THE LORD’S PRAYER.

“Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom

come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day

our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for thine is

the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.”

As soon as you learn to read, let your prayers be accompanied by the

reading daily of at least a few verses out of the Bible. Take great

pains also to teach your children to pray. There are a great many

pretty little prayers they can learn, and some of them are in verse. I

will give two of these, though I dare say some of you know them already.
