PREFACE. I VENTURE to commend this little work as a help to those who, without being able to practise meditation in a regular form and for a lengthened time, yet desire a few suggestive thoughts on which they may ponder, thus keeping their hearts in daily communion with God. The same plan has been preserved throughout; a text and a few verses, harmonizing with each other, being selected for the evening of each day, to be thus hallowed after the example of the Patriarch, who went out to meditate in the field at eventide.' |
