MEDITATIONS FOR EVERY DAY IN THE YEAR. EDITED BY WALTER FARQUHAR HOOK, D.D., VICAR OF LEEDS. New Edition. Vol. H.-Lent to the Fourth Sunday LEEDS: RICHARD SLOCOMBE. LONDON: GEORGE BELL. 1851. PREFACE. TH HE following Meditations for Lent have been written on a different plan from those for other portions of the ecclesiastical year, because it is thought that more time may be bestowed by most persons on their devotions at this season. Let it be the aim, then, of all persons who use this little volume, to study with prayerful industry the sacred narrative of our Blessed LORD's Life, as shewn forth by the four Evangelists; and let all have the distinct object of this exercise in view, viz: that of living closer to our LORD, and by becoming more intimately acquainted with His most holy Life, to be better enabled to set up His pattern as our example for future guidance. |
