Prayer is sometimes used, like the Roman Catholic confessional, to cancel sin. This error impedes religion. Sin is forgiven only as it is destroyed by Christ. An apostle says that Jesus came "to destroy the works of the Devil." We cannot escape the penalty due for sin.
Meekly our Master met the common mockery of his unconscious grandeur. The indignities he received, his followers must endure, until his religion triumphs. He won eternal honors. He overcame the world, the flesh, and all error, thus proving their nothingness. He wrought a full salvation from sin, sickness, and death. —Science and Health.
