Anglican Church Architecture With Remarks Upon Ecclesiastical Furniture

Excerpt from Anglican Church Architecture: With Some Remarks Upon Ecclesiastical Furniture "To say nothing of the plain duty of building new churches in our crowded districts: surely from a grateful spirit, to adorn God's house with every lawful ornament; to make it wide enough to admit with decency and ease an increasing population to kneel within its precincts; to provide for its being outwardly of a gracious aspect in the eyes of those who should come there to listen to God's Word, and to offer up their supplications to Him; to let the common home of the religious sympathies' of all around us be that which we most cheerfully adorn with the rich materials and the finished skill which wealth commands; surely thus to make the temple of the Lord beautiful, and the sanctuary of His poor commodious, is the acting of a fit and well-instructed piety."
