Every morning he renewed his touch with Christ so that he would not lose it through the busy hours. It was his habit to close every day by reporting to his Friend. Of this habit he said:
“The disciples returned at evening and made a report to Christ of their work. Thus I tell Him of my life during the day, my dealings with persons who have come into it, and whatever has been attempted – in short, the whole day’s work: its efforts, failures, mistakes, sins and joys. That is my evening prayer.
Evening prayer like that prepared him for the next day’s consecration, so that each day’s glimpse of his Friend was more satisfying and complete than that of the preceding day, and he was the more completely equipped than ever for his world wide ministry of comfort and help.
