Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Directory for Public Worship and the Book of Common Prayer: Considered With Reference to the Question of a Presbyterian Liturgy Messrs. Editors: As attention has lately been drawn, through your columns, and in several ecclesiastical bodies, to our "Directory for Public Worship," I have thought it might interest your readers briefly to review the history and uses, as well as abuses, of that formulary. But few Presbyterians in this country would seem to be aware of its origin, or rightly to appreciate its advantages as a mean between the extremes of imposed liturgies and "irregular, or extravagant effusions" in the service of God, as is abundantly shown by the general neglect into which it has fallen. It may sometimes happen that Churches will have so far departed, in the progress of events, from their own early standards and usages, that the work of restoration must incur somewhat of the suspicion belonging to that of innovation; and if any of the suggestions which are to follow, should, on first thought, seem so strange as to be questionable, I trust it will be found that at least they are not mere individual conceits, or new-fangled devices. There is also the risk of a certain odium and cheap ridicule, attending any attempts at more systematic and edifying worship, to meet which, all calm, rational argument is powerless.
