32 The Prayer League and the Conference
vailed made you feel like walking softly, for a soul was wrestling with
God.
To this home, hungry souls would flock, drawn by some irresistible
power. In the morning hours some would call and say: "I have gone
by your home so many times and have longed to come in. Will you
tell me how I can be saved?" Or, from some distant place another
would call saying: "I heard you would tell us here how we might find
heart-rest."
In the secret chamber, lost souls were pleaded for and claimed. The
Holy Ghost knew just where they were and sent them along. Mark
this: If all who read these lines would thus lay hold upon God, with
the holy violence and unconquerable persistence of faith-filled prayer, a
good many things would give way, against which we have been beating
with our puny human wisdom and power in vain. The prayer-power has
never teen tried to its full capacity in any church. If we want to see
mighty wonders of Divine grace and power wrought, in the place of
weakness, failure and disappointment, let the whole church answer
God’s standing challenge: Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and
will show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not.’*
(Jer. 33:3). Oh that God would give such a spirit of prayer in behalf
of Russia!
