It is recorded of D.
L. Moody that, upon one of his journeys across the Atlantic there was a fire in
the hold of the ship.
The crew & some
volunteers stood in line to pass buckets of water. A friend said to Moody,
"Mr. Moody, let us go to the other end of the ship & engage in
prayer."
The common-sense
evangelist replied, "Not so, sir; we stand right here & pass buckets
& pray hard all the time."
How like Moody this
was! He believed that prayer & work were the two hands of the one person;
that they should never be separated.

"For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is
dead also."

tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left
undone." - H B Stowe.
