(SELECTED GEMS ON THE THEME OF PRAYER)
Two young men were discussing the account of the resur– rection of the Lord Jesus Christ. They agreed that such a thing was impossible. Seeing an old Christian gentleman approaching them, one of them scornfully approached him with the remark, "Tell us, why are you so sure that Jesus rose from the dead?"

The little girl took the chalk and wrote the reply: "Prayer is the wish of the heart."
