THE HOLY GOSPELS. 4s. 6d. Vol. II.-ACTS TO REVELATION. 6s. BY THE REV. H. P. LIDDON, D.D., D.C.L. LATE CHANCELLOR AND CANON OF ST. PAUL'S SECOND EDITION LONDON LONGMANS, GREEN, AND CO. AND NEW YORK: 15 EAST 16TH STREET 'In the saddest afflictions and blackest storms that can befall a man in this world, give me leave to make this thankful acknowledgment, that there is no companion or comforter like the Psalms of David.'-BRAMHALL'S Restoration Sermon. 'The ancient and sure way of religious exercises was, and still is by all sound and orthodox religious, in the devout use of the Psalms of David. It was thus that all the triumphing saints in heaven have prayed themselves thither, so far forth as their religious practices appear unto us on record in ecclesiastical story. And it is a safe way to follow their steps rather than the fanciful conceptions of our own heads. Especially, remembering that it is acknowledged by all Christians that the Psalms of David are the treasury of all devotion. It is known that they are, and ever were, the constant prayer of the Church and people of God, at all times and upon all occasions.'-SHERLOCK's Practical Christian. 'You cannot imagine the great benefit of learning Psalms by heart, for when you are under any temptation, or are in any affliction, or when you lie waking in the night, or when sick, these Psalms will come into your mind, and the devout repeating them will yield you most seasonable consolation. The very common people in the first and purest ages of the Church were so sensible of the spiritual advantages of learning Psalms, that they learned the whole Psalter by heart, and sung or said the Psalms in their shops or at the plough, insomuch that St. James makes it the proper expression of Christian mirth, “If any man be merry, let him sing Psalms."'—KEN's Directions for Prayer |
