THE USEFULNESS OF PRAYER
BY Ivy S. RICHARD

fused to wonder why folks pray.
If God were everywhere and knew
all things, surelyAso my reason told
me-He needed. not human prayer
to let Him know of human needs; or
the human appeal to quicken the
action of His infinite compassion.
Then my little daughter fell sick
and lowered for days near the border
of the great unknown. And oh, how
prayed! =
1t was the prayer Of q stricken soul
crazed with anguish unbearable-a
selfish prayer, as l think most pray
ers are. But it brought immediate
relief relief as appreciable as comes
to the troubled soul who enters
vaulted sanctuary with ITS soft
music and subdned light, and hears
from the pulpit a message of inspir-
alton and cheer,
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-04-18

1t was the voice of the finite lifted
to the infinite for pity and aid; and
while we may not be sure what the
effect upon the Infinite was, this
much is certain-refedvely the
finite was moved and soothed and
comforted.
+ So / know now that prayer does
good. The good l see in it may not
be the good that others see; others
may see more than /. But at least
no longer scoff at prayer. No man
may scoff at prayer who has gone
into a deep experience and found
time when. alone, his spirit irresist-
IDLY reaches out for a communion
with the all-pervasive spirit which
men call by various names, but
which, under any name, means God.
To realize that man, in spite of all
he has done, in spite of all that he
can see or feel or know, is weak and
small, and that in the wonderful uni
verse of which he is so tiny a part
there is force, power, compared
with which his boosted best is but
chip on the wave or leaf whirling in
the storm, is good now and then; and
prayer is one of the instructive ex-
pressions of this Christening realiza-
ton.
Prayer is a voice of faith; and faith
removes mountains.
We have in us that which is more
than reason. We have in us SENSIBLE
tiles, will. Reason needs exercise
that it may grow in power. The sem
sibilities need exercise that they may
grow in power. The unused will be-
comes as fabby as the unused mus
Gle.
The reason may not explain for us
all the mystery in prayer, but we
know that our sensibilities are well,
lowed and enriched by prayer; and
that our will then gains a frmer pur-
pose.
