Excerpt from The Lord's Prayer, Its Meaning and Message for to-Day Is there anything new to be said about the Lord's Prayer? And will this busy world condescend to heed?

Excerpt from The Lord's Prayer and the Ten Commandments I. First, let us observe the importance of having such a form at all as the Lord's Prayer left to us by the Founder of our faith. It was said once by a Scottish statesman, Give to any one you like the making of a nation's laws - give me the making of their ballads and songs, and that will tell us the mind of the nation. So it might be said, Give to any one you like the making of a Church's creed - or a Church's decrees or rubrics give me the making of its prayers, and that will tell us the mind of the Church or religious community. We have in this Prayer the one public universal prayer of Christendom.
