Another helpful book prayer is A Diary of Private Prayer by John Baillie. This is a fine discipline in devotional reading. His prayers. are soul-searching. For instance: “Tonight let every bolt and bar be drawn that has hitherto robbed my life of air and light and love.” It is only $1.50.

Let us again recommend to you Barclay’s Daily Bible Study covering the entire New Testament in 17 volumes. You will marvel at his deep insights into spiritual truths and his ability to draw upon many sources of history, science, archaeology, and social customs to clarify the scriptures. He writes profoundly and yet simply, avoiding the technicalities so often true of commentaries. We get this in paper-back from abroad. We get these in paperback from Scotland, and while they have increased in price recently, they are still a bargain, $1.75 each, or $30.00 for the entire set, including postage.

Also in inexpensive paperback are the two books by Louis Cochran: The Fool of God, which is the story of Alexander Campbell; and Raccoon John Smith, the pioneer preacher of Kentucky. Only $2.00 each.

If you had been the Master, how much patient endurance would you have shown toward disciples who so misunderstood you and who played selfish politics to get first place? And yet Jesus used these very disciples to begin the Christianizing of the World! --- Harry Emerson Fosdick

Pythagoras, the ancient Greek mathematician and philosopher, rightly said, “Perception of truth begins with silence,” that is, with quiet, inward surrender to it. Truth lives in the depths, for God lives in the depths. He stands behind all things. Therefore only he will attain the knowledge of Divine truth who seriously and honestly immerses himself in it. --- Erich Sauer

Our appetite is no longer a safe guide to what we need in our spiritual hunger. --- Geddes MacGregor

The unity of the Church is both a gift and a demand. --- Paul Minear

How can world-wide church unity be achieved if in thousands of local congregations the solidarity of Christian fellowship has given way to the atomizing influence of dissension, pride, jealousy, and division? --- E. L. Cattell

Prayer has to be a discipline before it can be a joy.-E. L. Cattell
