Lucia. Suppose, as I was going home from school, some friend of mine should get angry with me, and throw a stone at me; I could pray not to be tempted to do the same, to throw a stone at her, and would not.
Mr. Alcott. And would the not doing anything in that case be a prayer and an action? Keeping your body still would be the body's part of it.
Lucia. Yes.
Ellen. I heard a woman say, once, that she could pray best when she was at work; that when she was scouring the floor she would ask God to cleanse her mind.
Mr. Alcott. I will now vary my question. Is there any prayer in Patience?
All. A great deal.
Mr. Alcott. In Impatience?
All. No; not any.
Mr. Alcott. In Doubt?
George K. No; but in Faith.
