Thislittle book was given me by a friend. I glanced through it and laid it aside, thinking that I would read it at some convenient time, though I had never heard of the author. But it was forgotten till Christmas, when I received another copy as a present from another friend. "Well," thought I, "there must be something worth while in the little book, or it would not have been selected as a present by two such intelligent people." So I read at once the first page till I came to the words: "Man is God's method. The church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men." That was enough to whet the appetite for more, and I greedily read chapter after chapter with delight and blessing. When the last sentence was finished I felt that I knew more about prayer than when I began to read, and, better than that, I felt more like praying. Every page pulsates with the heart and mind of a man who knows how to pray; knows the men who have known how to pray, and is very earnest in desiring that others should know how to pray.
His desire has been realized to some extent, in the case of at least one, who would like to have others share the blessing with him.
The author has kindly consented to a reprint in Great Britain.

Ifthere is one need felt beyond another by the members of the Church of Christ to-day, it is powerinprayer—desireforprayer—time to be devotedtoprayer. What a number of unions for prayer exist already, and yet how few members continue "instant in prayer" or "pray without ceasing." The author of this book makes a clear diagnosis of the case when he writes as follows:—"Never did the cause of God need perfect illustrations of the possibilities of prayer more than in this age. To pray is the greatest thing we can do. We must learn anew the work of prayer, enter anew the school of prayer."
The contents of this message upon prayer should be read alike by preacher and teacher, evangelist and intercessor. Its pages contain an appeal to every "worker together with Christ," and stimulate the desire for prayer in the varied relationships of Christian life. The appeal deserves a wide circulation amongst members of Prayer Circles and Prayer Unions, and, indeed, amongst all who are looking for a revival of true religion in our land, and an exodus of ambassadors for Christ to heathen and Moslem populations.
I most heartily commend the reading of it, feeling persuaded that God has given the author a trumpet call to the Church of Christ to "arise and pray."
