are certain signs in the originals which indicate 

 to scholars that the slightly-differing forms were 

 derived from one manuscript, and are not, as 

 earlier critics held, reports of two distinct utter- 

 ances of Jesus. The following is Matthew's 

 form of the prayer, as it appears in the author- 

 ized and the American revised versions: 



AUTHORIZED 

 Our Father which art in heaven, 



Hallowed be thy name. 



Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth 

 as it is in Heaven. 



Give us this day our daily bread. 



And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our 



debtors. 

 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us 



from evil. 

 For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the 



glory, for ever, 

 Amen. 



REVISED 

 Our Father who art in Heaven, 



Hallowed be thy name. 



Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in 

 heaven, so on earth. 



Give us this day our daily bread. 



And forgive us our debts, as we also have for- 

 given our debtors. 



And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us 

 from the evil one. 



LORELEI, lo'relie, a rock about 430 feet 

 high, on the right bank of the Rhine River 

 near Saint Groar. It is famous in song and 

 story for its remarkable echo, which gave rise 

 to the legend that the rock was the home of a 

 siren who lured mariners to destruction by her

 The fading light grows dimmer, 

 The Rhine doth calmly flow ; 

 The lofty hilltops glimmer 

 Red with the sunset's glow.

 was a dangerous spot for navigation, the legend 

 was easily believed by early peoples. The 

 myth is the subject of a poem by Heine and of 

 an incomplete opera by Mendelssohn. 



LORIMER, law' rimer, GEORGE HORACE (1868- 

 ), an American editor, journalist and story 

 writer. His Letters of a Self-Made Merchant 

 to His Son have been called a "modern Poor 

 Richard's Almanac," and it was fitting that he 

 should be called to the editorship of the paper 

 founded and edited by Benjamin Franklin, the 

 present Saturday Evening Post. Lorimer \va> 

 born in Louisville, Ky. After graduating from 

 Yale he accepted a position with Armour & 

 Co. in their packing house at Chicago. Pork 

 packing not appealing to his literary tastes, he 

 resigned to engage in newspaper work. After 

 several years' work in the journalistic field, 

 Mr. Curtis, of The Saturday Evening Post, 

 made him editor of that weekly magazine 

 (1899), and it was for that periodical that Lori- 

 mer wrote the Letters of a Self-Made Merchant 

 to His Son, which were afterwards published in 

 book form. The Letters were very popular, as 

 was also his Old Gorgon Graham, a second 

 series of the Merchant letters. Both of these 

 volumes are full of forceful maxims of the busi- 

 ness world. Lorimer's admirable discrimination 

 in selecting writers of fiction has helped to 

 give the Post a foremost rank.

 native to Southern Asia, sometimes called the

 and a broad, flat 

 head with a white

 time, rolled up in

 around the limb of a tree. It prowls around at 

 night in search of food, which consists of youi 

 leaves and tender shoots, fruits, insects, birds 

 and their eggs. See LEMUR.

LORY, lo'ri, a group of Australian parrots,
