Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Sweet Poems and Loving Canticles, to the Praise and Glory of the King of Love, Even "Jesus," Our Redeemer, Saviour, and God
The Holy Face. A copy of this is to be seen in the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Montreal; and the original from which the copy here given is taken, is in the Cathedral of St. Peter's in Rome, where it has been kept with jealous care for many years; it is said to be over 1800 years old; many of my readers may be familiar with all Tradition respecting it; suffice it now to say that this self same Picture has the sanction and prayers of the highest ecclesiastical authorities amongst our brethren in the Roman Church; and we believe their prayers prevail, accompany, and follow it, because ifyou look long upon it, you will be moved to tears in godly sorrow for sin, and to loving repentance unto life! And herein we find another illustration of the fact, that we should not hesitate to pluck sweet and fragrant ?owers, from all ecclesiastical gardens, wherein it is our privilege to walk, and gather sweet savours of jesus, and which help us the better to travel our pil grimage journey Zionwards! And this too, is again another Plea in behalf of Christian Unity, and that we learn by heart, remember, and veritably practice also, the truth and Spirit, given us in God's own Words.
