Excerpt from A Book of Prayer: From the Public Ministrations of Henry Ward Beecher The Introduction is made up of extracts from Sermons and Lecture-room Talks by Mr. Beecher on the subject of. Prayer. The Prayers are selections from unpublished short-hand notes taken at the various weekly ser vices in Plymouth Church, between the years 1858 and 1887. Where practicable, the dates are given; but there are many, originally written out (but not used) for publication with dated sermons, for which the clue of time has been lost. There has been therefore no attempt to arrange them chrono logically. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
