BISHOP’S FAITH IN PRAYER
LOST PIN RECOVERED. Bishop Taylor Smith, speaking on the power of prayer at a lunch-hour service at St. Stephen’s, Walbrook, London, lately, said that recently he was walking with a friend, a commander in the Royal Navy, when they came across two cyclists searching on the ground for a steel pin which had become detached from the driving chain of one of the cycles. They joined in the search. It was his habit, the bishop said, to make everything the subject of prayer. If a worldly man lost a collar stud ho usually used a word beginning with “d,” but a godly man used a Word beginning with “ p.” So he merely said: “ Lord, if it bo Thy will let me find the pin quickly,” and he found it immediately. The bishop added that he suggested that the naval commander should voice a vote of thanks for the recovery of the pin, so the four of them doffed their hats, “just like a Salvation Army group.”
