The Need for Prayer Is Great

THERE are times, it seems to me, when the urge to pray is imperious in a man's heart. The instincts and real needs of humanity destroy the rationalizing and the justifications of the skeptic. Even the skeptic and so-called "atheist" belies his own logic and unbeliefs when he is plunged into a deep personal calamity--is faced with a serious crisis--or finds himself in the grip of an evil thing which threatens to destroy him. These are the times when this "atheist" and skeptic finds himself in anguished prayer to a God in whom he had refused to believe.
