Présentation de l'éditeur

A mid the whirl of the manifold occupations and pleasures of life, religion sterling religion, abiding in our heart, and showing itself in our actions, too frequently comes to be forgotten. Yet if we have not known it as we ought, or if we have relinquished it for worldly pursuits, unaware of their worthlessness, religion awaits us ever, from our earliest wanderings, to give us hope and strength, and to bring our soul into harmony with all that is pure, consoling, and able to fit us for happiness eternal. It unfolds to us the secret of dwelling in peace with God, with ourselves, and with mankind; teaching us how we may live tranquilly in the consciousness of fulfilling our duty in this world, and of amassing infinite treasures for the world to come. We, who now strive after transitory enjoyments and are occupied with ambitious schemes, could find with much ease, in the love and practice of our holy religion, the peace of our own conscience, as well as the temporal and eternal welfare of those nearest and dearest to us; whereas we too often make painful efforts to satisfy ourselves or others with fleeting pleasures or mere worldly advantages a thankless task, indeed, proffering but a vain reward.
