Preface

M.HE Lord’s Prayer is short, but every word of U is laden with precious meaning. In its Jew petitions it covers the whole field of prefer. It is ea to repeat its we have been saying them from infancy; hut U is hard to say U through as a real prayer, Jbr it means the consecration of our whole life to God, and the submission qfwHl, ctffections, a7ui service to him. These chapters are not eapositions — tJiey are no more than studies. Their aim is to help in a devotional way by calling attention to the meaning of the several petitions, which too often is lost to our thought because of our familiarity with the sacred words.
