PREFACE.
will be observed that there is much variety in the expression of ideas on the same topics.
The only alterations that have been made in the prayers as originally delivered are, the omission, here and there, of phrases often repeated, the introduction of a few passages from other prayers, and the correction of such slight errors of expression as are incidental to extemporaneous speaking.
It is believed that this little book will be dearly welcomed, not only by those at whose instance it has been prepared, but by thousands of others who have been “lifted up and strengthened” by these lofty utterances of a great and noble soul.
