Such highly qualitative leadership is demanded especially in the realm of the fostering of right international relations. Here the demand is simply irresistible.

There is an irresistible demand to strengthen the leadership of the constructive forces of the world at the present momentous time. This is true because of stupendous, almost unbelievable changes which have taken place in recent years on every continent.

It is easy to magnify human personality and agencies. Prayer recognizes that God is the source of life and light and energy.

The world asks, How much does he give? Christ asks why does he give?

The history of missions is a history of prayer. Everything vital to the success of the world's evangelization hinges on prayer.

Prayer alone will overcome the gigantic difficulties which confront the workers in every field.

The men that will change the colleges and seminaries here represented are the men that will spend the most time alone with God... It takes time for the fires to burn. It takes time for God to draw near and for us to know that He is there. It takes time to assimilate His truth.

Prayer is the greatest force that we can wield. It is the greatest talent which God has granted us. He has given it to every Christian.

The GREATEST HINDRANCES to the evangelization of the world are those within the Church.

It is possible for the most obscure person in a church, with a heart right toward God, to exercise as much power for the evangelization of the world, as it is for those who stand in the most prominent positions.

The Church has not yet touched the fringe of the possibilities of intercessory prayer. Her largest victories will be witnessed when individual Christians everywhere come to recognize their priesthood unto God and day by day give themselves unto prayer.

From the day of Pentecost until the present time, it has been necessary to be of one accord in prayer before the Spirit of God will work with mighty converting power.
