The Amen

Archbishop Tillotson long ago sugges-
ted that in process Of time the best In-
sti.utiops are ap! to decline, and that it is
therefore importan! TO sometimes 60 back
to their original institution, and get that
right which time and other things, have
made wrong. We will not apply this
rule in the, present paper, to singing, but
would make a few suggestions on another
unqlestionably custom of the primitive
Christians. and their successors for sew
eral centuries, but which, even among
those who profess to be pre;eminently
scriptural in their worship, is now scarcely
ever regarded--we mean the amen, for
merly solemnly pronounced at the close
of prayers offered to God, and not unfre-
quen,ly at the end Of sermons, also, As
no reader Of the inspired epislles ,of, Paul
or of early Church history can doubt this
fact we only consider il necessary 10 refer
to it rather than 70 spend our time in
proving it.w 4. .m,,t ,9e y,. x rs
Every one knoYsthat this word, Amen,
| is one Of strong and solemn import AS
the venerable Abraham Booth well showed
more than half century ago, when it is
pre6xed, TO an. assertion it signifies assu-
redly,ior certainly, but that when il con-
cludes prayer, it is petitionary, and ep.
itomizes all the requests with which il
stands connected. Thus viewed it, ,sug.
gested that we should pray with the un.
derstanding, with fervor, and with ex'
pectation. To this may be added that
the, word was constantly used by oul
Lord, and that the use Of it tends TO fis
the attention on the prayer to which we
have to add our Amen. Moreover; i
tends greatly to solemize the mind, and te
encourage, the minister in presenting tht
petitions. Well does the writer Of these
lines remember. the delightful impression
made on his heart forty years ago, by the
solemn and earnest manner in Which ar
aged christian Of more than four score
added his Amen to every public prayer.
Let us conclude by saying It is the duty
when appropriate scriptural prayer il
presented, that call the people should sa.
Amen. Assuredly the writer can So,
