EVANGELISTIC DEPARTMENT
The Prayer Meeting is a sort of infallible index of Church vitality!
There are thousands of promises in the word of God, the greater number of which jxrtain to prayer. To assure suppliant souls, God uses, with lavish wealth, his universal terms —whosoever, whatsoever, wheresoever, whensoever, all, any, every—as if He meant to make doubt or hesitancy impossible. \mong those universal promises not one is more conspicuous than that in Matt. 18; 19-20: “if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Thus the smallest number that can gather—two or three —and the least number that can agree—two—are challenged to meet and to pray.
