Excerpt from The Graver Thoughts of a Country Parson God is more acceptable and effectualfi than it is else where: we know that not the spot, if you could be sure of it, where our Redeemer died for us upon the Cross, not the spot where He knelt in Gethsemane, gaining our salvation by His agony, - is a better place for pray ing, than is the bedside by which your little children kneel morning and evening, -than is the quiet place Where you are wont to pray, - than is the Space com passed by these walls, where I trust we have all some times been well ass-ured of our Saviour's presence, ao cording to His word. Wheresoever you heartily draw near to God, the promise is that He Will draw near to you. Wherever two or three are gathered together: wherever the solitary suppliant, in spirit and truth does but utter the God be merciful to me a sinner is the place of acceptable prayer. The poor woman of Sy char had grown up in the belief, that according to the Jewish law, Jerusalem was the place where men ought to worship. But we know better than that. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth: that is the charter under which the Church of Christ offers its prayers. And though the wide, broad principle breathes from the Whole New Testament, and needs not to be founded upon Single texts; still it is cheering to remember, as we lift up our heart for a moment as we walk the street.
