Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Quadragesima or Thoughts for Each Day in Lent
These are, in the Church of England, and we may add in her sister church in America, left to free Spiritual obedience, without the fixed, elaborate rules of other communions; and the first two are obviously means to secure the third, which is the chief end.
It is, in general, along the line thus indicated, as the Forty Days move on, that the reader of these pages will find the progress of thought and feeling to run, each Sunday as it comes bringing its own special thought, and the one object of all to lead us to Him who is at once the Way and the Truth and the Life.
To all words that are not original, the name of the writer is added.
Lord! Who, throughout these forty days, For us didst fast and pray, Teach us with Thee to mourn our sins, And close by Thee to stay.
As Thou with Satan didst contend, And didst the victory win, Oh, give us strength in Thee to fight, In Thee to conquer sin.
