Signs of the Times

with contributions from Whyte, James W. Price, Francis James Martin, Charles Brown

[Principal Whyte, quoted in the Canadian Baptist, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Jan. 10, 1924]

Prayer, in its whole extent and compass, is a comprehensive and compendious name for all kinds of approach and all kinds of address to God, and for all kinds and degrees of communion with God. Request, petition, supplication; acknowledgment and thanksgiving; meditation and contemplation; as, also, all our acts and engagement of public, and family, and closet worship,—all those things are so many species, so to say, of prayer. Petition is the lowest, the most rudimentary, and the most elementary of all kinds of prayer. Whereas praise—pure, emancipated, enraptured, adoring praise—is the supremest and the most perfect of all kinds of prayer.
