What a place Scripture gives to prayer. How the Lord Jesus spent whole nights in prayer! How the early Church prayed! How the great apostle Paul prayed! Let us examine what place Christian Science accords to prayer. It says: "God is not influenced by man. The 'divine ear' is not an auditory nerve" (S. & H., p. 7).
"Prayer to a corporeal God affects the sick like a drug, which has no efficacy of its own, but borrows its power from human faith and belief" (S. & H., p. 12).
