If a man were poor or hungry, some would say, let us pray for him. I would suggest a little different regimen for a person in this condition rather take him a bag of flour and a little beef or pork, and a little sugar and butter. A few such comforts will do him more good than your prayers. And I would be ashamed to ask the Lord to do something that I would not do myself. Then go to work and help the poor yourselves first, and do all you can for them, and then call upon God to do the balance.

Peace is the gift of God. Do you want peace Go to God. Do you want peace in four families Go to God. Do you want peace to brood over your families If you do, live your religion, and the very peace of God will dwell and abide with you, for that is where peace comes from, and it doesn't dwell anywhere else.
