TWENTY-EIGHT LECTURES ON THE MORNING PRAYER: by Rev. Robert A. Hallam,
D. D., Rector of St. James' Church, New London, Conn.
"The Rev. Dr. Hallam's Lectures on the Morning Prayer are a valuable
addition to the working material for ordinary parish instruction. He
goes carefully, judiciously, moderately, through all the parts of the
Morning Prayer, including the Litany, and draws out with great
richness and fulness the admirable order, the wonderful connection of
spirit and beauty, the deep inner life, of that inestimable Office.
There is also a sufficient infusion of liturgical learning to make the
volume very instructive to the great bulk of all our congregations.
With all its wise moderation of statement, there is a warm glow in the
language of Dr. Hallam's book, a fervor in the feeling, and even an
eloquence of expression in many places, which cannot but produce in
all its readers a more full and harmonious appreciation of our
incomparable Liturgy. It will make the worship of our congregations a
wonderfully more _reasonable, holy and living_ sacrifice unto God,
inspiring it with a deeper and truer life wherever its healthful
influence extends."--_Church Journal._
"A work of great merit, remarkable in its adaptations to defend and
commend the Church. Let it be read for information about the Church
and the improvement of devotional spirit in her members."--_Banner of
the Cross._
"The book of Dr. Hallam is the best book we have seen to put into the
hands of persons desiring to understand the Church."
"The mode of treating the subject gives it full right to a place among
works on _practical religion_. The leading object of the Lectures is
to show that this was the design and intent of the Service, and that
none who enter into its spirit can fail of being improved by its use.
There is also something in the manner in which our author treats his
subject--so much of his own agreeable peculiarities of thought and
style characterizing it, as to throw an air of freshness over the
subject itself, rendering the perusal as pleasant as it is profitable.
In doctrine and usage, Dr. H. follows the golden mean, the _via media_
which has ever marked the course of the Church."--_The Calendar._
