The Public Worship of God: Its Authority and Modes, Hymns and Hymn Books (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Public Worship of God: Its Authority and Modes, Hymns and Hymn Books

Our Lord Himself has given the answer, so far as the general principle is concerned, in that deeply interesting interview with the woman of Samaria, as picturesque and illustrative of eastern manners, as it is declarative of a grand and majestic principle regulating the way of man's approach to the one living and true God. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, wor ship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what. We know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
