Excerpt from The Relation of Confirmation to Baptism: As Taught in Holy Scripture and the Fathers
That Doctrine of the Laying on of Hands, which appeared to the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews so fundamental, has, in spite of the clear language of the Prayer-book, been less strongly taught in England by the general body of the clergy, and perhaps less often worked at by theologians, than was desirable in the interest of true religion. Although there have been innumerable little publications of a practical kind, to aid pastors in preparing their people for Confirmation, it is a considerable time since any important volume has been devoted to the subject. Without constant re-examination in the light of former days, current teaching is always liable to lose something of the primitive power and clearness.
