PREFACE.

THIS Book of Family Prayer is offered to the Christian public, in the hope that union in prayer may be thereby promoted. It is indispensable to the receiving the benefits of prayer, that it be united. To accomplish this union, each member of the family should raise his voice: devotion is thus quickened; the family bond strengthened; unity of spirit is increased; and the blessing, promised to two or three lifting up the voice of united prayer, is sure to descend.

To promote the attainment of these blessings is the aim of the author: and he earnestly prays, that, through the mercy of God, and the teaching of his Holy Spirit, they may be abundantly realized by all who worship the God of families.
