 Tluj experience ot'cler^viuen, in non-liturgical cliujciies, luis been clitterent from 
 that of the author it' they li:ivo not at times felt the need of sonie guide or manual l»v 
 which the Held of conteniplatijon it« spiritual things could he cnlart^ed, and wherehv 
 there wotdd he siigg-'sted to the mind themes suited to the necessities of the worshipers 
 as they were led hy them in the service of prayer in the sanctuary. Also the need of 
 something to keep the mind from always falling into the same line of thought, and thus 
 causing: the use continually of stereotyped phrases or forms of expression. Lavmen also 
 have felt the need of some ma lual whereby they might l)e (iirected in their efforts to he- 
 oome proHcieut in the service of public prayer. To meet such felt needs as these has 
 been the aim of the author in the preparation of tiie following pages. Whilst laving out 
 and elaborating- his own plan, he has consulted several liturgies, with a view of divest- 
 ing this work, as far as possible, of liturgical characteristics. The Sabbath-days are di- 
 vested of all special terms of designation. As there are five Sabbaths, possible, in each 
 month, there are two outlines for each Sabbath, making one hundred and twenty for the 
 year; and in addition, sixty outlines for as many week-day services. As the work is 
 view^ed in its completed form, the author sees a numl)er of particulars in which it might 
 be improved; as for instance in reducing to one head those subjects which are substan- 
 tially identical although inserted under slightly different forms of expression. Also the 
 eliminating of such passages of scripture as do not suggest lines of thought other than 
 those found in the passages with which they are connected. However, recognizing the 
 many imperfections of the work, it is sent out with the hope that it may be of some ser- 
 vice in aiding clergymen and laymen in the important matter of non-liturgical prayer.

 That some aid or <lireftif)H in prayer i.s needed, is manifest from ilie exiierience of 
 ])rofessing christians. In ihe prayer-books of the limrgical ehui-ehes we see an effort put 
 forth to supply the felt need. In the non-lituriiicd eliurehes, ilie ministi-y and laity, 
 whilst eschewing set forms of piayer, feel that they would l)e benefited bv such helps as 
 would enable them to pray more intelligently and earnestly with the spirit and with the 
 nnderslanding. It seems strange that the means of preparation for this part of divine 
 service, in non-liturgical churches, should be so meager, whilst the helps in the ])repa- 
 ration for the other parts are so ample; this too wlien it is recognized that such help is 
 not only approi)riatc, but hasthediiect sanction of the inspired word. In the stand- 
 ards of a large and iulluential branch of the non-liturgical cinu-ches we find this truth 
 fornuilated in the words: "Praver is an offerinu' up of our desii'es unto (iod, for things 
 agreeable to his will, in the name of Christ, with conf< ssion of oiu' sins, and thankful ac- 
 knowledgement of his mercies." Also: '" The whole word of God is of use to direct us 
 in prayer; but the .s[)ecial rule of direction is that form of prayer which Christ taught 
 liis disciples, commonlv called. The Lord's Pi-ayei-."' Foi- the truth thus formulated 
 there is ample warrant in the scriptures. 
 
 Peeling that both scripture and standards were on our side, we have made an at- 
 tempt to supply, if only to a limited degree and in an imperfect manner, an apparent 
 need in the non-littirgical churches, viz. : a (jliiide to Prayer. In doing this w^e have 
 kept close to standards. li is declared that the whole word of (iod is of use to direct us 
 in prayer. When w'e had wr(jught out our plan, we discovered that we had unconscious- 
 ly laid under tribute every book in the Bible except Ihe short prophecy of Nahum, 
 
 VV^e have warrant for a form (jf prayer, and also for varying characteristics of the 
 form. In our form or outline of prayer we have adiiered to tlie warrant. We have di- 
 vided the otitline into 1. Address to God; 2. Confession of sin; 3. Asking for blessings; 
 4. Thanking for mercies; o. Interceding for others, beyond the immediate assembly in 
 which the prayer is offered. This form is pi-eserved in each prayer, but the characteris- 
 tics of the prayers themselves vary continually. To the left of the page we have placed 
 the constant part of the outline, and to the right the varying part, and underneath both, 
 selected passages of scripture suggestive of a line of thought appropriate. Thus whilst 
 the form remains the same, in each successive prayer the subjects and passages of scrip- 
 ture change. Thus is furnished a new and independent line of thought for each service. 
 The design is to use these outlines only for what is known as the long, or compre- 
 
hensive, prayer of the service. Tlu' tk-rgviuan may t-itlicr prepare liis prayer Ironi tl»e 
 outline l.efore going into llie pulpil. or lake ilie outline wiili liini into ilie saeied d*>k 
 and tbllow it as he leads the congregation. In preparing for the service, iIm- (iesigii is in 
 take the outline designated for that particular day and service. Let the general division 
 found at the left of the page engage the ndnd; and then the particular phase of tin- di- 
 vision as indicated hy tiie suhject at the right of the page; tlien let the sjiirii and under- 
 standing express themselves in a line of thought suggested hy the scri|)ture jtassages u\- 
 serted under the particular head <l\velt upon. In using the outlines, they may he taken 
 as found arranged for the various services ot the year; )»ut if any circumstances should 
 exist which would make a change advantageous or desirable, the outline nee<i not be ad - 
 hered to. Nor is it essential that all that is suggested in each outline should be used. 
 So much onlv mav be taken as is appropriate to the time and circumstances, and agreea- 
 ble to the one otHciating. Thus the prayer may be made long or short at })lcasure. 
 
 If a particular jtassage of scripture is under consideration, by turning to the index 
 to scripture passages it very likely will be found amoyg the more than filteen hundred 
 citations made, or if not found, passages of similar imj ort, and so by tinning to the bcdy 
 of the work an outline will be foiuid containing the subject in hand. If a particular 
 subject is under consideration, it, or a kindred one, will doubtless be found in the copi- 
 ous index to subjects, and so one or more outlines will be found containing it. 
 
 In the plan adopted in this work, it is thought ])ractical advantages are gained. 
 Those who might object to anything like a liturgical form in the service, cannot consist- 
 ently take exception to the word of God as collated and made available in these outlines. 
 Also the danger of rendering a lip service, without the mind and heart, so common in 
 the use of liturgical forms, is here obviated; for no use can be made of the outlines 
 without the mind, at least, if not the heart, is engaged in the service. Thus the individ- 
 uality of the one offering the prayer is retained. Further, the people will be led in a 
 new line of thought at each .service, and by the use of the more than three hundred and 
 eighty subjects, with their subdivision.s, in the progress of the year, each one will be 
 more likely to rece ve his portion of spiritual meat in due season. Finally, the work 
 may be adapted, in an almost endless variety of ways, to existing circumstances. The 
 index to subjects will enable the one officiating to pick out and associate together sug- 
 gestive passages of scripture suited to any and all ordinary occasions. 
 
 It is thought that by the use of such outlines as these throughout the year, and 
 from year to year, with such modifications and variations as circumstances require and 
 the mind of tlie one officiating suggests, not only may the servie of prayer be made more 
 edifving, but the "vain repetitions" and meaningless platitudes, so often complained of, 
 may be avoided in the service of prayer.
