The History, Object, and Proper Observance of the Holy Season of Lent (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from The History, Object, and Proper Observance of the Holy Season of Lent

In this state of things, the writer has frequent ly sought - but without success - for something, which in a small compass might contain the ne cessary information with respect to the Lenten Fast. He could only find, a few pages by one author - a sermon by another - or perhaps some brief tracts, which, although excellent in them selves, did not attempt to discuss the whole sub ject. Having waited therefore for several years in vain, in the hope that the desired work would be furnished by some one better able to do it jus tice, he has at length ventured himself to under take the task.

Excerpt from The History, Object, and Proper Observance of the Holy Season of Lent

For some years past each return of Lent has been, we believe, regarded with additional interest. Many who were not trained up within the pale of the Church, are looking to her fold as a refuge more fixed and stable than any they can find elsewhere. They of course eagerly inquire into the History, Object, and Proper Observance of the Holy Seasons which are set forth in her Calendar. Among those, too, who have been educated to attend her services, there seems to be a growing appreciation of their beauty, and a wish to know more of their origin.
