Excerpt from The Temple of His Body: Being Good Friday Addresses on the Seven Words From the Cross

These Addresses embody the substance of the Good Friday Meditations given in the Church of the Ascension, Chicago, in 1904. They represent an attempt to draw somewhat away from the more subjective line of thought usual in Good Friday Addresses.

There is perhaps some ground for the question that is beginning to be asked, whether the growing popularity of the Three Hours' Service may not contain in itself the danger of substituting devotions mainly subjective in their character for the Liturgical Offices of the day? One may recognize this danger, and yet feel reluctant to discourage the use of a service which has done so much to impress the lessons of the Passion upon our people.
