Excerpt from The Child's Matins and Vespers Tms little manual was written for my own dear children, and I hope it will be a valued friend to them, and other little ones. Every night and morning, before saying your prayers, open this little book, and read the thoughts set down for the time. It will help you to think seriously, and keep alive the feelings of love, and confidence, you ought to cherish towards your Father in heaven. May you be pure as the lilies, planted in the valley of humility, and sweetly watered by the inward sprinkling of the spirit of Jesus.
