PRIMITIVE METHODISTS - by W. H. Y. Titcomb.

This is one of the prints I have in my collection, and it is the one that speaks most to me about prayer! I am posting this to add emphasis on my series of Principles For Praying That Pleases Our Saviour in my DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT...

The air of devotion in this section of religious denomination has been obtained by the artist in a way that promptly engages the attention. He has succeeded in expressing the fervency and zeal both of the minister and his congregation.

The little gathering, composed entirely of humble sea-folk and peasantry, have all come for serious worship, saving perhaps the two lads on the right, where a point is seized by the painter which the great Mulready would assuredly not have missed in such a picture as this.

The artistic elements of the work are distinct, in the disposition of the figures scattered about the rude benches and in the sparsely occupied gallery, where the presence of more people would have taken from the space and breadth of the picture.
