About This Book

A parish clergyman addresses his congregations with exhortations for private and public devotion, urging morning and evening prayers, daily recitation of the Lord's Prayer and the Creed, and regular participation in baptism, confirmation, and Holy Communion. He counsels repentance, temperance, integrity, and chastity, offers gentle rebukes to erring members, and explains the spiritual significance of major church observances such as Christmas, Good Friday, Easter, Ascension, and Whitsunday. He also recommends keeping a Bible, the Book of Common Prayer, and devotional manuals in every household to encourage consistent Christian practice.
