READING AND PRAYER.

George Muller, when young, often found difficulty in prayer, hardly knowing what to pray for, and felt little earnestness, but later on he made a practice of reading the Bible first, and found his heart filled with longings and aspirations; he found prayers and praises put into his mouth, and his whole soul quickened. By faith he built five great orphanages, accommodating 2,000 children, though he had no money himself, and never asked anyone for a penny. He trusted the God of the Bible, Who did not disappoint him.
