It is to such prayE>r that we can resort when we enter into our closet and s hut the door with the assurance that as we pray to our Father in secret, He will reward u s openly. 'Ve enter into this closet, "the st>cret place of the most High," as we rise above the arg-uments of material sense and realize that we are alone with God. No audible words, no human intermediary, no particular posture is necessary for s uch prayer to be h ea rd. We only need the deep and abiding senl'e that we are in the presence "of Him whom to know aright is Life t>ternal" (Science and Health, Pref., p. Yii).

Jesus made quite clear the difference betwee n those v·ho Panamas, $6 to $50 Leghorns, S6 to $20 prayed in the streets or synagogues to be heard of men, or who employed vain r epetitions, or who made long prayers expecting to be heard because of their much speaking, and the silent prayer with which we approach our heavenly Father in th e quiet of our closet, or m enta l hom e. Absent Treatnunt Right here it might be well to say a word about absent treatment, which is State and Jackson-Chicago not always understood by those unfamo 'r rington and Church-P vanston iliar with the teachings of Christian Sdence. As we begin to understand the allness, the infinitude of God, the humal'. limited Sf'nse of time and space Jose their imaginary power, and it is proYed that prayer under such conditions is quite as efficacous whether the patient is in thP. same room or thousands of miles away. Why think it incredible that healiPg should r esult from absent treatment? R ..·memher that when Jesus was at Cana in Galilee he healed instantaneously tht> nobleman's snn who was sick at Capernaum, seYeral miles away: again, when our :\laster came into Capernaum after His *-' XP lt*-'d ·' Xperience on the mountain, He healed the centurion's sen·ant who lay at home sick of the palsy. If God is omnipotent and omnipresent, there is no place where He is not, nor can we by any chance or possibility be separated from His presence or power. Our limited finite sense of space is being rapidly ovt>rcome. You recall that on one occasion after Jesus fed the five thousand, th~ disciples were returning by boat to Capernaum. A high wind arose and they were not making. much headway, when Jesus appeared, walking on the water. As -soon as He came abroad, immediately the ship was at the other side. Compared with this demonstration, our achievements in the way of modern, physical science-the radio, the aeroplane, the transmission of pictures by telegraphy- seem feeble. These appliances have always been possible, for the idea existed in infinite Mind, and they are only now coming to light because human thought Is throwing off Its limitations and, like the butterfly emerging from its FUEL OIL BRAuM Baos.
