The Star Book for Ministers
By Edward T. Hiscox
There are various works now in use, intended especially to aid
pastors in the incidental duties of their profession. These
hand-books are convenient, and some of them valuable, as being well
adapted to the purpose for which they were designed. But the
conviction that one could be prepared which should be more largely
serviceable for such purposes, than anything now accessible, has
led to the preparation of the following pages. Whether this purpose
has been realized, those who use it must decide for themselves.
The Scripture Selections for funeral and other occasions,
constitute a leading feature in all such compilations. Clergymen
who use an authorized liturgy will not need these; but for all
others they will be found entirely sufficient, and it is hoped
entirely satisfactory. The compendium of Parliamentary Rules will
be sufficiently full for all occasions in which clergymen are
likely to take part. The rules given and statements of principles
involved in the proceedings of deliberative bodies, are believed to
be accurate and reliable, and in harmony with the best standards.
The forms of Marriage Service, including some long used by
distinguished clergymen, have been given as at least suggestive to
those who may still prefer to use their own - as very many
ministers do. The forms of both marriage and burial Service, of the
Episcopal Church, have been introduced for the benefit of those
who, from personal preference or by special request, may have
occasion to use, in whole or in part, these admirable forms.
The Scripture Proper Names, with their pronunciation and
magnification, will be a special help to clergymen who may at times
have been subjected to peculiar perplexity foi want of the
information conveniently at hand, which this table furnishes.
The Forms and Blanks will be helpful to young ministers
particularly, in the correct arrangement of ecclesiastical matters,
which they have frequent occasion to direct.
The tables of Facts and Figures constitute a new feature in works
of this kind. They have been compiled with considerable difficulty
and with much care, and will be found as near to positive accuracy
as the subjects admit of attaining. Such facts and figures,
conveniently accessible, will be suggestive of thought and remark,
and furnish both argument and illustration, especially welcome to
clergymen on many occasions besides those of their regular
ministrations. The work is commended to those for whom it has been
prepared, in the hope that it may be a help to them, in the many
and varied, and often laborious duties of their sacred calling...

Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage
of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality
reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable
prices.
This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images
of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also
preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics,
unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and
every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and
interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human
than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a
unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader
organically to the art of bindery and book-making.
We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection
resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and
their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes
beyond the mere words of the text.
