NNE Of the most astonishing requests

great religious festivals in the Temple.
In the latter place there was very
elaborate liturgy of prayer both SUM
and spoken by the Le1itcs and re-
sponded to by the worshiprers.
The books Of the Old Testament
these mcn'q Bibles were full of
prayers. historical prayers used for
great occasions in the afflirs of the
Hebrews; personal prayers used by in-
dividuals in the stresses Of lifc and
what might be called folk prayers that
every one used. as we'll MS the regular
liturgical prayers for set times and sea.

estant Christians are taken bodily or

familiar from their earl, st youth. Yet
