With all the diversity of opinion, manifested within her pale — and it has not been small — as to doctrine, faith, order, discipline, and worship, in every trial she has been brought back to her standard, the Prayer Book, as the umpire of all religious questions. It is ad- mitted it might be improved, but the fit time seems not to have arrived. There is a scrupulous fear of impairing by touching it, and this conscientiousness, certainly, is worthy of great respect ; it may, finally, prove of th...e greatest consequence, in the shape of a salutary caution. • And where and what would the American Episco- pal Church have been, without her Book of Common Prayer ? " Thanks to that Church," the Christian world around and without her pale, are beginning to say, for holding us all fast in the faith by the preva- lent influence of her standard. The agitations and convulsions of the religious world, in the United States, have, within the period of half a century, shaken the firmest religious polities to their founda- tions, and threatened to overthrow the faith handed down, for the want of adequate standards ; and above all, apparently, for the want of a common liturgy, which, in every assembling of the people for public worship, would bring them to the use of the same words and forms, and consequently to the keeping of the same faith.
