ON PRAYER
"No erudition, no purity of diction, no width of mental outlook, no flowers of eloquence, no grace of person can atone for lack of fire. Prayer ascends by fire. Flame gives prayer access as well as wings, acceptance as well as energy. There is no incense without fire; no prayer without flame."
~E. M. Bounds (1835-1913), The Necessity of Prayer [1907], Lulu, 2007, p. 19-20
