Excerpt from Come Unto Me: A Manual of Instructions and Devotions for Confirmation, Holy Communion and Other Occasions

From his own experience and from the com ments of others of the Clergy and Laity, the Author believes that there is large room for a work that will help in this respect. There are of course others now in use, but many people find them above their understanding or incapa ble of satisfying their spiritual needs or alien to the Anglican mind. In the preparation of this present book, the Author, while trying to avoid any narrow conception of the Church, has aimed to have both the Instructions and the Devotions in thorough accord with the spirit of the Book of Common Prayer and the teaching of Holy Scripture. In drawing from outside sources, the Ancient Liturgies have been mainly consulted, as they are perfect treasure-houses of devotion, and represent the spiritual character of the Church most near its Source. These prayers, however, have been very freely adapted, partly because of their rather florid expressions, hardly suitable to the Western mind, partly in order to ensure a more rhythmical measure, which the original Greek or Latin loses in a literal trans lation into English, The thought, however, has been preserved throughout.
