PROOF by ETHEL ROMIG FULLER

First Line: IF RADIO'S SLIM FINGERS CAN PLUCK A MELODY
Last Line: WHY SHOULD MORTALS WONDER IF GOD HEARS PRAYER?
Subject(s): PRAYER; RADIO; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

If radio's slim fingers can pluck a melody
From night—and toss it over a continent or sea;
If the petalled white notes of a violin
Are blown across the mountains or the city's din;
If songs, like crimson roses, are culled from thin blue air—
Why should mortals wonder if God hears prayer?
