Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Why Men Pray
Again all men have their moments of telling the Unseen their exultation, their joy. Returning health after illness and weakness gives a man this sense of general thankfulness; so also a bright day after rainy weather, the coming of spring with its warmth and greenness, or a radiantly beautiful scene, will start a man to singing to something or some one not himself. Voltaire, seeing one day the morning sun, impulsively exclaimed, Dieu le Pere, je t' adore and then, looking about, cautiously added a modifying sentence lest his in voluntary exclamation be interpreted as a sign of faith. Walt Whitman was also subconsciously praying when he Spoke of caressing life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
