Excerpt from Prayers of the Ages
The disciples of Christ asked how his great works of healing had been wrought; and he answered, "This kind can come forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting." To show how the great healers and helpers of the world have prayed, has been my aim in compiling this volume.
It may seem contradictory to omit from such a work those noble Hebrew Prayers with which the Scriptures abound, and that central Prayer of the Church, the liturgy which has come down from Apostolic times; but they are already to be found in every home; and wishing to make a useful rather than a curious book, I have abandoned my original purpose of giving these with their changes, as used in different times and by different churches.
