Excerpt from Alone With God: A Manual of DevotionsThe author confesses to a feeling he has had for several years, that there is a great lack, among the rank and file Of our membership, and not unire quently manifesting itself, also, in the ministry, of a devotional Spirit. If it were germane to my present purpose, it would not be difficult to assign some reasons why this Is so, but at present, I am concerned only with the fact itself. This lack is seen in the small number who attend our prayer meetings, the still smaller number who can be relied on to lead in prayer, the large number of homes in which there is no regular family wor ship, and in the unspiritual character Of many Of our church members. I institute no comparison between ourselves and others. There is reason to fear that the lack of which I am speaking, is far too general. This restless, rushing age, with its eager pursuit of wealth, honor and worldly pleas ure, cannot fail to make its baneful in¿uence felt on the Spiritual life of the church. To contribute, in a very humble way, towards the neutralization Of these adverse in¿uences, and to point out, and stimulate my readers to attain, a higher standard of personal piety, has been my chief aim in the preparation of this work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
