“Where two or three are met together, the prayer of one strikes fire from the soul of another; and the latter in his turn leads the way to nobler heights of devotion. And lo! as their joy increases, there is One in their midst whom they all recognize and cling to. He was there before, but it is only when their hearts begin to burn that they recognize Him; and in a true sense they may be said to bring Him there.” WayHeartMaySaidTwoSoulTogetherJoyTurnsThreePrayerFireMetsIncreaseStrikesDevotionHeightLatterMidst Author:James Stalker
