It distinguishes between the falsity of sinful sense and Truth that is sinless."

Before this wonderful truth came to me, my conception and habit of prayer was chiefly one of petition to God, beseeching His help for the removal of the many discords of life and for the achievement of good, the realization of my ideals.
