Présentation de l'éditeur

Reformed Church prepared and used written formularies of public worship (as, e. g., Calvin. Knox, the authors of the Dutch and the German Reformed Liturgies, and in tne next century Richard Baxter), the genius of Scottish and American Presbyterianism has discarded them as uncongenial, and the matured judgment of our Church has pronounced them to be inexpedient. The action of our recent Gen eral Assemblies from 1873 to 1875 proves that the mind of the Church is decidedly averse to the recommendation by authority of even the simplest forms for special services. With this jealous care for the freedom and spirituality of the Church the compiler of this little manual is in perfect sympathy. Nevertheless, accurate verbal preparation is felt by all to be necessary for the edifying performance of certain special services, as, for instance, the administration of Baptism and the Lords Supper, the admission of the baptized to full communion, and the celebr.a on of Marriage.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
