Excerpt from A Selection of Prayers and Hymns Chiefly From the Book of Common Prayer of the Protestant Episcopal Church: Arranged as an Order of Service for Prayer Meetings, Cottage Lectures, Bible Classes, Etc When this work was first undertaken, the design was simply to provide a short and convenient col lection of Prayers for use at Prayer Meetings and Cottage Lectures. The kind and valuable sug gestions of a few friends, however, led the Compiler to believe that a more enlarged and comprehensive work would meet with acceptance and prove more useful. He has therefore attempted to make it a manual of prayer and praise suitable for every occa sion of religious worship, where from any cause the regular services of the Book of Common Prayer cannot be used with advantage.
