We rely upon prayer as the only line of communication between the creature
and his Creator, the only wing upon which the soul's requirements and
hungerings can be wafted to the Fount of all spiritual supply. Through our
street, as well as our indoor meetings, perhaps oftener than any other
people, we come to the masses with the divine benediction of prayer; and

this that has brought us up from a little handful of humble workers to an
organization with 21,000 officers and workers, preaching the gospel in
thirty-nine tongues. It is this that has multiplied the one bandsman and a
despised big drum to an army of 27,000 musicians, and it is this-our
