ABSTRACT
Prayer has not only bridged the distance between men and God, but obliterated the distinctions between variously-gifted souls. They are made one by a common worship—one in spirit and in potency. The Jewish mystics in every age have felt this power of prayer to throw a divine environment about the worshipper, and so to make him accessible to the Divine grace. Prayer, cry the Cabalists, is a celestial garment, clad in which the devout spirit penetrates into Paradise. The perception of it is helping to make the daily life-story of hundreds of ordinary people to-day. Oppressed and tortured by the most poignant of world-tragedies, devout bands of men and women are meeting regularly in London and elsewhere in order to bring the power of a common worship to bear upon the existing course of events, so that haply humanity may be delivered quickly from all this present ruin and woe.
