Thoughts for the Quiet Hour








September 22

  When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father, which is in secret
        Matt. 6:6

This is faith’s stronghold; here she weapons herself for the daily conflict. Silence in that closet of prayer bespeaks death throughout all the house. When that door is suffered to rust on its hinges, and that chamber is deserted, then the heart-house is soon retaken by Satan, and evil spirits come in and dwell there.

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
