PRAYER.

PRAYER is one of the wonders of the universe. The idea that man's feeble breath, as prompted by a loving, trusting heart, can influence the Power that directs and controls all the forces of nature, and that shapes the course and destinies of individuals and of nations, is a conception too vast for the compass of unaided human reason. A child-like faith is essential to its grasping. Yet the potency of prayer is a verity as unmistakable as the sun in the heavens; and the true-hearted child of God is not surer of his own existence than that his Father hears and answers his prayers, according to his need and his faith.—Selected.
