Redeeming Time
By Andrew Bonar

      "Pray without ceasing"
      (1 Thess. 5:17).

      God has this week been impressing much upon me the way of redeeming time for prayer by learning to pray while walking or going from place to place. Also He has been showing me how to make more direct use of Scripture to my own case in daily reading. Tomorrow is the anniversary of my ordination day I feel my unholiness, my prayerlessness, and my want of solemnity and sense of responsibility I seem to have done nothing at all for this people, and I wonder much at my indifference of neighbouring clergymen. I feel also a great deal of envy at hearing of others' success.
