Last days

Perhaps if there we knew more of that intense distress for souls that leads to tears in prayer, we should more frequently see the results we desire. Sometimes it may be that while we are complaining of the hardness of the hearts of those we are seeking to benefit, the hardness of our own hearts and our feeble apprehension of the solemn reality of eternal things that can be reached through prayer may be the true cause of our want of success.
