Podcast Manuscript: Among the many forms and methods of concentration, prayer is the most common and the most potent. The secret of the religious world has been that prayer at the altar; with a prayer-book; through hymn, ritual, rite, and environment; has led the soul to the contemplation of holy thoughts, and by concentrating upon them, the thought thus sown in the mind has influenced the life for good.
