MORNING AND EVENING EXERCISES.
q Harper 4 Brothers have Just published hand |
some large duodecimo volume Of 500 pages, with
the above title. 1t includes devotional lesson for
each morning and evening of the entire year,
appropriately dated, the whole being taken from
the works, published and unpublished, OF Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher. The work has been edited
by Mr., Lyman Abbott, author of "Jesus Of Naz-
areth," "Old Testament Shadows" &C., DC. In
his preface he says the selections have not been
made by Mr.. Beecher, but they have his appro-
val, the editors work having consisted almost
wholly in the selection Of appropriate passages,
and in the adaptation to them OF Scriptural quo
tations, and poetical extracts. Looking through
the book, we perceive some Of the finest and
most effective thoughts Of the great preacher
and writer, md We take, for instance, one set
down for the evening reading Of December 10Th;
