Quotes from James O. Fraser

I believe it will only be known on the last day how much has been accomplished in overseas missions by the prayers of earnest believers at home.

I used to think that prayer should have the first place and teaching the second. I now feel that it would be truer to give prayer the first, second and third place, and teaching the fourth.

I know enough about Satan to realize that he will have all his weapons ready for determined opposition. He would be a missionary simpleton who expected plain sailing in any work of God.

Solid, lasting missionary work is done on our knees.

Praying without faith is like trying to cut with a blunt knife - much labor expended to little purpose.
