FOREWORD.

As from a lonely minaret in Moslem lands the ever repeated Call to Prayer is given from early dawn to late eventide, so this little book has only one message, one repeated call although from different angles: Come to Prayer, Come to Victory! God is greater than all, greater than all difficulties in the Moslem world. Greater than its dire needs. Greater than our hearts if our hearts condemn us for luke warmness or neglect in the Ministry of Intercession. We do not test God's resources until we pray for the impossible. It is with this purpose that these short papers, which appeared as editorials in the Moslem World are here brought together, to bring us all together in united prayer.
