; if his answer does not
come at once. il will come later.
We Must Ask Tor something.
The next clement Of prayer
petition. a good many people pray
and yet II is no prayer. because they did
nof ask for anything. IL is a good thing
to ask for something. as we can see on
ihe publican. who prayed God be merci-
ili TO one sinner
a lot Of people. when asked 10 pray,
say they cannot do IT because they think
they have 20 pray as the ministers do in
the pulpit No matter how short a
prayer b., 10 Will be satisfactory to God
The only prayer mentioned in the Bible
is that al the dedication of Solomon's
Temple
i is very healthy exercise TO pray.
Tor 10 brings YOU into submission TO God.
N We are going TO have in Richmond
what We are longing for IL will come
as an answer TO our prayers, If we only
ask Tor IL.
SIR. Moody mentioned submission az
another element Of prayer. but he said
he would not go into IL at that time
Instead he suggested that fifteen minutes
be spent by all in prayers Fervent
payers were then offered by Revs
Cannon and Tucker. MIR. Jacobs and
others.
tfter Mir Jacobs sang Hymn No. us.
