Mrs. Walshaw on Prayer.

On the Monday evening there was a great gathering, when Mrs. [Lydia A.] Walshaw, of Halifax, spoke with great power. Here are some notes of her address:

• “God longs to bring man back into heart-fellowship with himself.”
• “The prayer life brings us back into communion with God.”
• “It must be a life of prayer; we must go on until we even become a prayer.”
• “God is waiting for our prayer, that he may give us a mighty revival.”
• “The Holy Spirit teaches us and helps us in prayer.”
