DAILY FAMILY DEVOTION; OR, GUIDE TO FAMILY WORSHIP.
With Twenty-four Engravings.
PREFACE.
The Services are meant to embody the wants, and praises, and intercessions of Christians of every section of the Church of Christ.
Any family of any branch of the Protestant Church may use them. They are meant for man in the world, and designed to render family worship full, without tediousness. They are suited, the writer trusts, by the generality and commonness of the prayers, for every cla.s.s and type in this busy world. With earnest hearts to feel and use them, and the teaching of G.o.d"s Holy Spirit, these forms may become instinct with life, and unload many a full soul that cannot strike out words for itself. The Annotations are necessarily few.
This work is designed to introduce or facilitate the practice of Family Worship. By constructing the daily prayer on the pa.s.sage of Scripture selected for reading, greater variety, interest, and practical use are a.s.sociated with the exercise. What G.o.d declares is thus solemnly accepted in prayer; what He promises is embraced by adoring hope; and for special blessings disclosed or promised in his holy word, thanksgiving and praise are ascribed to Him from whom cometh down every good and perfect gift, to whom belong the glory and the honour.

"One of the most valuable of Dr. c.u.mming"s numerous publications, and likely to become the most popular, and the most lasting in its popularity, for it has enduring qualities which belong to all ages and generations. The text is simply and clearly opened--critical explanations are given only when they are required--so as not to enc.u.mber, but to elucidate; and the practical applications are such as to suit all cla.s.ses of persons."--_Church of England Quarterly Review._
"The comments are made with great lucidity. The result is the throwing of an additional flood of light on the already dazzling truths of Holy Writ. The uses of such a work are self-obvious; and when we add that the plan is carried out with all the lucidity, faithfulness, piety, honest reasoning, and felicity of thought and expression which mark its predecessors, we have only said enough to mark our sense of its value."--_Church and State Gazette._
"For the purpose for which "the Readings" are intended, they are in every sense admirably adapted. They combine simplicity with faithfulness, and critical interpretation with most attractive explanation; so that a child may understand them."--_Bell"s Messenger._
