It demolishes the absurd notion that tliere is no precedent for revising the Book of Common Prayer. What our English forefathers did not hesi- tate repeatedly to do, we have a right to undertake. - But it also shows the reason why the Church of England was always " a house divided against itself." The ancient creeds and prayers, the Scrip- tural anthems and versicles, and indeed the whole framework of the liturgy, were teaching evangeli- cal truth and making low churchmen of multi- tudes who fa...ithfully used it in worship. On the other hand, the Church catechism, tbe baptismal, the communion and the ordination services were mixing subtle poison in the children's bread, and steadily creating a drift toward tiie Church of Rome. A century passed away, and the American colo- nies became a free nation.
