Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Family Prayer Book: Or Morning and Evening Prayers for Every Day in the Year, With Prayers and Thanksgivings for Special Occasions It would be superfluous to expatiate to those, into whose hands this publication is likely to fall, on the obligations of Prayer, since a personal experience can alone suggest the want which this Volume is intended to supply. Like all other things of Divine institution, prayer is commended by benefits as varied as the aspects in which it can be regarded. It is a duty, for Christ has commanded it; a privilege, for we speak to God himself; an instinct of self-interest, for how else shall our wants be supplied? a necessity, for the full heart must find some mode of utterance ; a happiness, for in prayer the Christian enjoys that immediate intercourse with his Heavenly Father, through Christ Jesus, which will constitute hereafter the very bliss and glory of heaven. Nor is Family Prayer commended by reasons less cogent or varied than private supplication. It is a formal witness to the Unseen, an act of solemn allegiance to Him in whom we live, and move, and have our being. It is the expression of those religious interests and sympathies which the members of a family have in common, neither so general as those of the congregation, nor so closely personal as those of the individual. It is the means of mutual intercession, and the channel through which larger supplies of the Holy Spirit may be sought, scaled as it is with Christ's especial promise to united prayer. It is the truest bond of family affection, the spring of mutual sympathy, an instrument in the education of character, and the foretaste of a heavenly and an enduring relationship. But the recognition of the duty is more easy than its satisfactory performance. There are some persons so richly endowed with fervency of spirit, tenderness of feeling, and freedom of utterance, that their extemporaneous outpourings of devotion constitute the best mode of family worship which can be suggested. But such gifts are riot common, and it cannot be expected that all fathers of families should feel themselves competent to discharge such an office, either with comfort to themselves or with edification to others. To maintain its continuous performance without running either into eccentricity on the one side, or into monotony on the other, requires greater endowments than men can ordinarily be supposed to possess; and no warmth of feeling or fluency of language are in themselves sufficient. An exact doctrinal knowledge must underlie all enlightened devotion. The free language of the heart is, we admit, very different from the definitions of theology, and must be measured by a widely different standard. Nevertheless, they are intimately related, and mutually react upon each other. The creed of the intellect necessarily guides the affections of the heart. Yet the process is often reversed, and an unscriptural mode of feeling leads little by little into an unscriptural mode of thinking. The relation between the head and the heart is so close, that no permanent discrepancy can exist between them. Not only the subjects of prayer, but its whole tone and character, are affected by tho doctrinal creed. How differently, for instance, must the man feel and express himself before God, who believes in the total depravity of human nature and the sovereignty of Divine grace, from the man who believes with the Rationalist in human perfectibility, or with the Romanist in the opus operatum of the sacraments. Hence, a solid knowledge of Divine truth, and that devout familiarity with Scripture which saturates, as it were, the very heart with its tone and spirit, are tho first requisites for the conduct of family devotion. But when the substance of prayer has thus been secured, it still remains to regulate its expression.
