[Polybius]

Matthew VI:5.--And when you pray, be not like the hypocrites, who affect to pray standing in the assemblies, and at the corners of the streets, that men may observe them.

I seriously doubt that the World War Two American G.I.'s, who carried rosaries made out of string into battle so that the enemy would not hear any noise, prayed standing or at the corners of the streets so that men could observe them.

That was not why I posted that quote.
