Book Description

Excerpt from Thoughts on Personal Religion: Being a Treatise on the Christian Life in Its Two Chief Elements, Devotion and Practice What is thus said, is said not without a thorough knowledge and trial of the book. Soon after its first publication In England in 1861, I procured it for my own private use, and its frequent perusal during the past two years, has not been, I trust, without advantage. I have read it in place of a weekly lecture, to a consider able number of my parishioners, and, I believe, to their lasting benefit. I have added it as an ap proved book to our Parish Library. I have placed several copies of it, and to their great satisfaction, in the hands of intelligent and ear nest-minded friends. In one case, during a length ened Sickness, it proved a source of much comfort and instruction - its chapter on the Magnificence of Prayer, solacing almost the dying hour.
