Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Helps to Meditation, Vol. 1: Sketches for Every Day in the Year These Sketches are put forth in the earnest desire of helping some faithful souls, in however small a degree, to a loving grasp of some few thoughts from that great treasure-house of truth, the Bible. Their chief object is to assist in overcoming one difficulty in Meditation, the arrangement of the materials, by supplying points for consideration, without developing them so as to encroach on the province of Meditation. Their aim is to be suggestive rather than exhaustive. Beside this, I have hoped to promote the Study of the Bible, by giving a devotional exposition of the parts treated applying directly to the practical needs of the souls daily life, thus making the duty of reading the Bible more interesting, and profitable. And, it the request of many of my brother Clergy, I have had particular regard to the need, which seems to exist in these busy days, of Outlines of Sermons for the use of those Clergy who, from press of work, may have little leisure for study, and which, while supplying the matter and line of thought, will leave room for individual development. The Second Volume will contain Meditations for the latter half of the Christian year, and will, I hope, be issued next Spring. This work has been written in no controversial spirit, and I desire, as a loyal, son of the Church of England, that every expression be interpreted by the Hook of Common Prayer, and such great Divines of the Anglican Communion as Jeremy Taylor. The Book has been examined by several theologians, but if through inadvertence anything in it be found to conflict with the expressed teaching of the Church, of which Tam an unworthy Priest, I hereby declare that I unreservedly withdraw it. There remains but the pleasing task of acknowledging my obligations to those who have aided me. To my Bishop first, for allowing me to dedicate my work to him, I tender my hearty thanks. I feel it no small honour and encouragement to be permitted to place upon the first page the name of a Prelate who for more than a quarter of a century; through dark and perilous times, has safely and prosperously inside the Church in the largest Diocese in this country: and this is only one more added to previous acts of kindness, which have won my love, as well as my admiration, and respect. My thanks are next due to the Bishop of Springfield, for writing, amid the pressure of other work, the Introduction to this Book.
