Signs of the Times

Topic: Guidance through Prayer

with contributions from Herbert Barnes, John H. Muller, Fred A. Line

[From an editorial in The New York Times, New York]

It would be surprising in these days ... if men did not pray more than ordinarily. In different times prayer takes different forms. If there is less of the formal saying of grace at meals, it does not mean of necessity that there is less giving of thanks. One pious man, well remembered because when he prayed he sounded as though he were actually talking face to face with God, once said, "Prayer is an attitude, an atmosphere, a state of mind and heart."

"There are times," said Victor Hugo, "when the soul is on its knees whatever may be the attitude of the body."
