Acts 2:44-47 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;… Once in a most lively prayer-meeting the preacher who was presiding prayed: "O Lord, help all of us to trust Thee with our whole souls!" And a hundred voices responded, "Amen!" Some also shouted, "Lord, grant it!" and "Amen, amen," all over the room. Encouraged by such sympathy, he went on: "Help us all to trust Thee wholly with our bodies!" And then the people cried, "Amen!" as heartily as before. Now the exalted sense of consecration rose to its height, and he prayed again: "Oh, help us to trust Thee wholly with our money!" And it is actually reported in private circles since that not a man had a word to say then. (E. S. Robinson.)
