Excerpt from Service for the Three Hours of Good Friday: Being Psalms, Hymns, Meditations and Prayers Arranged Upon the Seven Last Words of Our Divine RedeemerTo stand face to face at Calvary with the Lord and Saviour of men, there to recall vividly, to the heart and mind, the fact of the propitiating and atoning sacrifice, and to realize one's own immediate interest in the same, cannot be otherwise than profitable. In an age when the truths which centre about the Cross are by many over looked and by others repudiated, it is encouraging to know that the observance of the Three Hours is growing. Every year more of our parishes keep this commemora tion. The welfare of the Church rests in the position she takes at Calvary. If there be no Atonement, no sacrifice for sin, then the purpose of the Incarnation and the prom ise of the Resurrection are of little avail.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
