About this book
Short daily meditations for Advent and Christmas
Author: Bennett, Henry Morden
Year: 1881
PREFACE. This little book is intended to be a help to those who wish to make a profitable use of the Seasons of Advent and Christmas, and who prefer to have thoughts suggested to them for meditation rather than formal meditations worked out for them in full. The Advent Season is one that has a double line of teaching, as it were, prospective and retrospective. The Church, in her Collects, Epistles, and Gospels, seems to keep both in view. In the following helps to meditation I have endeavoured to bring both of them under consideration by making the first twenty-two meditations to have special allusion to the Second Coming of our Lord, while the remainder, including those for Christmas, bear reference to His First Coming. The first twenty-two meditations are founded on verses in each of the twenty-two Chapters of the Revelation of S. John; those immediately preceding Christmas on the Beatitudes ; while the rest have reference to persons, places, and facts connected with the Divine Infancy. Digitized by Google.
