RIME Prayer by Telegraph. The. Concord sage has suggested that the electric wire is about to heumonize all religions, and do away with- every ridic .tious tradition.. It is to be the universal medium by which , all creation may 'com pare notes at once, and out of the multi tude of opinions bring , the correct one. We have also • been told that love letter telegraphing is quite popular England and France; and one case is on record in this country.where a whole 'cotirtaktip was carried on in that way. But the most peculiar and astounding ,phase of tele graphic beneficence is the appeal whicha correspondent of the /mono/ of the Tele grok makes, that we may have "prayer by telegraph." He_ proceeds at some length to develop his idea, which is that non-church goers alight be hit in this way; and smitten to the heart. To pope larize prayer' is his aim. Tee news. paper, he thinks, should have an especial , prayer column. Why - not ?
