Book Description

Excerpt from Family Prayers It would be vain to ignore the warning voices which tell us ... of a certain decadence in the definitely religious life of the ordinary home - a falling off, that is, in the very force which gave its distinctive inspiration and its distinctive power to so much of our grandsires' life. - The Archbishop of Canterbury at the General Convention, Oct. 6, 1904. "Our duty it is, who are your Fathers in Christ, to entreat you, brethren, that you rebuild the family altar, and begin the nurture of your children with that teaching in which your mother, the Church, bids you to train them." - The Pastoral Letter of the House of Bishops, 1904.
