Excerpt from The Book of Prayer for the House of Prayer: A Sermon Delivered Before the Ladies' Prayer Book Society of Pittsburgh and Allegheny, in Trinity Church, Pittsburgh, on Sunday Evening, May 8, 1859
The incense, and the pure offering, here spoken of, do not mean material incense and animal sacrifices, such as were presented under the Mosaic economy, but the incense of praise and the offering of prayer, the two elements of devotion, which combined, make true and spiritual worship for Him who is a Spirit, and who must be worshipped in spirit and in truth.
