<P>The habit of laying up a text of Scripture in the morning, to be meditated upon while engaged in the business of this world through the day—is both profitable and delightful. It is as a refreshing draught to a weary traveller!<br>
<br>James Smith's object in these pages, are . . . <br />

to caution them against sin,<br />
to guard them against Satan, and<br />
to stimulate them in the path of holy obedience. <br />
