Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted June 4, 2017 Moderators Posted June 4, 2017 This thread is not for religious topics. So, please do not get into a discussion of the meaning of my quotation at the end of this post. Rather, my question here is: Who do you think wrote what I have quoted? * The author was born in the mid 1800s. * The author died in the 1st quarter of the 1900s. * Books written by this author and compilations of what the author wrote are published and sold today. * The author was a Christian who is well known in the Christian world today. * People who have written about this author include both Adventist and non-Adventist authors. * The latest Adventist article written about the author of the quotation below is probably one just published by Beverly Beem. Quote Prayer does not fit us for the greater works; prayer is the greater work. Quote Gregory

Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted June 5, 2017 Author Moderators Posted June 5, 2017 No, it was not EGW. The fact that I posted a number of comments that could have applied to her indicated that it was not her. Aubrey was correct as to the book in which it could be found. Oswald Chambers is correctly named as the author. Quote Gregory
Members phkrause Posted June 5, 2017 Members Posted June 5, 2017 I think I've posted that quote from him? But I have to admit, I did think it was EGW! Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
