"Although these chapters, in their original lecture form, were intended for the ministers in attendance at the H. M. S. Richards lectureship held at Washington, D.C., in 1964, it is my hope that the ideals of worship presented in this book will be of interest to other ministers and to thoughtful laymen. Hundreds of church elders and other church officers are concerned regarding their services of worship. Thousands of worshipers are seeking a more satisfying worship experience. If many of the readers of this book can be stimulated to seek a greater insight into the meaning of worship, the entire church will be strengthened and the kingdom of God will be hastened. NORVAL F.
