Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ... FORMS OF PRIVATE PRAYER. "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples."-- 'HESE words express the natural feelings of the awakened mind, perceiving its great need of God's help, yet not understanding well what its particular wants are, or how they are to be relieved. The disciples of John the Baptist and the disciples of Christ waited on their respective masters for instruction how to pray. Their need has been the need of Christians ever since. All of us in childhood, and most men ever after, require direction how to pray; and hence the use of Forms of prayer, which have always obtained in the Church. John taught his disciples; Christ gave the apostles the prayer which is distinguished by the name of the Lord's Prayer; and after He had ascended on high, the Holy Spirit has given us excellent services of devotion by the mouth of those blessed saints whom from time to time He has raised up to be overseers in the Church. In the words of St . Pa'il, We know not what we should pray for as we ought;" but "the Spirit helpeth our infirmities;" and that not only by guiding our thoughts, but by directing our words. This, I say, is the origin of Forms of prayer, of which I mean to speak to-day; viz., these two undeniable truths: first, that all men have the same spiritual wants, and secondly, that they cannot of themselves express them. . . I suppose no one is in any difficulty about the use of forms of prayer in public worship; for common sense almost will tell us that when many are to pray together as one man, if their thoughts are to go together, they must agree beforehand what is to be the subject of their prayers; nay, what the words of their prayers, if there is to be any certainty, composure, ease, and regularity in...

Book Description
Excerpt from Miscellanies: From the Oxford Sermons and Other Writings Providence thus acts daily. The early life of all men is private. It is as children, generally, that their cha racters are formed to good or evil; and those who form them to good, their truest and chief benefactors, are un known to the world. It has been remarked that some of the most eminent Christians have been blessed with re ligious mothers, and have in after life referred their own graces to the instrumentality of their teaching. Augustine has preserved to the Church the history of his mother, Monica; but in the case of others, even the name is denied to us of our great benefactress, whosoever she was, and sometimes, doubtless, the circumstance of her service altogether.
