Four Present, But Only One Visible
J. Basley. Matthew 18:19-20 Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask… When it was decided to close the prayer-meeting m a certain village, a good woman declared that she would be there if no one else was. She was true to her word, and when the next morning some one said to her rather jestingly, "Did you have a prayer-meeting last night?" "All! that we did," she replied. "How many were present? .... Four," she said. "Why," said he, "I heard that you were there all alone." "No," she said; " I was the only one visible. but the Father was there, and the Son was there, and the Holy Spirit was there, and we were all agreed in prayer." Before long there was a revival prayer-meeting and a prospering church. (J. Basley.)
