THE MYSTERY OF PRAYER.
The things we use and do not understand are so many that it seems strange we should question the possibilities of anything simply because we cannot comprehend its working. The telephone is in our homes, but no one fully explains it. A tiny disc of sheet-iron, a second disc miles away, perhaps, and a copper wire running between the two. Ihe human voice at one end makes the first disc tremble and shudder, e'ectricity carries the vibration along the wire, and the trembling of the second disc reproduces the voice. " i hat is what happens, but how —not all the scientists in the world can tell, savs a writer on telephony. "Set manv who use the telephone daily as the most practical ol instruments, \>hake their heads unbelievingly at the mention of prayer. '1 hey do not see how a human voice can reach to heaven, or a way lor the granting of its petitions be found amid the fixed laws of the universe. ■ — - -
