Excerpt from Common Prayer for Christian Worship: In Ten Services for Morning and Evening, With Special Collects, Prayers, and Occasional Services

To any one who watches the signs of the times, it must be obvious that an increasing number of per sons, even in Churches of the freest ritual, are coming to the conclusion that it is an advantage in public worship to have a Book of Common Prayer. Doubtless the extempore outpouring of the minis ter will still be preferred by many, partly from the force of long custom, and partly from a convio tion that words fresh, from the heart are better adapted, both to call forth and to express genuine fervour, than prayers read from a book: but others will care more for the fitness than the newness of the language; and, instead of becoming weary of the familiar phrase, will find endearing associations cluster round it, and will feel a warmer glow of devotion from the thought, that they are uniting.
