The Gospel Liturgy

The Universalist General Convention's official prayer book, compiled by Abel C. Thomas and adopted in 1857: orders of morning and evening service, responsive readings, chants, and offices for baptism, communion, marriage, and burial. It gave the liturgically minded minority of Universalist congregations a common use for half a century, and its successive printings (this collection holds six, from 1857 to 1887) trace the book's life across publishers from Philadelphia to the Universalist Publishing House.
