Introduction

THESE responsive readings are an attempt to adapt for the public worship those noble passages of both Old and New Testaments which are suited to the purpose. In general all didactic scriptures have been avoided, and those chosen which, like the Psalms, present to God the united prayer and praise of the congregation, or, like the great chapters in Isaiah, represent the people as meditating upon and exalted by their common faith. The rendering is that of the American Standard Revised Version, with this exception; that wherever the name Jehovah appears, the general term Lord has been used. This is done in answer to a widespread and reasonable demand.
