Fasting and Prayer
Matthew 17:21
However, this kind goes not out but by prayer and fasting.


Prayer, joined with fasting, is like "an apple of gold set off with a picture of silver." Now we have it at its best advantage; it shines bright, and it flames pure, like fire without the incumbrances of smoke, or the allay of contrary blasts.

(R. South, D. D.)
