The Prayer Meeting

Listen from:
Judge B. when he was young lawyer, was invite to deliver an address of welcome to the governor, the state on a Monday evening. He took great pains to prepare his address, but a telegram came on Monday, saying that the governor’s visit would be deferred till Wednesday evening. Mr. B. at once wrote to the committee that a previous engagement would prevent his being present on Wednesday evening.
Few persons knew that the “previous engagement” was the mid-week prayer meeting which the young Christian lawyer had set apart as sacredly devoted to God, and no service to men or state though it might be for his own promotion, could make him swerve from his purpose. No wonder God bless him.
How many of our dear young friends love to go to the prayer meeting? The Lord has answered many prayers from the prayer meeting.
“They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayer.” Acts 2:4242And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. (Acts 2:42).
