The Social Power of Prayer
Acts 1:12-14
Then returned they to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.…


Akin to the moral are the social effects of prayer. Prayer makes men as members of society different in their whole being from those who do not pray. It gilds social intercourse and conduct with a tenderness, an unobstructiveness, a sincerity, a frankness, an evenness of temper, a cheerfulness, a collectedness, a con-stunt consideration for others, united to a simple loyalty to truth and duty, which leavens and strengthens society.

(Canon Liddon.)
