THE ACID T'EST OF OBEDIE CE Dr. R. A. Torrey said: "One evening I was told that a minister's son ,vas to be present in my congre– gation, and though he professed to be a Christian, he did not work much at it. I watched for him, and selected the man in the audience who I thought "''as he, and selected the right man. At the close of the service I hurried to the door by vvhich he would leave ' and shook hands with different ones as they passed out. When he came I took his hand and said: 'Good evening! I am glad to see you; are you a friend of Jesus?' 'Yes,' he an– swered, heartily. I consider myself a friend of Jesus.' 'Jesus said ' I re– plied, " 'Ye are My friends, if, ye do whatsoever I command you.' " His eyes fell. 'If those are the condi– tions , I guess I am not.' I put the same question to yo11: Are you do– ing whatsoever He commands you? Are you winning souls as He com– mands?"-Eamest Worker QUOTATIO S O PRAYER "No man is greater thai1 his prayer life. The Pastor vvho is not praying is playing, the people who are not praying are straying." "The prayer meeting is dead or dying-by our attitude to prayer ,ve tell God what was begun in the Spirit we can f i11ish in the flesh." "The tvvo prerequisites to successful Christian living are vision and pas– sio11-both of ,vhich are bo1n in and maintained by prayer."
