THE SONG OF SOLOMON

By Henry Law,

The aim of this volume is simple, yet sublime--lowly, yet rising above earth. Its desire is to promote and elevate and sanctify the communion of families with heaven; to give wings to piety, and warm utterance to prayer. This exercise requires watchful care--the often recurrence militates against impression. An object always present to the eyes scarcely arrests notice. The lull of one repeated note will wrap the senses in forgetfulness. Hence fruitless formality may creep in, and dull routine may slowly move where liveliness should burn. True worship is the heavenward elevation of the soul. To obtain this benefit is worth all efforts.

A family thus spiritually engaged is a blessed company. It basks in heaven's sunshine. It breathes celestial atmosphere. Its influence extends far beyond a narrow circle. It shines as a beacon on some eminence. Before the daily work begins, it seeks God's arm to protect, and His eye to guide; it puts on the armor of faith, it girds up the loins to climb the upward path, and when evening brings employments to a close, it gives floods of praises for overflowing mercies, and washes in the blood which cannot fail to cleanse.
