Excerpt from Improvement Era, Vol. 25: March, 1922Returning to the principles governing prayer, we may say that while they have not been revealed to man in their fulness, yet we are not left in doubt as to the operation of many of them. In the first place the laws governing prayer are as immutable as those of chemistry, agriculture or any other science. That is to say, response is only to be predicated by complying with the conditions of the problem. Just as the farmer reaps his harvest as a result of following definite rules of planting and cultiva tion, so we obtain answers to prayer by complying with cer tain requests of our heavenly Father. For instance, we must live every day of our lives in such manner that we are entitled to the companionship of his Holy Spirit, for without this we sever the connection by which we communicate with him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
