Then Gunnar said, "All things that may be will we do for thee, so thou abidest here long; both dominion shalt thou have, and our sister freely and unprayed for, whom another man would not get for all his prayers." Sigurd says, "Thanks have ye for this wherewith ye honour me, and gladly will I take the same."
"Here upon the mountains, unprayed for and uncoffined, shall my body lie, for thy voice hath called me forth. "Here my black sins shall see and pursue me even to destruction; but in the city I could have escaped with the crowding souls that confuse Death to count." Then, as a remembrance of her sins came heavy upon her, she gave a loud cry and covered her face with her hands.
He never rose again. Perhaps, in her leeway, the frigate drifted over him and thus the violated laws of his country were avenged. But we get used to these things, in this best of all possible worlds; and if the poacher died unwept, unknelled, unprayed for, all that can be said of the matter is that many a better man has met with a worse fate. I do not get on with this life at all.
Think of the thousands about us going, unprayed for, down to perdition! Society tolerates a man as it does not tolerate a woman. God did business with Adam, but he does not mention Eve after her fall. Society recognizes a fallen man as it cannot recognize a fallen woman. Thus her crime is proclaimed to be the greater than man's, even by the world. Let us be just.
He sidled, just like an animal, to the doorway, and then slipped up to the counter, behind the great mahogany case of `artists' materials. His father and the old man were within the shop now, and Edwin overheard that they were discussing a topic that had lately been rife in religious circles, namely, Sir Henry Thompson's ingenious device for scientifically testing the efficacy of prayer, known as the `Prayer Gauge. The scheme was to take certain hospitals and to pray for the patients in particular wards, leaving other wards unprayed for, and then to tabulate and issue the results.
"Ahone!" quoth she, "poor body that hath no one to weep over thy loneliness, that must lie uncoffined and unprayed for, who wast so tenderly cared for in thy life! Where art thou, my father, where art thou, my mother, that this should be? And where is he to whom this poor body was given to cherish and to love?"
Ah! if one could but see clearly, with eyes purged from every remnant of earthliness, see as the angels do, the thick fog of unrisen and unprayed prayers clinging to the rafters of every empty church, we might well shudder in the clogging heavy atmosphere.
Unprayed for, I feel very much as if a diver were sent down to the bottom of a river with no air to breathe, or as if a fireman were sent up to a blazing building and held an empty hose; I feel very much as a soldier who is firing blank cartridge at an enemy, and so I ask you earnestly to pray that the Gospel may take saving and working effect on the minds of those men to whose notice it has been introduced by us.
