THIS IS THE LORD'S PRAYER found in the gospel of MATTHEW 6:9-13

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Mary Baker Eddy has said on pages 16 and 17 of Science and Health:

Here let me give what I understand to be the spiritual sense of the Lord’s Prayer:

Our Father which art in heaven,
Our Father-Mother God, all-harmonious,

Hallowed be Thy name.
Adorable One.

Thy kingdom come.
Thy kingdom is come; Thou art ever-present.

Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Enable us to know,— as in heaven, so on earth,— God is omnt~otent, supreme.

Give us this day our daily bread;
Give us grace for to-day; fred the famished affections;

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And Love is reflected in love;

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
And God leadeth us not into temptation, but delivereth us from sin, disease, and death.

For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
For God is infinite, all-power, all Ljfe Truth, Love, over all and All.

What a Little Girl Said

My little girl often assists me in writing out the Sunday-school lessons. Last week, when we came to the verse where the woman was taken before Jesus, and he said, “Let him that is without sin cast the first stone,” she said: “Mama, I have a thought. After you have finished will you listen? It is just like this: Stones are hard thoughts, and we have no right to hold or utter unkind thoughts toward anyone.” To me this was very beautiful. I thought how every unkind thought weighed down and oppressed; and how necessary it is to keep our “gaze to the light.”
