rit of
worship. For the spirit of worship is moved by Faith--Faith supremely
in God, but also faith in the words which we use, and in the people
with whom we use them.

Thus the truest cure for Doubt is Worship. If my faith in a friend
weakens I must go to see him, to speak with him, to restore our mutual
{vii} confidence and love. In like manner, if my faith in God through
Christ weakens, I must go to Him, speak with Him, seek a return of the
old confidence and love.

In the belief that God is calling us to know Him more perfectly by the
Worship which we offer in heart and life, and in the confidence that
our Branch of the Church has the guidance of the Indwelling Spirit,
this book is dedicated to His glory.
