PRAYER SERMON BY THE REV. r. N. BELLOWS.
The sermon ut All Souls Church yesterday morning
was preached by tho Rev. H. N. Bellows, son Of the
Rev. DR.. Bellows. Mr. Bellows took his text from
Luke xL, 1-'Lord, teach US to pray"
There an dca said Mr. Bellows. that such subject
should bo avoided because OF Its unattracuveness 1t
seerns to me that silence the subject OF prayer
IRON knowledge that the thoughts OF men and
women In regard TO II not what they wore twenty
or thirty ycarsago. The majority of men and women
do day pray in the formal sense Of tho word
as their grandfathcrs prayed before them They do
formulated prayers 1t is important to recog-
70 this fact and 10 see what II means.
Let us glance briefly at the history OF prayer. The
disciples SAID Jesus, "Teach US TO pray Not that
PRAYER cid not exist before that time because II is In.
hcrent tho OF man hut they saw the vivid
relation between Jesus and The unseen world, which
they could not understand. Jesus answered by re-
Of the most efficient instruments In the spread of
the religion Of Christ by correctly responding to
the sy ympathies Of the heart
Among the philosophical objections 70 prayer
Is that Of impersonality. Men and women
py, "why, God is not a person in any sense
shat understand, therefore We cannot pray TO
whom cannot picture in our minds" They
also say. .I God is all wise and all good and loves
much will He give that which We wish Tor with
out our import uning Him." True you cannot bottle
mp the personality oil God. you cannot treat 1t as
but God has this per.
Sonaiity although may not DO able 10 conceive IT,
10 the second objection reply that God grants not
all that desire nor ut tho time we ask 1t, but who
say that He does not answer our prayers? lf
you bury tue iuea Of Code love then
you might feel there was no use IN asking Who does
not feel that prayer In broader sense Is in
The house OF God, IN your own minds, IN the fields,
wherever you may be Our fccling t0en in regard to
this question Is SIMPLY that prayer Is communion
with the Infinite, tbas which Is highest and unseen,
but the real that we may come to II In countless
ways, that no limit may be set, no law laid down for
our rcazation OF IT, but that whether through the
forms tho printed books, the book OF nature or OF
human fellowship, come to sense OF 1t, and It's
tnnermos reality depends upon ourselves most largely
