In the life of John G. Paton we are told that the custom of morning and evening prayer was ever maintained in his father's household. Until the day of his death, at seventy-seven, he failed not, and when the last day of his life came, he was heard repeating the Psalms and breaking forth into prayer. Paton says: "I never can remember that any day ever passed when this was omitted. No hurry for the market, no rush for business, no trouble or joy, ever prevented our kneeling about the altar while the high priest led us to God, and offered himself and his children there. The worst woman in the town where we lived crept up to the window and heard my father pleading for sinners in his prayer, and was saved." - {O.F. Merrill}
