Man prays by instinct. If he has no god, he makes one. The most godless person will cry out to God in times of peril. That was a form of prayer, no matter how crude it was. In a moment he forgot himself and called on God.
Man prays by instinct.
There are many interesting customs in prayer. When the Chinese pray, they always take off their glasses. It is very irreverent in China to pray with your glasses on. In Germany if you pray, you must always fold your hands. I remember when I was speaking in Berlin that one of the things the newspapers criticized me for was my irreverence, and I wondered why.
