Excerpt from The Pastor in the Sickroom: A Handbook of Lessons and Prayers for the Visitation of the Sick The collection will not be considered too large when it is borne in mind that the aim of the book is not to be a merely mechanical aid but to present ample preparatory material for efficient ministration. The mind, imbued with the substance and form of these prayers, will experience little difficulty in producing from its store what each emergency demands. When the ability to do this has been acquired, the little book, having served its purpose and rendered itself superfluous, may be laid aside. - May the God of all consolations accompany its service with His blessing!
