Preface

'HIS work was published anonymously above twenty years ago, without the prayers. It was prepared with a view to assist in that private meditation on the Scriptures which will make them to the heart of each individual profitable for edification, strength and comfort, and which is the best preparation for private prayer. A cheaper edition, for popular use, was prepared by the author's brother, the Eev. P. P. Carpenter, with the addition of prayers, chiefly his own. These have been introduced into the present and previous edition, with some selected and written by the author.

The hopes entertained in the original preparation of this little volume have been fully realized ; — it has met the religious wants of persons of all denominations ; —

X. PREFACE.

it lias comforted the mourning hours and solaced the dying bed of many ; while it has been the closet companion of numbers, without respect of creed ; — the spirit knows no such distinction, when in felt communion with its Maker.

May such be still its blessed mission !

Bed Lodge House,

Bristol, June 18, 1868.
