Excerpt from Ministers' Hand-Book: For Christenings, Weddings, and Funerals I began the preparation of this manual simply as a Burial Service, and for my own convenience. I had found no one that just suited me. It was a trouble to select and arrange specially for each separate occasion. I wanted more variety. I did not like to carry two or three books with me, each of them being, perhaps, too large for the pocket. The habit of reading some appropriate verses, as a part of the service, increased this inconvenience. The desire to use the fitting thoughts of extra-Biblical writers increased it still more. Learning my plan, other ministers have expressed a desire for copies. This explains why it is published. When publication was determined on, it was thought best to include the services for Christening and Marriage. A service-book for the pocket will be found convenient where children are to be baptized or wedding ceremonies are to be performed at the house. By selection and combination, it is hoped that both variety and adaptation to all ordinary occasions will be easily attained.
