God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Prayer is a means of assisting the minister which is within the reach of all. They who can do nothing more, can pray. The sick, who cannot encourage their minister by their presence in the sanctuary, can bear him upon their hearts in their lonely chamber: the poor who cannot add to his temporal comfort by monetary donations, can supplicate their God “to supply all [his] needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Phil 4:19): the timid, who cannot approach to offer him the tribute of their gratitude, can pour their praises into the ear of Jehovah, and entreat him still to encourage the soul of His servant: the ignorant, who cannot hope to add one idea to the stock of his knowledge, can place him before the fountain of celestial radiance: even the dying, who can no longer busy themselves as in former times for his interests, can gather up their remaining strength, and employ it in the way of prayer for their pastor.

The vigor of our spiritual life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts.

    PEOPLE OF THE BIBLE

    MELCHIZEDEK

    GEN 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

    GEN 14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

    GEN 14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

    PSA 110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

    HEB 5:6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

    HEB 5:10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

    HEB 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

    HEB 7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

    HEB 7:2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

    HEB 7:3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

    HEB 7:4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

    HEB 7:5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:

    HEB 7:6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

    HEB 7:7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

    HEB 7:8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

    HEB 7:9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

    HEB 7:10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

    HEB 7:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

    HEB 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

    HEB 7:13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

    HEB 7:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

    HEB 7:15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,

    HEB 7:16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

    HEB 7:17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

    HEB 7:18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

    HEB 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

    HEB 7:20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:

    HEB 7:21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
