Does God calmly watch His creatures walking blindfold to the Pit—struggling to tear away the bandage as they walk? Can He only judge, and can He never help?
"Pray?"
Is God a petty-minded "jealous" God to be propitiated like the gods of the heathen?
Must we continually ask, or, not asking, not receive?
And if we know not to ask aright and to demand the best and highest?
Cannot the well-fed, well-read, well-paid Chaplain give advice?
"God knoweth best. Ask unceasingly. Pray always."
Why?—if. He knows best, is All Merciful, All Powerful?
"Praise?"
Is God a child, a savage, a woman? Shall I offer adulation that would sicken me.
