''By Henry Law,''<br><br>
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 <em>fruitless formality</em> 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.<br><br>
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.<br>
