Crudities of Public Prayer,
From the Chicago Standard CBaptiso.


For five ministers that can preach to the
edifcation of intelligent Christians, theDe is
hardly more than one that can genuinely
lead in prayer. The rest occupy a GER
tain conventional number of minutes in the
| enumeration of desired blessings, In lam
guage of a recognized dialect, neither bibli-
cal nor colloquial, and round out the prayer
to a familiar close. The beginning of the
trouble is that, so far as we know, no seri-
Gus attention is given in theological SEM
1nartes to the training of young ministers
in public prayer. Little time Is given
to the study of the best examples OF such
prayers, in the Bible. the writings of saints
and sages, the Book of Common Prayer"
the works of modern preachers. The young
man of limited education has his sermons
rgldly criticised by his instructors, as to
material, arrangement, style, delivery. In
his public prayers he clings to provincial
1sms of speech, such as forgive US of our
sins" to the childish too familiar Dear
Jesus" to the hackneyed phrases of the
prayer meeting room-"Bless all for whom
we should pray" May thy spirit rest down
upon u.s., and that to bless this
branch of thy Zion" and the like. He con-
tinues to utter prayers without dignity,
without depth, without reality; and in all
this he goes on without guide, learning
better, if he ever does. by observing the
his own. This is all wrong. The public
prayer, though limited in time. is equally
important with the sermon as a means of
raising human hearts to the level Of things
divine. 1t is worth studying. and worth
teaching We venture to say that many
prayers are spoken every Sunday morn
ing which the speakers would not be will
ing to have appear in print unrevised, SIM
ply because their crudities-grammatical,
rhetorical, theological-would be too OBJ
vious The notion prevails in many quar-
ters that prayer should be entirely extern
poraneous, and evidence abounds that some
ministers give time to DrSDaratinn for
this most important part of their public
duties. A sentence that is too vague, too
weak too repetitious for a sermon is not
fit for prayer. Language that would not
pass muster in sermon can never be
worthy Of the sacred mystery and niJacIs
of PRAYER

The curfew tolls til knell Of parting day
The evening shadows blanket all the town,
The weary (hic) husband homeward takes his way
In fear his waiting wife may call him down.
Behind the bilboards on the vacant lots
The hod-up crouches with his bag of sand,
And clustered round the corpulent 1ackpots
Sit anxious men with pictured cards in hand,
And lovers stroll beneath the starlit skies
The arc lights spit and splutter overhead
The noisy tram cars roll along the street,
The big policeman Of the funeral tread
Swipes peanuts from the stands along his beat
Within the washee house the snowy shirt
With spray from ruckered mouth Wun Lunges
vets,
And providers pick cigar stumps from the dirt
Which, later will get in cigarettes,
And DER his fragrant, greasy steaming
OF mystery stauds the hot tamale man.
In moisture joints where glasses clink we hear
AS through the dmly lighted streets walk
Men curse expansion Ger their lager beer
With tongues expanded till they scarce can talk
And heelers flush with cash Of candidate
To drink with them the red -nosed FOUNDERS press
And in their slangy eioquence dilate
Upon the ballots guarded sacredness,
And ask the bummers to do all they can
To land their pure, unspotted, honest man.
The night creeps on; the hackmen at the call
Their sleep-banked eyes with chilly fingers rub
Then speed away with rattling wheels to haul
The men with tangled legs home from the club
The tired barkeepers close and lock their DOORS
The buns themselves to ten cent beds betake
The weary cop In darkened hallway snores
And dreams of clues he not when awake,
The wicked town relinqushes Its sins
To catch nap before the day begins
