...this road as Paul was. If we cannot see to find our own way into the way, we must trust to those who can see to lead us there, as he did. And, also, if we want to give help to others we must be in the way, for God's first command to Ananias was to that effect. Thus the whole of the Christian's life must be lived in this street which is straight, which leads from God to God, from glory to glory and from rest to rest...
...McKenzie read as the lesson the sixteenth chapter of Hebrews. He said that nothing is more inspiring in the character of Abraham than his sublime faith.

With this question comes...

He read a part of the seventeenth chapter of John, and selected the verse, "Howbeit this kind goeth not out except by prayer and fasting," as the text of his remarks. He said that God demands the spirit of prayer and fasting in every man who desires true success in any work. There are some men of brilliant genius to whom the favors of life come unsought who appear to be independent of this law; but the spontaneous success of their undisciplined genius are never permanent or satisfying.
