Excerpt from The Climb to God: Being a Collection of Pulpit and Private Prayers Which Are Meant to Gird the Spiritual Life

These prayers were most of them taken by a stenographer: some of them were written for special need or the outflow of the preacher's own heart to God.

They have had help in them to men and women who have asked for their preservation on the page of a printed book.

Possibly the largest way to develop devotion is by the leadings of prayer. Not the talk about religion, but the talk to God.

The longing of one man toward God and for God may be the leading of others. And the sole reason for letting these prayers find the page of a book is the surging desire that they might bring God nearer and lead some stranger to the Friend whose name is Jesus, and balm some heart sorely needing balm, and make the great, gentle Helper, God-Christ, more real in the hearts of men and women born to die, but born also not to die.

May it be so, is the prayer of William A. Quayle.
