"Our former volume, Morning Readings, having had the blessing of our Master," says C.H. Spurgeon, "we feel encouraged to give our best attention to the present series of brief meditations, and we publish it with the insistent prayer that its reading may be a source of blessing to every reader."
"Many readers already join us in morning worship: oh, that all may receive grace from the Lord through the portion read! And when a similar number gather to read the evening selection, may all enjoy the smile of the heavenly Father."
