[EAN: 9781330219188], New book, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from A Book of Public Prayer: Compiled From the Authorized Formularies of Worship of the Presbyterian Church The chief purposes contemplated in the present publication, are briefly as follows: 1. To furnish Ministers of the Gospel, and those who, in Theological Seminaries, are preparing for the Ministry, with models of Public Devotion, approved and recommended by the Church, that may .facilitate that study of the best writers on the subject, which is enjoined by the Directory of Worship, upon all who lead in the public offices of religion. 2. To provide laymen, who, in remote and destitute settlements, may be called upon, in the absence of Ministers, to conduct religious exercises, with such aids as they naturally require. 3. To supply a deficiency long felt and frequently acknowledged, in the case of Chaplains in the Army and Navy, and persons officiating from time to time on board the vessels of our merchant service; many of whom, for want of such assistance as this volume is designed to afford, have been led to adopt forms of worship peculiar to other denominations.
