swercd that the suggestion is Il practical
one. lie writes: There are hundreds of

Father who art in heaven - Hold on
there. says the superintendent. Try that
over again all together. Now, them

but "Our Father" Now, once more,
{ Our Father who ant in hcavcn." Notice
there, "in hearen," It's not your earthly
father, but your father in heacen, that you
are addressing now. Go on 'Hallowed
be thy name. Steady there! Steady
That word "hallowcd is to be spoken
softly, rcverently. Don't blurt it out as if |
you were drivin: oxen.' A good way of
promoting reverence that would be
wouldn't it? Did you ever near of any,
thing of that sort in the service of praise?"
