Thoughtful Prayer
Baxendale's Anecdotes
James 4:1-3
From where come wars and fights among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?…


The father of Sir Philip Sidney enjoined upon his son, when he went to school, never to neglect "thoughtful prayer." It was golden advice, and doubt. less his faithful obedience to the precept helped to make Philip Sidney the peerless flower of knighthood and the stainless man that he was — a man for whom, for months after his death, every gentleman in England wore mourning.
