The practical lesson for all of us is, that we learn the power, and practise the grace, of that effectual fervent prayer which availeth much. Peter was kept in prison, but fervent prayer was being constantly made by the Church unto God for him. Which of us would not have thought that the time for prayer was past ? A few short hours must run their course, and then the pri- soner will be led out to his execution. Even now he lies within stone walls and iron gates : he is chained, hand and arm, to... his keepers; and he lies at this moment in the helpless inactivity of sleep. Why prolong the vain struggle ? Why trouble ye the Master any fur- ther ? The will of God is plainly spoken : our friend is appointed unto death : look off from the spectacle : think not of the doomed, but of the surviving. Thus speaks that spirit of the world which lingers even in the regenerate : we judge the Lord by feeble sense, and, where we see not a way, we conclude at once that there is none. And yet, even while we thus argue, there stands within that prison an Angel of God.
