Substance of Lectures Delivered in the Churches; By Henry Drummond..
by Henry Drummond
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1847 edition. Excerpt: ... lecture V. on the perfect worship of the catholic church. Although our first parents offered sacrifice to God, and the faithful descendants of Seth continued to teach their children to do so likewise, there was no worship of God by any larger assembly of persons than a family, until the children of Abraham were brought out as one body from the midst of the bondage and cruelty of Egyptian slave-masters. Even then, the first acts they were required to perform were by each family apart: the Passover lamb was killed and eaten, and the blood sprinkled on the door-posts of each private dwelling, without any union with others. So soon, however, as God was about to bind together into one all the various families of which the descendants of Abraham were composed, in order to constitute them not only a family, but a nation and a church, He revealed to them the mode in which He was to be worshipped. The natural conscience of man might tell him that, since God was offended with him, he must do something by which to regain the lost favour of His Creator; but it could not tell what that something should be. God himself must have instructed Adam to slay and offer an innocent victim, as Abel and the rest of the faithful ever did, in anticipation of the slaying of that Spotless Offering which should appear as the Vicarious Sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. But the worship of God consisted in other things besides mere representation or mention of the death of the Son of God, although all parts of worship necessarily flow from, and have reference to that transcendant act; and it was as necessary for God to reveal these component parts of His worship, as it was for Him to teach men the other also.

Henry Drummond (1851 - 1897)
Was a Scottish evangelist, writer and lecturer. Drummond was born in Stirling. He was educated at Edinburgh University, where he displayed a strong inclination for physical and mathematical science. The religious element was an even more powerful factor in his nature, and disposed him to enter the Free Church of Scotland. While preparing for the ministry, he became for a time deeply interested in the evangelizing mission of Moody and Sankey, in which he actively co-operated for two years.In 1877 he became lecturer on natural science in the Free Church College, which enabled him to combine all the pursuits for which he felt a vocation. His studies resulted in his writing Natural Law in the Spiritual World, the argument of which is that the scientific principle of continuity extends from the physical world to the spiritual. Before the book was published in 1883, an invitation from the African Lakes Company drew Drummond away to Central Africa.
Henry Drummond, English banker, politician and writer, best known as one of the founders of the Catholic Apostolic or Irvingite Church, was born at the Grange, near Alresford, Hampshire.
He entered Parliament in 1810, and took an active interest from the first in nearly all departments of politics. Thoroughly independent and often eccentric in his views, he yet acted generally with the Conservative party. His speeches were often almost inaudible but were generally lucid and informing, and on occasion caustic and severe.
From 1847 until his death he represented West Surrey in parliament. Drummond took a deep interest in religious subjects, and published numerous books and pamphlets on such questions as the interpretation of prophecy, the circulation of the Apocrypha and the principles of Christianity. These attracted considerable attention.
Drummond was educated at Edinburgh University, where he displayed a strong inclination for physical and mathematical science. The religious element was an even more powerful factor in his nature, and disposed him to enter the Free Church of Scotland. While preparing for the ministry, he became for a time deeply interested in the evangelizing mission of Moody and Sankey, in which he actively cooperated for two years. In 1877 he became lecturer on natural science in the Free Church College, which enabled him to combine all the pursuits for which he felt a vocation. His studies resulted in his writing Natural Law in the Spiritual World, the argument of which was that the scientific principle of continuity extended from the physical world to the spiritual. Before the book issued from the press (1883), a sudden invitation from the African Lakes Company drew Drummond away to Central Africa.
Upon his return in the following year he found himself famous. Large bodies of serious readers, alike among the religious and the scientific classes, discovered in Natural Law the common standing-ground which they needed; and the universality of the demand proved, if nothing more, the seasonableness of its publication. Drummond continued to be actively interested in missionary and other movements among the Free Church students.
In 1888 he published Tropical Africa, a valuable digest of information. In 1890 he traveled in Australia, and in 1893 delivered the Lowell Lectures at Boston. Drummond's health failed shortly afterwards, and he died on the 11th of March 1897.
