OVERVIEW
"All the service should be conducted with solemnity and awe, as if in the visible presence of the Master of Assemblies...Unless correct ideas of true worship and true reverence are impressed upon the people, there will be a growing tendency to place the sacred and eternal on a level with common things, and those professing the truth will be an offense to God and a disgrace to religion."
