THE POWER OF PRAYER.
BY Henry F. Co

BY Henry E. Cope
And as he prayed the fashion of
his countenance was altered. Luke
O.: 20.
Has prayer any power7 Does It pro-
duce any results. How can my weak
petition or even my tears change the
course Of nature? The philosopher win
always ask such questions. Men may
have no ready answers and yet. in days
of heartache, Of emptiness of life. of
great sorrow and need, they will pray
again, and find refreshing In their
praying.
He whose teachings have led the
footsteps Of humanity into the paths
of peace, whom we all acknowledge as
supreme in the moral and spiritual
realms. taught us how TO pray and
himself as man set US the example
of prayer. No one has accused him of
hypocrisy; but everywhere, in every
creed and in none, we Join In the
prayer he taught US.
There is seeming contradiction
about this whole matter of prayer.
Men always have prayed; they pray in
every religion; honest, open-eyed men
OF business Sld affairs, free from de
lusions or superstition, pray to-day.
Yet we know full well that natural
laws cannot be changed. that though
all men should pray that this night
never might fan darkness would set
in just the same.
There are even more serious difficult
Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1907-11-16

ties about prayer than the natural
ones. Can we conceive that a great
Father, infinitely wise and good, waits
for his children to petition him to take
care of them, waits for us to poster
him into doing good? If 1t were so,
would not the act of prayer be gaining
an immoral advantage over these who
might lack either time, knowledge or
disposition to pray?
Power In prayer even has come to
mean the ability to persuade the Al
mighty to do unjust, cruel and wicked
things, to win him as an ally In an
unworthy cause, to secure for our
selves the immense advantage In the
worlds business and competition of
having Omnipotence move crops and
control mighty affairs for our profit.
So long as men think of prayer only
as petition they will fall into such err
rors. The keynote to all prayer is the
word Of the Great Teacher set at the
beginning of the prayer he taught. 1t
is. Father. 1t would be strange child
who never spoke to his father save to
ask for bread or for his signature on
check. Prayer is not prayer SO long
as 1t Is only an order for a bill Of
goods.
The power of prayer is not the pow
er to secure earthly benefits at heaven
ly discounts; it Is the power to bring
the thoughts ana the will, the whole
life, over into the atmosphere of things
eternal and spiritual. The effect or
prayer is seen not in things obtained,
but in transformations effected In the
character that breathes the air of
heaven.
Men always become like the things
Of which they think most. When
prayer is the outgoing OF the thoughts
In aspiration, In contemplation of that
which is high and noble, reaching
after that which surpasses the flesh
and the present, a recognition of things
Infinite and divine, its efficacy is seen
in the outer life.
The power of prayer is not in bring
iAS ISdfCA 0OWu, DuL III DlLlQS man
up. 1t becomes a Jacobs ladder on
which the soul ascends to heaven In
stead Of lying PROSTATE at Its feet. It
serves to remind us, when we would
be engrossed with the things that are
but temporal, that there are things
eternal. 1t is the inner life breathing
and eating.
Prayer is the directing of the life to-
ward what is best; it Is the cherishing
of every high thought and glowing
vision. 1t is like the correspondence
we maintain with a dear friend, not
because we would obtain favors from
that friend, but because our hearts are
hungry for friendship So is the heart
Of man hungry for that which lies be-
yond bricks and business, for that
which age cannot wither and death
cannot affect
If we live only for the bread that
perishes and for the things that are
seen, how soon we become of these
things the heart turns to clay,
and the heavenly light dies from
the eyes. But to live toward the
ideal, to seek the truth, to recognize
and reach after the world greater than
that of things, this is to pray and thus
to be changed by the power of prayer
into the glory of a greater life.
