1t Is only the prayer of faith that is
heard and answered. The more faith
the more will our prayer meetings be
improved.
The improvement SO greatly needed in

question Of procedure, but Of principle.
An assembly of people designated as a
prayer meeting might be conducted with
Intellectual attractiveness, and yet be
outside of the atmosphere of prayer.
What improves a prayer meeting is the
spirituality pervading it.
The spirit Of true prayer, sincere con-
, secration, loving fellowship and I'M
faltering faith will always give the
wisdom for the mode or manner Of con-
Quoting the meeting.
There can be no satisfactory prayer
service that is not guided by the wisdom
that is from above.
And this wisdom is attainable through
prayer. If any man lack wisdom, let
him ask of God. who giveth literally

to coming generations the source of

Improvement in our prayer meetings

of heart conservation in the service of

will enable you to do your best for the
prayer meeting.
Seek to know and understand the
spirit of conservation. Confidence in

There must be conception of God g
