1232 T HE K I N G ’ S B U S I N E S S John 14. The free use of Jesus’ name was given in connection with the doing of His work. “ Do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,” and “ Ask all in His name, ” are twin commands (Col. 3:17; Jn , 14:13)., Prayer can be carried to vain repetition. Prayer/is to put us at God’s disposal. It is in tended to be a promoter of activity. An old man was in great need. A group of very good folks in the church was called together to pray for the man. They had knelt but a moment when Deacon Jones arose from his knees and left the room. A little later the deacon’s son, with a load of provisions, drove up to the home of the needy man, and as the door opened to the lad, he said, “ Dad sent his prayers up in the lumber wagon.” There is no real genuineness to prayers for the help of those in need when one has abundant means to do something, yet will not do it. Many a man has gone on to wreck and ruin because someone who was praying for him did not obey the promptings of prayer and go to him personally «with the word of warning or helpfulness. Yes, good folks, pray on—but don’t forget that the seed contains the plant. Out of prayer, work must grow, and in our work, we must pray without ceasing. ^ —K. L. B.
