Excerpt from Sermons on the Lord's Prayer: To Which Are Added, Three Sermons on Other Subjects
Several members of the New Church have often expressed a strong desire for more books of an introductory and popular charac ter, - books in which the doctrines of the Church should be presented in a plain and practical manner, but, as far as possible, divested of' the peculiarities of style and language in the original works of Swedenborg. Influenced by this desire, and by a wish to do some thing towards supplying this Obvious want in the Church, I now offer to them and to the public, this little volume of Ser'mons on the Lord's Prayer. They were originally written about threeyears since, for a mixed, miscellaneous audiencer And while it was hoped they would not be unacceptable to the members of the New Church, they were intended to be so plain as to be understood by those not ac quainted with the doctrines of that Church. This is mentioned not as an apology for their imperfections, but as the reason-why they appear in a style more loose and popular than wouldbe suited to an exclusively New Church congregation; though, perhaps, better adapted to the object for which they are now published.
