Prayer: Description from the New York Tribune

Prayer.

THE following impressive description of the nature of prayer, and for a secular paper, very remarkable description, is from an article in the N. Y. Tribune:—

“The attitude and act of prayer are beyond all other things in life invested with solemnity and clothed in mystery. It is the supreme act of faith; approached by the penitent with doubts and questions and infinite wondering; only slowly apprehended, and so immeasurably vast in its meaning to the helpless soul struggling upward on it that man at his very best can only throw himself upon it in utter self-distrust and leave the rest to God.”
