EDITOR'S PREFACE   Why read ancient prayers?  Well, beyond the comfort of making the acquaintance of God's faithful whom we will someday meet in our glory everlasting, beyond the widening up of our own vocabulary so that phrases like "someday meet in our glory everlasting" go tripping off our tongue, it is a way to confound the devil.
