Excerpt from The Family Prayer Book: Or Morning and Evening Prayers for Every Day in the Year, With Prayers and Thanksgivings for Special Occasions
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 indi vidual. It is the means of mutual intercession, and the channel through which larger supplies of the Holy Spirit may be sought, sealed 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.
