# J.W. Alexander on the Presbyterian Liturgy

“If the Eutaxian Liturgy come into actuality, the only result will be to train people for the ‘Common Prayer.’” — [**James W. Alexander**](/authors/james-waddel-alexander), letter dated June 13, 1855, John Hall, ed., *Forty Years’ Familiar Letters of James W. Alexander, D. D., Constituting, with the Notes, a Memoir of His Life* (1860), Vol. 2, p. 209
