PRAYERS FOR FAMILY USE. From Ancient Sources. LONDON: J. MASTERS AND CO., 78, NEW BOND STREET. MDCCCLXXXIV. 14010 35. THIS little book of Family Prayers, which has hitherto been privately printed, having been found useful for some years in several households, I have been asked to recommend it, which I gladly do. The arrangement is of the simplest possible character, consistent with the preservation of the congregational form of worship. The prayers are taken almost entirely from ancient sources. It is presumed that on every day, except Sunday, some short Lesson from the Bible, chosen at the discretion of the Reader, will be read to the family before the Psalm. WALTER J. LAWRANCE.

Our feet shall stand in thy gates: O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is built as a city that is at unity in itself. For thither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD to testify unto Israel, to give thanks unto the Name of the LORD. : For there is the seat of judgment: even the seat of the house of David. pray for the peace per that love thee. of Jerusalem they shall pros : : Peace be within thy walls and plenteousness within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions' sakes: I will wish thee prosperity. Yea, because of the house of the LORD our God : I will seek to do thee good. Glory be to the FATHER, &c. As it was in the beginning, &c. B |
