This day, in imperial 16mo., price 5s. cloth, or 6s. gilt edges, CLOSET DEVOTIONAL EXERCISES for the YOUNG, FROM TEN YEARS OLD AND UPWARDS.

Prepared and composed by the Rev. ALEXANDER FLETCHER, D.D., of Finsbury Chapel, London; and author of the work entitled, "Guide to Family Devotion.'

This work contains Services for the Morning and Evening of each day, extending over a period of three months.

Each Service consists-1st. Of a selection of verses from the Sacred Scriptures; 2nd. A few verses of a Psalm or Hymn; and, 3rd. A Prayer enriched with the doctrines and promises of the Word of God.

Thus, at a period of life peculiarly important, the RISING RACE may have an opportunity of laying up those stores of divine gospel truth, which are so necessary, in future life, for the exercise of extemporary Prayer.

The Author, for many years, has been most earnestly solicited to prepare a work of this description, which, by the blessing of the Holy Spirit, may be attended, and followed, by benefits of incalculable value, and of permanent advantage.

Let it never be forgotten, that a spirit of grace and supplication, sent down from above, is the strength of families, the glory of the church, and the bulwark of nations.

POPLAR HOUSE ACADEMY.

BY

THE AUTHOR OF "MARY POWELL."

"In every village, marked with little spire,
Embowered in trees, and hardly known to fame,
There dwells, in lowly shade and mean attire,
A matron old, whom we schoolmistress name."
