For Soldiers and Sailors: An Abridgment of the Book of Common Worship (1917)

For Soldiers and Sailors is an abridged version of the Book of Common Worship, originally published in 1917 by the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. This book was specifically designed for soldiers and sailors who were serving in World War I and provides a condensed version of the full Book of Common Worship, which contains prayers, hymns, and liturgical texts used in Presbyterian worship services. The abridged version includes prayers for various situations that soldiers and sailors might encounter in the course of their service, such as prayers for protection, guidance, and comfort. It also includes a section on the sacraments of baptism and communion, as well as a brief overview of Presbyterian beliefs and practices. This book was intended to provide spiritual support and guidance to those serving in the armed forces during a time of great upheaval and uncertainty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
