Excerpt from The Lord's Prayer: Seven Homilies

The provocation of these homilies was a series of short but incisive letters, written by Mr. John Ruskin to an English clergyman, but published by the writer's consent in the "Contemporary Review," and meant for all the English clergy. I quote some of his questions.

"Can this Gospel of Christ be put into such plain words and short terms that a plain man can understand it? and if so, would it not be, in a quite primal sense, desirable that it should be so?"

And again: -

"I want only to put this sterner question to your council, how this Gospel is to be preached 'everywhere' or 'to all nations,' if first its preachers have not determined quite clearly what it is.
