Excerpt from The Lord's Prayer: In the Early Church

IN the following Essay I have treated the Lord's Prayer simply from the point of view of criticism. Of the sacredness of the Prayer, both because Christ taught it to His disciples and because His disciples have used it 'from the first day until now, ' I am deeply conscious. But I believe that no subject however sacred lies outside the rightful province of the critic who regards reverence and the endeavour after accuracy as elementary duties.
