Signs of the Times

with contributions from P. E. Sharp

Rev. P. E. Sharp, M. A., in a sermonette in the Telephone Smethwick, Staffordshire, England

There is in each of us a power often unrecognized and quite as often unused. It is the power of prayer which Carlyle once described in a letter to a friend as "the native and deepest impulse of the soul."

Unfortunately, to their own loss, many people allow it to lie dormant, until there come into their lives some peril, responsibility, anxiety, or grief; then, at once, prayer comes into its own. But it is not a thing to be reserved for a last extremity.
