Excerpt from Science and Prayer: And Other Papers
The essays contained in this volume are chosen from among many on account of the permanent and vital importance of the themes discussed in them. Some Of them have never before been pub lished, but a part of them have appeared from time to time in periodicals or in pamphlet form.
The first, which furnishes the leading title Of this book, was prepared, at the request of the edi tor, for The North American Review. At the time not a few scientists were stoutly contending, Since the laws of nature are immutable, that the belief that God answers prayer for rain or the re covery of the sick is not only untenable but even preposterous. And some such scientists still lin ger among us.
The second paper, written only a few months ago, is an efiort to free the doctrine of the atone ment of all arbitrary elements and to interpret on natural and scientific grounds what the Scrip tures say of the sufferings of Christ.

Galusha Anderson was an American Baptist clergyman. He served as college president of the Old University of Chicago and Denison University.
Background
Galusha Anderson was born on March 7, 1832 at Clarendon, New York, United States, the seventh child of Seneca and Lucy (Webb) Anderson. He spent his early years on his father's farm at Bergen, Genesee County, New York.
His mother was a woman of unusual energy and ability, and he inherited many of her characteristics. His father was a deacon in the Baptist church, and was an ardent believer in the abolition of slavery and in total abstinence which were then unpopular and even dangerous causes.
Like him, the son was noted throughout his life for his unflinching courage and uncompromising determination.
Education
Anderson decided to enter the Christian ministry and then studied at Alfred Academy, going from there to the University of Rochester, where he received the bachelor's degree in 1854.
From 1854 to 1856 he was a student in Rochester Theological Seminary.
He was given the degrees of Doctor of Divinity (1866) and Doctor of Laws (1884) by the University of Rochester.
Career
Anderson's first pastorate (1856-1858) was in the First Baptist Church of Janesville, Wisconsin, where his ability was immediately evident.
In 1858 he was called to the pastorate of the Second Baptist Church of St. Louis. This was at the time the largest church in the denomination, west of the Mississippi. His pastorate continued until after the close of the Civil War. He was outspoken in his convictions on the slavery question, and when the war broke out devoted himself with unsparing vigor to the task of helping to keep Missouri in the Union. Inevitably he encountered strong opposition. Many influential members of his church repudiated him. For a time his life was in danger.
In 1863 his health broke under the strain; but after a vacation spent in Europe, he returned to his post. His influence in Missouri at this critical period was very great. The story is told vividly in his A Border City during the Civil War.
In 1866 he was called to Newton Theological Institution as professor of sacred rhetoric, church polity, and pastoral duties. After seven years of teaching, he returned to the pastorate, serving the Strong Place Baptist Church, Brooklyn, New York, 1873-1876, and the influential Second Baptist Church of Chicago, 1876-1878.
In 1878 he was elected president of the old University of Chicago. The institution was hopelessly in debt, and he heroically undertook the task of placing it on its feet. He succeeded in paying off the floating indebtedness, but was unable to meet the mortgage obligations and was compelled to see the University close its doors in 1885 in spite of his devoted efforts.
He took the pastorate of the First Baptist Church of Salem, Massachusetts, in 1885.
In 1887 he was elected president of Denison University, Granville, Ohio, where he remained for three years. He was called to the chair of homiletics, church polity, and pastoral duties, in the Baptist Union Theological Seminary at Morgan Park, Illinois, in 1890.
When this school was taken over as the Divinity School of the new University in 1892, Anderson came with the rest of the faculty and continued his teaching. But he was a convinced conservative in theology and did not sympathize with the prevailing liberal tendencies of the Divinity School. This attitude somewhat restricted his influence.
After his retirement in 1904, he lived in Massachusetts, engaged in writing.

Religion
Anderson was converted to the Baptist faith later in his life.
Connections
Anderson was married to Selina Dorr in 1856. In 1860 she and their three sons died within a period of six months.
In April 1861, he married Mary Eleanor Roberts, by whom he had five children: three sons, Frederic Lincoln, Elbridge Roberts, and Norman Kendall, and two daughters, Lucy Caroline and Mary Freeman.
