It is recorded of D.L. Moody that, on one of his journeys across the Atlantic there was a fire in the hold of the ship. The crew and some volunteers stood in line to pass buckets of water. A friend said to Moody, "Mr. Moody, let us go to the other end of the ship and engage in prayer." The evangelist replied, "Not so, sir; we stand right here and pass buckets and pray hard all the time."

How like Moody this was! He believed that prayer and work were the two hands of the one person; that they should never be separated.
