Excerpt from Inter-Communion With God: An Exploration of Spiritual Power as Manifested in Intercourse and Co-Operation Between God and Man The germinal thought of this book was conceived during the preparation of an earlier volume on the office of Public Devotion. While "Extempore Prayer" was expressly designed to aid theological students and ministers in the discharge of a serious public office, the present work deals with communion as a private experience, and appeals to all classes who desire to understand God's contact with mankind. As the term inter-communion is intended to signify more than is commonly supposed to be connoted by the word prayer, and involves an exercise of the soul not sufficiently cultivated, the reader is invited to become an explorer seeking deeper insight into his own experience, while investigating the operation of spiritual laws. Every thinker engaged - in science, in economics, in philosophy, in education - is endeavouring to extend the limits of his especial domain. The religious man alone does not regard himself as an investigator, yet the widest and highest and most important field in the realms of knowledge and power awaits exploration in the spiritual sphere.
