The Catholic Monitor John Craig

The selection contained in this small work is taken, with one exception, entirely, and without alteration, from the larger treatise for a year, by the Rev. J. Craig, Avon Bridge, a pious Christian. That compilation has been out of print nearly fifty years; and this portion of it now published, has been selected with much care, and desire to make it universally acceptable, and useful to all Christians.

The Meditations contained in this little book give concise and plain scriptural advice to all ranks and classes. They will be found to be an appropriate gift by parents, to their children; by guardians, to young persons; by masters and mistresses, to their domestics; and as to those of riper years, it is hoped they may also derive much comfort and edification: to clergymen it will afford sixty-two subjects under well-chosen texts, as outlines for their sermons; to all who desire to maintain a spiritual frame of mind, they will find this little work profitable reading for the Lord's day. At the end of each Meditation there is a short prayer (applicable to the subject), which, when used with a firm faith of God's mercy in Christ, will be an additional means to receive spiritual edification and strength.
