Excerpt from An Exposition of the Litany

The Litany might well form a starting-point for lectures on dogmatic and moral theology. What is chiefly attempted in the following pages, with brief and simple but accurate treatment of doctrinal points, is instruction on Prayer,

to whom we pray,
for what, and for whom,

as we are guided by the Litany. The whole of the exposition was given in nine half-hour instructions at St. Paul's, Burlington, during the last Advent and Lenten seasons. The book might easily be used for reading to a congregation in a similar manner.

For convenience in this or in private use, a space is left marking sections with groups of petitions, though the book is not divided into chapters.
