I Look Upon Prayer-meetings As The Most Profitable Exercises (excepting The Public Preaching) In Which Christians Can Engage. They Have A Direct Tendency To Kill A Worldly, Trifling Spirit, And To Draw Down A Divine Blessing Upon All Our Concerns, Compose Differences, And Enkindle (at Least Maintain) The Flames Of Divine Love Amongst Brethren.
