Excerpt from Plain Sermons, by Contributors to the "Tracts for the Times," Vol. 8 Now there is a portion of our lord's history, which I think most exactly suitable to be read along with this Collect; I mean that from which the text is taken, - the account of the penitent thief upon the cross. If I do not mistake, his behaviour through out, after he once began to repent, is a perfect living and speak ing example Of that blessed temper of mind, which the Church, in the prayer we have just considered, expects all her children to practise.
