Excerpt from A Book of Old Testament Lessons for Public Reading in Churches, Vol. 2: A Lectionary; Introduction and Notes

The choice of these lessons has been spread over years. Some come from the old Church of England lessons, others from the new plan of the same church, to which allusion is made in the Introduction. Some come from John Wesley's selection, others from the lectionaries of the churches of Lutheranism both European and American; still others have been suggested by selections made for literary quality such as the beautiful one by Sir James George Frazer,1 and perhaps a very few are personal. The list has suffered many revisions, passages have gone in and been taken out, some have been shortened and others lengthened. The order has been bettered, and, alas! Perhaps worsened, while the list has lain for weeks or months before another revision; but enthusiasm and interest never died out.
