The Message Of The Lord S Prayer To Men Of The Twentieth Century Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Message of the Lord's Prayer to Men of the Twentieth Century John R. Mott Once said, An alarming weak ness among Christians is that we are producing Christian activities faster than we are producing Christian experiences. But in the strain and stress Of war, in the dark ened homes Of the Allies, and on the blood-soaked fields of Flanders, the prayer of the Lord Jesus Christ came into its own again, and everywhere men are studying it with renewed and serious interest.

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 stop to talk with him a moment, he cannot help it. This book may be said to be printed, rather than published; 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. There are some things in this little volume, of which some who read it, perhaps many, may disapprove. The views here promulgated have not been rashly adopted. With a scanty Library, and few counsellors, the author has studied out for himself many of the results presented in these Discourses. He is satisfied that they are correct, and his prayer is, that if they are not, one effect of their publication may be his own conviction of his error. Criticism is neither deprecated nor defied.

Excerpt from A Study of the Lord's Prayer Lord, teach us to pray, said one of the disciples; but was not the Lord always do ing this for them?

Excerpt from Lectures on the Lord's Prayer It is indeed one of the marks of the divine authorship of this brief document, that fitting as it does all hearts, and adapted as it is to all times and scenes, it yet preserves a freshness and richness which the new emergencies and the new applications of each successive century seem only the more to enhance and illustrate. And this feature of the prayer must be pleaded as an apology, for what might else seem rashness in sending forth a new series Of remarks upon a portion of scripture already so fully discussed, and by men of highest renown and worth in the churches. Amidst all its perpetual and immovable Unity, the Lord's Prayer has its boundless and inexhaustible Variety. In the life Of every human being, how much there is of sameness in the journey from the same cradle to the same grave; and yet if written in detail, no two pilgrimages would be found in all things coincident, each having its own peculiar and nove and characteristic incidents. And as every life has thus its freshness, - so the application, - to the life Of each individual and to the social life of each nation and of each century, -of the language furnished here by the great Ruler of that life.
