The circulation Of American dailics is, this Yeal

The Iord,s Prayer.

In all countries and times, in all climes and
ages, he who offers this prayer prays appropri-
ately. It is alike adspted to all diversities of
rank and condition. The prince in his palace
can offer no better prayer, the peasant who
gathers his family within his lOwly cottage fer
their daily worship uses it with equal proprie-
Ity. Itequslly describes the wants of the rich
and poor Of the noble aud lowly. If you are
at home with your family, lis adapted to your
condition; if fsojourning with strangers, it suits
our case as swell. If you are prosperous and
happy, contended and grateful the feelings of
your heart are as well expressed in the words
of this prayer; Ifyop are preplcxed and sad,
detected and sorrowful, you can do no better
than to seek for the sweet spirit of filial faith
and submission which prevades it ..sat.
Whatever your condition may be, whatever
your affections, anxieties, or sorrow, you may
have, if you can sincerely offer up to God all
these petitions, you are happy; ndif God shall
graciously bestow all that you thus ask, you
will not lack any good thing s' ell.
This prayer never wears out ;'itnever grows
old it never loses its freshness. You learned
it when little child, Esping its beautiful phra-
scs one by one, attentivcly taking, them from
the lips Of your mother. You recte it
with no less interest in the strength of your
manhood and it will smoothe and confOrty you
when your head shall be white, and your voict
shall "turu again to childish prattle."' 'ala
The Saviour gave it to his disciples eighteeI
centuries ago But with all the worlds change
Through all yicissitudes Of history, the want
which yet press upon every human creature
the dependent condition in which every hu
man, creature is, the reverence, the humility
the faith which every human creature shoult
feel, are as well Sot forth In this prayer as whei
\ our Lord uttered it. 1t is SO in every land
will be SO in all ages until the end Of tim
