Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Thoughts on Prayer
Never did men need to offer the disciples' prayer, Lord, increase our faith, with more earnest and passionate sincerity. The average sentiment, or what is familiarly called the spirit of the age, no longer holds to fundamental doctrines with any firm or nervous grasp. The peril is no longer external to the Church. Even there, the Sphere of reason encroaches constantly on that of faith. Men are growing impatient of dogmatic truth. Doctrines must prove their right to be believed, and the progress of destructive criticism threatens to obscure almost every single truth which the Church has held from the beginning.
