TO A HOLY LENT. BY THE BISHOP OF CENTRAL NEW YORK. Frederic Dan Huntington. E. P. DUTTON & COMPANY, CHURCH PUBLISHERS, 713 BROADWAY, 1872. Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1872, by In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. YTIRUVIMU M. H. MALLORY & CO. PRINTERS AND ELECTROTYPES, HARTFORD, CONN INTRODUCTORY NOTE. Ir has been thought by several friends that a little work like that which follows would be acceptable, and of some use. The plan is very simple, and will be recognized at a glance. For each of the days, from Ash-Wednesday to Easter Even, a few thoughts are offered, such as might not otherwise come to mind, to assist the spiritual exercises of this sacred season, both by giving a special theme and perhaps increased freshness to private devotion, and by connecting the closet with ordinary life. To those who are familiar with the principles and history of Church-worship it will hardly be necessary to say that each daily portion, including something of Holy Scripture, meditation, hymn, and prayer, bears an analogy to our liturgical appointments, and is a kind of faint reflection in miniature of the order of Divine Service.
