worthy one, his prayer S true prayer.
The great fault with our prayers most
of the time is that we pray for the
little superficial things of this mod
ern frivolous life of ours, and think
not once of the reciprocation after
the favor is granted to us. You re-
member well how the patriarchs of
the days of Israal's sovereignty would
pray. How they would first offer up
the sacrifice and then make the sup
splication. How well you remember
how they would return thanks to the
Giver by the dedication of the thing
received or some similar mode of re-
turning, or. creating the idea of re-
placing what they had received
But We of these modern days of
quick superficial thought have some
how or other developed the sense of
gain most abnormally We think
nothing of retribution or of returning
substantial thanks for that which we
have received. This very idea of re-
ceiving and not returning has in itself
an effect of tearing down. We take
all and replace nothing. To build is
sacred, but to tear down is impious.
Hence the irreverence> and vandalism
OF our modern life.
Modern science has torn away the
grand old things of the olden days.
Modern science has in some instan-
ces shown us the folly of some of the
ancient customs. But what has mod
ern science left US in the place of all
the time worn customs to which we
have learned to depend upon by ages
of usage? We have lost the spirit of
compensation"
