Not illustrated. 1856 Excerpt: … CHAPTER IV. ZION''S SACRIFICE OF PRAISE SHOULD BE PRESENTED TO GOD IN THE POSTURE OF REVERENCE AND OF MUSICAL POWER. I beseech you by the mercies of God that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, which is your reasonable service.–Paul. Mere bodily rest is wo Part of God''s worship.–Owens. Let it be borne in mind that psalmody is a devotional as well as a musical exercise, and that the grand object of the service is to glorify God and to edify the Church. It has already been maintained that the music best adapted to attain this end should be employed. I now proceed to inquire in what bodily posture this appropriate music may be most efficiently rendered. Even in this age of postures and impostures, I think this inquiry not unimportant; for it is notorious that the best weapons, imperfectly wielded, can do very little execution–that the best sermons, unnaturally delivered, are almost lost–and that to listen to some airs, perpetrated in the Divine service, though in themselves among the noblest and the best, it is a ienance. If there is an attitude, therefore, to which the musical service of the sanctuary can be better performed than in any other, it is important to know it, and a duty to assume it.
