The Power of Harmony in Relation to Prayer.
“Again I say unto you that if two of you shall agree [1] on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them.” [2] The word symphony is strictly applied to the harmonies of sounds in music. And there are indeed among musical sounds some accordant and others discordant. But the Evangelic Scripture is familiar with the name as applied to musical matters in the passage, “He heard a symphony and dancing.”

But two made a symphony, Paul and Sosthenes, when writing the first Epistle to the Corinthians; [11] and after this Paul and Timothy when sending the second Epistle to the same.
