This is a devotional work by Reverend John Vaughan. From the preface:"THE human heart is captivated more readily and more effectually by love than by fear. As children that love their parents serve and obey those parents more cheerfully and willingly than children who are actuated merely by fear, so people in general are drawn to the practice of virtue and attracted to the service of God more efficaciously by the power of love than by the principle of fear.It is true that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom," yet it is only the beginning; for love is the completion of wisdom: perfect charity casteth out fear, because fear hath pain, and he that feareth is not perfected in charity." 1. John iv. 18.Many persons find the service of God very hard, and the way of salvation difficult, because they do not love God; and they do not love Him because they do not know Him. "He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is charity." 1. John iv. 8.Whoever throws light on this powerful and magnetic principle of love smooths the way of salvation for thousands, and becomes a great benefactor of mankind. This the Right Rev. Monsignor Vaughan has done in his excellent work, "Thoughts for All Times." From this truly valuable book the reader gets a deeper insight into the meaning of the words of the beloved disciple, Let us love God, because God first hath loved us." 1. John iv. 19."
