Excerpt from Prayers for Sailors and Fisher-Folk

This Book of Prayers is a token of the interest which the Church of Scotland takes in the sea faring community.

Remembering that some of the dearest friends of our Lord Jesus Christ when He was upon the earth were fishermen, and knowing the Christian worth of many of our toilers on the sea, and the hardships and perils of their lot in life; and believing that the spirit of devotion to God which is manifested in worship and in prayer is of great importance to all men, and specially to those whose calling is arduous, perilous, and full of temptation, the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland has directed its Committee on Aids to Devotion to issue this Prayer-book for Sailors and Fisher-folk.
