Excerpt from Service Manual The fixed Order of Worship has been departed from in this manual, but merely in form. The spirit of the traditional service has been sacredly preserved. Its devotional sentiment has been brought nearer to the modern mind by the use of a number of the most approved liturgical aids. The gems of Biblical, Apocryphal, and Rabbinical literature have been freely introduced in the form of Responsive Readings and Choral Chants, and have been incorporated in the Medita tions and Exhortations. To each Sabbath a distinctive purpose has been given by assigning to it a special significance, which is made the theme of' that day's service. The purport of each Festival is likewise made the central thought, which is elaborated in all the parts of the Festival service. To quicken the fervor of the worship per, to ensure his participation in the service, and especially to awaken the interest of each individual, the Responsive Read ings, Congregational Singing, and the various themes of each separate week have been provided.
