Suddenly a name popped into my head ,'Praying Hyde',so much locked away in our memories,here was one.He was an American and served as a missionary in India. He was totally given to prayer and evangelisim,it was said of him that he was consumed by praying,he listened to God, pleaded with God, he wept before God.That is why he is remembered as the Apostle of prayer,from weakened by food -less days and sleepless nights,with sobs as he pleaded ,'O ,God give me souls or I die'.He knew the awful consequences that awaited the lost in eternity,in other words he knew the value of a soul,do you? ,do I?.
'Rescue the perishing
Care for the dying.
Snatch in them in pity
from sin and the grave;
Weep o'er the erring one,
Tell them of Jesus the
mighty to save'
