This mode of devotion, for those who are not able to do their own praying, is no doubt as effectual with the heathen gods as any, and might answer as well as much of the Christian praying in heathen countries, and save much mind work; this mode is quite like organ grinding of sacred music. Delivered in Washington, January 15, 1865. The second mode of prayer is much used in our country, and by some of our most respectabl...
