THE EFFICACY OF PRAYER.
EDITOR CONSERVATIVES:

LII Cne August ISL. lSSueO Oh your journal
you "open your columns to all who, in
sincerity, desire to discuss the question
of the efficacy of prayer in producing
rain, restoring health, or bringing about
any desired result in human affairs"
This is deep and far-reaching ques-
ton, and it's solution might properly be
left to experienced men of great learn
ing and deep thought. But a few Of
my own thoughts and observations of
past years may serve as drop in the
bucket of solutions" that will probably
pour in upon you in the near future.
The admission of the efficacy of
prayer in the sense understood, certainly
carries with it the admission of the pos
sibility of miracles; the power of the
Supreme Ruler to violate the laws of
nature, to cause rain to fall when other
wise there would be drouth also to
Withhold rain and cause drouth when
otherwise there would be rain in plenty
and crops in abundance. People who
ascribe to God such powers, certainly do
not realize the great and grave RESPONSE
bility they are putting upon the Ruler
of the universe. According to their
own teaching, the same Power that
gave suffering Nebraska rain SO promptly
after prayer, could have Withheld the
floods that swept disaster and destruc
tion in West Virginia some weeks ago,
or could have prevented the terrible
Johnstown incident, still fresh in our
minds, or the Charleston IS. o. earth
quake, or any other like terrible exhi-
bition of natures power, saying nothing
of the drouth in Kansas and this state
in years past, and the grass-hopper af-
Fiction; and could have said, ''peace, be
STILL" to the cruel winds and waves be-
fore they swept with such relentless
fury, over the hapless and helpless city
Of Galveston.
To give God special credit for any
good thing done, either through natures
laws or their supposed violation, is to
also hold Him responsible for any evil
done through these same agencies.
Viewed in this light, will any one dare
to accuse the Almighty with evil-doing?
When President Garfield was assassi-
mated, and his life hung in the balance,
the prayers of the people were invoked
for his recovery, and there went up sup
plications in number and sincerity as
there probably never had before in the
worlds history. But he died, neverthe-
less. The chief magistrate of great
Christian nation, whom people loved
and trusted and honored, and needed
was not permitted to live. Yet,
according to believers in prayer, his
life could have been saved as easily as
The Conservative, 1901-08-22

was taken sick. This of itself was not
specially remarkable, since princesses
and even kings, nowadays, are not
altogether immune to danger
and disease. But the Prince, in
stead of recovering or even i'm
proving in the time expected, steadily
grew worse, and grave fears for the
aUOrst were entertained. Seeing, then,
that something religious" had to be
done, the Queen, through her minister,
appointed a season of fasting and
prayer for the recovery Of the heir to
the worlds greatest Christian kingdom.
Lo, the proclamation, as in the Garfield
case, was faithfully carried out in all
Great Britain's dominions, cover which
the sun never sets," and-the prince re-
covered.
And who was this wonderful prince,
so providentially saved to his people?
A wise, righteous, virtuOus man, the
prince Of great and benefcient ruler
of great nation? No! emphatically
no.; as any intelligent man Of fifty or fif-
ty-fve years, who has taken any note of
Albert Edwards earlier career, can tes-
tify. But having no real purpose in
saying aught against him, will say all
I honestly can for him. He was the
eldest son of the late Queen, and is now
the king of England. Aside from the
incident of birth and the opportunities
afforded royalty, he is and always was
the most ordinary person imaginable.
How, then, can any sensible man believe
that an omnipotent God stretched out
his hand and saved this person from the
fate provided for him, and yet Withheld
needed succor from the noble Garfield,
and thereby cruelty permitted whole
nation to be plunged into sorrow and
gloom?
Hundreds of instances could be given
showing the evident folly and futility of
prayer, but just one more must suffice
for the present, lest I should monopo-
lie space and weary the reader.
In OF about the year 1878, when that
most dreaded scourge, yellow fever, was
devastating and almost depopulating
many southern cities, (Memphis in par
ticular), a period of fasting and prayer
was observed all over the Union; be-
sides, much praying had been in
dulged in ever since the cpl
demic had assumed a serious as
pect Did the ravages of the cpl
demic cease as a result? Yes, at time
when it always ceases, prayers or no
prayers-that is, aUhen the frost came,
and not before. And, as writer re-
marked, "when there was nothing left
for it to feed upon"
