“Some people like to put their prayers in words, while others like to think them and feel them. Still others like to put out of their minds for a time all earthly troubles, and just think of and feel that kindness and sympathy for their fellow man; and to think of the great spiritual questions which should have such great influence on the lives of everybody, and in this way let that spirit within them get complete control of them, and that is their way of praying. “No one can say which way is the right way, but if you do it in that way which does you the most good, for you it will be the right way.” Henry said he thought kneeling, and the attitude of prayer, were a “pretty” custom. They were the attitude of supplication. I questioned whether the best “prayer” was a supplication, said I did not like the word “prayer” for that reason. Virginia said she thought we often “felt” a supplication, even if we did not pray nor expect an answer. Marian had tried to get the “prayer-feeling” each night last week, but had not succeeded. She could not get calm, but thought of everything under the sun, and then fell asleep. Virginia said: “You can’t make your mind a blank.” I answered: “Making your mind a blank is not prayer.” Henry thought it good to consider our spiritual problems just before going to sleep, and so get into the right state of mind. Ruth agreed. Now I read Marian’s paper: “At a meeting of the Seekers on November 8th, we discussed the subject of Prayer. Prayer is really a feeling. When we feel truly in harmony with our inner and our bigger self, the feeling we have is prayer. Prayer can be made a source of strength. If we find some way to get into the prayer-feeling every day or at night, it will be a great help to us. As we reached a conclusion on this subject very soon, we began a discussion on Immortality, which we expect to finish next week.” Now we spoke of immortality. Although the six of us believed in it, by trying to convince Alfred we might gain much. I asked why, or whether, it was important to have an opinion concerning immortality. Marian said it was important for us to know, because we were interested, because we cared so much. I answered, that was one reason, and then there was another. Ruth said the other reason was that we acted according to our ideas of death, that it influenced our morality. “Yes,” I answered, “we live according to our expectations. Think of how the false or true ideas of a future life influenced morality in ages past, of the morals, good and bad, which sprang from the idea of heaven and hell! Alfred, do you think it is important to know?” “Yes,” said he, “it is important; but I can’t come to any conclusion. I am not convinced.” Some people feel sure one cannot know anything about immortality, and that therefore it is not worth thinking of it at all.
