Présentation de l'éditeur

The introductory sentences are from theB ible. The poetical selections have been gathered from all accessible sources, having less regard for novelty than for the choicest utterance of faith and piety. While the new may charm by freshness, the old grows richer by tender and precious association. For the prayers, these pages are indebted largely to ancient liturgies, reproduced in many modern service-books ;also, to many of the living and the dead, whose names are not given, since the material they furnish has sometimes been altered, or condensed to adapt it to the required brevity and simplicity. To the Hymn Book andS ervice Book prepared by Rev. James Martineau, acknowledgments are especially due. The stanzas taken from Longfellow, Whittier, Lowell, and Holmes are used by permission of James R. Osgood Co., from their copyright editions. The spirit shrinks from too weighty an encumbrance of letter and form ;and the neglect of daily prayer in the home is doubtless partly due to the formalism with which it has been burdened. The trellis is not the vine; much less is it the fruit. Yet the trellis has its value if it serves to lift the vine from the earth into the fresh air and gracious sunlight that shall quicken it to bear more ample and luscious fruit. With its slight framework of ritual, may this book of Praise and Prayer help our souls to rise Daily into the celestial atmosphere, where the Holy Spirit shall inspire that life more abundantly, the best expression of which is found In richer, sweeter fruits of daily living. R. R. S.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
