. \it: is the very' beginning · of this prayer· . which has always been misunder­s:tqo .d . in . different .ways. A c.ertain ·sense of ·l3a:re fy and . c'omfort steals over those who·.:·l;)ray e .. a.rnes .tiy, anq from their . hearts, wh~fn; th~i say these introauctor"y words' ani-r' :t}-iis 'fe~:i ing remains with ·them for som~·. ·-moment's after their prayers are over.

This explains - two .things. In the

first place, that the man can only con­centra'te his attentton ·· on these prelim­inary words, which have inspire a him with these feelings. And secondly, the fact that his inspiration . is so short-lived, shows that he is far off from unaerstan~­ing what he has been saying.

It is clear that either he has not been able to keep up the strain of ser­ious thought for any continuous time, or 1 t reveals the superficial 1 ty of riis nature. Otherwise he would find that the next word, as soon as it becomes alive in him, would inspire him with another feeling, one corresponding to their. ten.or. If he understood · thE= real · meaning of these woras and ·. their ~ importance, tl-)e sensation of comfort . and _safety woula cease and a different feeling woulq ·be awakened ;tp his breast. ·

. . . . . . . ' .

some p~opie, see in the words "our Father," a confirmation .· of _their opinion that they ~escend from God himself, .anii, · if prcperiy developed, will finally b~- -· come C1 iv"!.·,1e ,. and that in the meantime ' they partake of divine nature. Besides this th ere are other err.ors regarding this ,sentence, but most men look upon it as an irivocation to the Almighty and say it mechanically and, as it costs the least effort ana. thinking, they repeat it thoughtlessly. Although it is .Just . these words which should be uttered w~th the greatest fervor of which man shows he is capable, but none of these inter­pretations are right.

The son qf God chose these words to

'

The re are t!-iree parts- . to this prayer . . The first ·part :shows ·the :·self-abasement ~ of the soul humbling itself before aoa-., . seeking to unfold itself before .him · and aeclare it ·genuine, and a·ev :oted ·subjec: .:... tion ·,. before .1 t utters a rles ire ~ .The son ·,. of GOd tries to -make it evident that this is t11e feeling a man must be conscious of if J-ie desires to approach the Almighty. Hence these introductory words appear in .

. . I tl-ie light of a sacred vow of allegiance ~ "our Father which art in Heave ,-n." i

( consider a moment, a prayer is ncft

synonymous with a r~quest, -otherwi$e · there .would .:be no thanksgiving ·prayers which cont a in ' no request . The · pra ye .r ·· .,_s: not to beg. · In their mistaken way .of thinking, men are not in the habit of coming to aoa unless th.ey expect some­thlng, if 1.ndeea they ·ao not aemand some­thing of 1-fim. A rlemand lies in every re ,­quest., anrl man cannot deny that he al­ways comes witri some : request. rt may b,e only a vague desire : to secure a place in ~eaven. He aoes know wl-ia t it is to praise GOr'l jubilantly for the glaq enjoyment ·of his conscious being., or b~ing able to do 1-iis appointed work in ~ooperation for the welfare of his surroundings in ac- ·· cordance with aod ,·s ·will. He aoes not ·.

even suspect ·· that just · • .. this :, :. -and only this, will furtl-ler . h·is ··.own welfare, ·his · progress and advaneement. ·; . Th1s is the basis that "The Lord's· -Prayer" rests on. The son of ooa only sought to bring about man's welfare, and could not have - worded it otherwise. Thus ·the prayer he taught is anything but a begging petition. rt is an earne ·st and comprehensive vow on the part - of man to lay himself at hia Master's feet. Jesus gave this .. prayer to his disciples who were then .pre .pared to worship GOd in Truth anti Purity, to serve ood · in or by their lives, and · by j;l:lJ~ service, to honor His . Holy Will.

Before he begins, · man should con­s iae ·r whether he dares make · use of this . prayer, and inquire of his conscience whether in repeating it, he is not try­ing to deceive his ooa.~,he·1ntroductory sentence admonished everyone to examine his conscience to make sure whether he . really is what he profes~es to b.e in his prayer, whether he may present himself · before ao~ ·without hypocrisy .

. If the first three sentences strJke . a root 1n:.- ldu, they will lead you to the steps of ·the thro .ne· of ooti. They are the way, the sure and the · .safe way, providec't they are realize~ in a man's soul; but ir these sentences do not live, that is, become part · of man's living soul, they cannot reach aoa.
