I believe that man's prayer was answered.

Oh! Thou Invisible Force whom men call God―

Thou, who workest in Thine own way, touching the souls of men.

Help us today to do good―to be helpful―to be guides―to strengthen souls.

Send the message of thy love down to the lonely and forsaken ones.

Move each heart here to know that no true prayer can be answered, which will not alleviate human suffering.

Move each one during some portion of the time―today―to give thanks for earthly bounties by practically feeding the hungry and clothing the cold―by giving comfort to the sick and afflicted.

May this Sabbath be rounded out in its fullness of blessing by spending some time in blessing others, and thus may they imitate Him who went about doing good. Amen.

I looked into that man's mind and found he meant what he prayed.

I looked into the faces of the people―made beautiful because of a tender sympathy―and saw the resolves to do some good before evening should come.

I did not stay to watch results, but I believe that man's prayer was answered.
