How Do You Gage the Condition of a Church?

"The condition of the church may be very accurately gauged (sic) by its prayer meetings. So is the prayer meeting a grace-ometer, and from it we may judge of the amount of divine working among a people. If God be near a church, it must pray. And if he be not there, one of the first tokens of his absence will be a slothfulness in prayer."--C. H. Spurgeon (Tom Carter, comp., Spurgeon at His Best. p. 155)
