Excerpt from School and Parish Service Book: Being the Order of Matins and Vespers of the Evangelical Lutheran Church; With Music
What lends a special charm to these Orders, and makes them so rich in devotion, is the fact that they contain, almost word for word, only the ih spired language, of Sacred Scripture. At the same time, by reason of the ease with which they may be adapted to circumstances, they answer all the demands of every ordinary and extraordinary occasion and it is to be hoped that their use will again be revived in Colleges, Seminaries, and Schools, at the week-day services, and on all occasions when another Order than that of the Chief Service is needed.
