For example, the meditation on The Safety o f the Occupied Heart (Gal. 5:16- 25) : “Two friends were cycling through Worcestershire and Warwickshire to Birm­ ingham. When they arrived in Birming­ ham I asked them if they had seen War­ wick Gaol along the road. ‘No,’ they said, ‘we never saw it.’ Ah, but these friends' were lovers. . . . They were otherwise engaged.” And we must be otherwise en­ gaged, Dr. Jowett says, if we would resist temptation. Leather bound. Boxed. Price $2 My Daily Meditation for the Circling Year

It is my practice to recommend this book everywhere I go, and I shall do so with even greater enthusiasm from this time on.” Cloth bound.
