Sermons On The Lord S Prayer Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Sermons on the Lord's Prayer No one reads a Preface yet not to write one, would seem to argue stolid indifference, or overweening confidence, as to the success of his efforts, neither of which the author feels. He has, besides, a word or two to say for himself, to the reader of this book. If any are so impatient that they cannot sto to talk with him a moment, he cannot help it. This book may be said to be printed, rather than published 5 for it is not supposed that it will fall into the hands of many who are not in some way acquainted with the author. It would be idle to weary any one with the reasons which have induced him thus to venture out from his retirement, in the very beginning, as it were, of his ministry. He cannot plead the novel and interesting apology, that he has been urged, or even solicited. He has taken the responsibility, and must abide by the consequences.

Excerpt from Sermons on the Lord's Prayer: To Which Are Added, Three Sermons on Other Subjects Several members of the New Church have often expressed a strong desire for more books of an introductory and popular charac ter, - books in which the doctrines of the Church should be presented in a plain and practical manner, but, as far as possible, divested of' the peculiarities of style and language in the original works of Swedenborg. Influenced by this desire, and by a wish to do some thing towards supplying this Obvious want in the Church, I now offer to them and to the public, this little volume of Ser'mons on the Lord's Prayer. They were originally written about threeyears since, for a mixed, miscellaneous audiencer And while it was hoped they would not be unacceptable to the members of the New Church, they were intended to be so plain as to be understood by those not ac quainted with the doctrines of that Church. This is mentioned not as an apology for their imperfections, but as the reason-why they appear in a style more loose and popular than wouldbe suited to an exclusively New Church congregation; though, perhaps, better adapted to the object for which they are now published.
