Another needed lesson and encouragement to all of us engaged in llii.s
work of saving souls is the assurance that our “labor is not in vain in the
bird,” that “prayer changes things” and that “the elTectual, fervent prayer

“The weary ones had rest, the sad had joy I
That day. I wondered how;
A ploughman, singing at his work, he prayed,
‘Lord, help them now/

Away in foreign lands, they wondered how
Their single word had power;
Al home, the Christians, two or three, had met
To pray an hour.

Yes, we arc always wondering, wondering ‘how ;
Because we do not sec
Some one, unknown perhaps, and far away,
On bended knee.”
