Excerpt from Does Prayer Avail?
The Bible unmistakably teaches that God both can and does interfere in our behalf, that his interference often is a direct result of our asking, that all reasonable prayers offered in a right spirit are certain of favorable answer. The requests may be as varied as the healthful and intelligent longings of human hearts.
Some scientists smile at what they style the childish credulity of the Christian"s creed. Our investigations, say they, have disclosed a universal reign of unchangeable law, not only in the production of material, but even of mental phenomena. We have found that within the walls of every particle of matter there is lodged a force; that these forces are of sixty-four or more different kinds, and their differences in nature and effect make all the differences in the substances about us; that they bear to each other certain unalterably fixed relations and exert over each other unalterably fixed influences. These relations we have been able by our experiments to reduce to mathematical formul?. We have found that these forces never manifest themselves unless certain conditions are fulfilled, and that, when they are, the forces invariably appear and act always in precisely the same way.
