Jn our lust week's study wo de
fined prayer ns tho basic faculty of
perception and the power 01 acuicve
inont; tin? soul-faculty by which wo
ni prebend tho Invisible realties of
tho spiritual universe and. tho force
of character by which wo accomplish
the master achievements of life; 1.
c, power of discernment and power
oi action. Wo say also that these two
elements of faith, discernment and
, tlon. are both under the control of
the will and that Jesus Is Justified,
therefore. In commanding us to bo
licve. (See last week's Monday is-
.. ii... rvmt Oreironlan). We re
alize that this conception of faith is
not the popular one, nut u is nonu-tho-loss
Hlhllenl, scientific and correct.
Likowlso In tho tudy of prnyer we
shall Ignore popular notions. Wo
shall tear down tho precarious scant-
... whii-h have sunnorted all man-
ner of glib and Jocular sneers at this
rnuitnn. "Vnn do tho nrnv-
tng, parson, and I'll do tho rowing"
bus excited much pitiful amusement
nn imthlnlclncr neonln nt tbA PT-
JltM'xiK ... r . .
p. nso of tho man of prnyer. Hut It
displays a total Ignorance of the
iirayer-concept. How, then, shall we
define prayer? Certainly It Is more
than mere- Introspective communion
of spirit, effective only In tho reflex
action upon the disposition and atti
tude of the one who prays. Prayer Is
a form of dynamics; It Is tho libera
tion and potential energy. (For this
conception I am In lobtod to Nolan
Hlce Host's admirable little volume,
"licyond the Natural Order.") "Tho
supplication of a righteous man avail
cth much In Us working." The origi
nal 15 reek will permit oven a stronger
translation: "Prayer, toiling earnest
ly, uvuileth much." It Is clear that
James conceives of prayer ns toil.
Praying is work, the very hardest kind
of work. Even ns mental work Is
more Intense than physical work, so
this perspiration of soul or spiritual
work Is the most exhaustive of nil
forms of labor. Tho scientist defines
work as the expenditure of energy.
At' the total energy of the universe
Is a constant, energy In one form can
be obtained only nt the expense of
energy in some other form. Tho con
sumption of energy is tho only cre
ation of energy. Work, therefore, If
the eating up of fuel. It Is a kind of
combustion. Moreover, since the days
of Henry Druinmond, we are all
awaro of the "Natural Iiw" obtained
"In the Spiritual World"; that Just as
physical effects can be produced only
by tho consumption of physical moans
of energies, bo spiritual effects can
be produced only by tho consump
tion of spiritual means or energies.
In such case It Is the liberation of
potential energy.
Wo are warranted then, by defi
nition both of science and the text, In
making the startling assertion that If
faith in soul perception, prayer is
soul combustion. Every earnest man
who prays is conscious of the eating
up of soul fuel. The passionate
yearning of sincere prayer Is tho out
going of liberated potential energy.
The experience of every man who has
yearned mightily for a noble cause
attests that "virtue went out of him"
ami that he felt the resultant weari
ness from toil. Hence tho absurdity
of the sneer: "You do the praying,
parson, and I'll do the work." Again.
!' there is no efficiency in prayer,
where has this liberated energy gone?
You are forbidden by science to say
tnat any energy can possibly bo lost.
Then what becomes of tho onrpy
liberated by the exercise of prayer?
May not the same source which Initi
ated and liberated It also direct It to
th' accomplishment of tho desired
end? We all recognize that the fix
ing of the will In steadfast purpose
for success of any kind is In Itself a
fiat force, nn achieving power. Shall
Impassioned soul wishing and will
ing therefore, when it reaches up
ward to the things which human
hands are impotent to mould, shall nil
its travail of desire lose efficacy by
reason of Its loftier pleadings If nn
earthly longing Is a force of achieve
ment, shall the higher spiritual long
ing have no force at all? Is there
no law of the conservation of energy
in tho spiritual world?
In my school days I read a hook en
titled "Insanity." (This may account
for some of my reasoning.) It la one
of the volumes of tho International
Science Series. I shall never forget
it:: interesting analysis of the human
irind, its diseription of how an impact
from an impression from the outside
world upon one of the little lobes of
gray matter liberating its tiny store
of potential energy which energy ran
along a tiny live wire until it struck
another larger lobe, and how the lib
eration of the energy of this larger
reset voir In turn w as capable of lib
crating n still larger until enough
force was accumulated to stimulate
the muscles of the body to act accord
ing to the direction of the brain.
Now, Is there not an analogue in the
spiritual world to this scientific de
scription of the process of the brain?
May tho tiny initiatiry impetus of my
impassioned longing supplication not
run along an invisible wire, like the
wire of gravitation, , for instance,
which connects with a larger reser
voir of spiritual energy until enough
power Is engendered to accomplish
the crystallistation of my dreams?
May I not liberate a greater power
t., accomplish that for which my un
supplemented will Is entirely Inade
quate? It is certainly not beyond the
bounds of rationality so to believe.
Hut the skeptic makes the objec
tion that God's laws are fixed and can
not be changed by my petition. Spnce
forbids the complete answer to this
objection. Hut It s clear that while
certain structural laws are fixed and
It would be amiss to ask Clod to
change them, thero nro many rules
which aro not Inflexible In their na
ture and liberty to modify or oven
suspend which Is a part of the very
concept of Clod's personality. Clod
reserves to Himself tho liberty of
meeting with new means the demands
of new circumstances. And may not
one of those new circumstances be
prayer? Then because of that prayer
t'.od is enabled to act differently than
lie otherwise could.
Hut says some one: Clod will al
ways do His best anyhow, so wliv
I pray? Yes, my friend, but that best
I may be one thing or another nccoid
I ing as you capacitate yourself or
qualify yourself to receive by the ex
ercise of prayer. His best for you
. will depend upon the presence or the
absence of a prayerful spirit.
Pray then, beloved, for one an
other. There is no violation of (lod's
slruitural laws when we pray that
we may be good, clean. Christian
men, and in answer to that prayer
Hod will augment our power.

l'ACKr.O LAST MtillT
i:aiigvlit Holmes Talks on Cluuvli
History and Apeals for Christian
I'lilty.
The auditorium of the Christian
church was packed last night to hear
Evangelist Holmes iu his final sor
mony with tho bible and second that
used a large chart in which the car
dinal doctrines of the Apostolic
church were placed in tho center,
surrounded by the teachings of de
tiominalism. first that were In har
mony with tho bibe, and second that
were held as a matter of opinion.
The evangelist said that no reference
was made to any denomination with
criticism in mind, but that he might
illustrate the position of the Christian
church in its plea for Christian Unity.
He declared that they wanted to ac
cept ail truth for which "a dire.t
thus sai h the Lord" could be cite ',
and to allow every one full liberty it;
matters of opinion. He said the
church was not divided over the di
rect teaching of the bible, but over
these opinions, and urged that as Je
sus prayed that the church might be
one that the world might believe in
him. we are responsthlo for the lest
today, in that we allow our opinions
to become tests of fellowship and
thus divide tho church. There were
many expressions of appreciation
many said they had never heard such
a sermon before others that it was
a new message to them all seemed
delighted.
At the morning .service the evangel
ist told ihe church how he thought
the power of the preacher could be
doubted. The message was very
pointed and suggestive. He sviid that
attendance ha da, great deal to do
with tho sermon, that the preacher
should divide his time between calling
anil study, but that he should be re
lieved of all trivial matters and be
supplied with the same helps that the
business world supplies for its work
ers. He should be paid promptly and
In proportion Ui his ability Just m
any professional man would be paid.
Many other things were said that
would help the average church. Tho
service tonight Is Just for members
of the church, but Tuesday night tho
evangelist will talk on "The Meun
cst Thins 'n Pendleton."
