Le pasteur James Smith (1802-1862) tait le pr d cesseur de Charles Spurgeon dans la chaire de Park Street Church, Londres. Il a laiss de nombreux volumes de sermons et de m ditations tr s appr ci s, mais c'est surtout pour son Believer's Daily Remembrancer}, un ouvrage d votionnel pour tous les jours de l'ann e, que les Britanniques se rappellent son nom. Plusieurs ann es apr s sa mort, Sophie Godet (1853-1928), fille de Fr d ric, traduisit ces m ditations quotidiennes, et ajouta pour chacune d'elle une po sie fran aise rempla ant celle qui existait en langue anglaise. Le livre parut chez Fischbacher en 1880 et connut un succ s consid rable et continu, puisqu'il a t r dit une vingtaine de fois jusqu'en notre si cle. Que pr sente-t-il donc de particulier par rapport tant d'autres calendriers vang liques du m me genre ? Tenant sur une page, chaque r flexion d veloppe tr s pertinemment la courte citation biblique du jour, et la belle strophe versifi e se grave dans le coeur. Le chr tien peut les relire ann e apr s ann e sans s'en lasser, parce qu'elles lui rappellent les innombrables tr sors et b n dictions que Dieu nous a laiss s dans sa Parole; ce qui tait d'ailleurs le but nonc dans le titre original: The Daily Remembrancer. Cette dition Th oTeX reproduit celle de 1880.
