This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from Meditations on the Lord's Prayer With this view I had at first thought some what to change their form, but have not found the opportunity to do so, and the ad dresses are now written out, from notes made at the time, much as they were delivered, local and temporary references being omitted, and the hortatory form for the most part dropped. In their present form it is thought that they may perhaps be useful for reading in Church es where Lay Readers are employed, as well as for private meditation and study.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Arthur C. A. Hall was born on April 12, 1847, at Binfield, Berkshire, England, the son of Major William Thomas Hall, a retired officer of the British army, and Louisa Astley Alliston.
Hall was educated at Brighton College and Christ Church, Oxford, receiving the Bachelor's degree in 1869 and that of Master's degree in 1872.
Although trained in the evangelical school of the Church of England, he came at Oxford under the influence of the Tractarians, especially the Reverend Henry Parry Liddon and the Reverend Richard M. Benson. The latter had been instrumental in 1866 in founding the Society of Saint John the Evangelist, a revival of the monastic life. Its location at Cowley, near Oxford, led to its members being known as the Cowley Fathers.
Young Hall entered the Order as a lay brother after taking his degree. He was ordained deacon by the Bishop of Oxford, December 18, 1870, and advanced to the priesthood on Saint Thomas Day, 1871. For two years longer he remained in training at Cowley.
In 1874 Hall was sent to the American branch of the Society and became assistant priest at the Church of the Advent, Boston, Massachusetts, where he remained until 1882, when the Order transferred its headquarters to the Church of Saint John the Evangelist in Bowdoin Street. Father Hall was early recognized as a preacher of great power; he exercised a wide influence in the community, and was frequently called to conduct parochial missions and retreats and to give sermons and addresses, in other parts of the United States and Canada. His sermons were characterized by lucid thought and intensely practical counsel.
In 1889 Hall was elected by the Diocese of Massachusetts as a deputy to the General Convention of the Church and was also made a member of its standing committee. His action in 1891 in supporting the election of Phillips Brooks as bishop of Massachusetts was disapproved by the superior of his Order and he was recalled to England. His seventeen years in New England had won him many friends, who regretted keenly the fact that he had been withdrawn from the American Church.
When the death of Bishop W. H. Bissell left a vacancy in the episcopate in the Diocese of Vermont, Father Hall was put forward as a candidate and was elected bishop at a special convention in August 1893. He submitted to the Order of which he was a member the question as to whether he could be released from his vow of obedience to accept the election, and in a General Chapter it was voted that this be done. He, therefore, accepted the election, and was consecrated in Saint Paul's Church, Burlington, Vermont, February 2, 1894.
His episcopate was marked by energetic and faithful pastoral care and notable growth throughout the diocese. He early took a leading place in the House of Bishops and was a member of many important committees and commissions, including those for the revision of the lectionary and the prayer book, in the work of which he took a prominent part. He served for many years on the committee on constitution and canons of which he was at first secretary and later chairman. His reputation as a canonist was very high and his advice was sought by bishops from all parts of the country, while his intimate knowledge of the spiritual life led to his being sought as director and confessor by large numbers of people both within and without his diocese. He was active in the cause of Christian unity and served as a member of the Commission on the World Conference on Faith and Order by which the Lausanne meeting of 1927 was effected.
His literary and scholarly achievements were recognized by several universities. He was a voluminous writer, some of his books attaining a wide popularity. His principal works were: Meditations on the Creed (1881), which ran into many editions; Christ's Temptation and Ours (1896), the Baldwin Lectures, Ann Arbor, Mich. ; The Use of Holy Scripture in the Worship of the Church (1903), the Bishop Paddock Lectures, General Theological Seminary, New York; The Christian Doctrine of Prayer (1904), the Bohlen Lectures, Philadelphia; The Relations of Faith and Life (1905), the Bedell Lectures, Kenyon College, Ohio. His work on Confirmation (1900), in the Oxford Library of Practical Theology, is considered an authority on the subject. His volume of retreat addresses on The Virgin Mother (1894) is a deeply spiritual study of the character of Saint Mary. He also contributed a volume, The Doctrine of the Church (1909), to the Sewanee Theological Library. Arthur C. A. Hall died on February 26, 1930, in Burlington, Vermont, in the eighty-third year of his life and the fifty-third year of his religious profession.

Arthur Hall was ordained deacon on December 18, 1870, and priest on December 21, 1871. In 1874 he was sent to the American branch of the society and became associate priest at the Church of the Advent, Boston, where he remained until 1882.
From 1882 until 1891, when Hall was recalled to England, he served the Church of Saint John the Evangelist, Boston. He was consecrated the third Bishop of Vermont in The Episcopal Church on February 2, 1894, and served in that capacity until his death.
His tall and striking figure in its monk's habit, his deep and powerful voice, and his fiery earnestness in the pulpit made a profound impression on his hearers.
As a person, Arthur Hall combined "a thoroughly consecrated character, a commanding, winning personality, a very quick and clear and wise mind, a deeply spiritual purpose and outlook, a very thorough scholarship, a loving heart, alive with a sense of humor, which never suggested the slightest touch of irreverence. "
