About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text, images, or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1843. Not illustrated.

Our Saviour halh enjoined it on all his followers, by precept, by promise, and by his own blessed example; "When thou prayest, enier into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret, and thy Father which seelh in secret, shall reward thee openly."

And St. Luke records one instance (doubtless it was not the only one) of his going "out into a mountain to pray, and continuing all night in prayer to God." (Luke vi. 12.) For the sake of pri...
