The Epiphany season is the devotional and practical
commentary on the Incarnation as the revelation of human duties. Nowhere
does our Church teach more happily and effectively than during these Epiphany
Sundays, and it is much to be regretted that this complete and beautiful
course of subjects is so frequently curtailed by the early incidence of
Easter. The Epiphany Gospels claim the place of honour, and exhibit Sunday
by Sunday some new manifestation of the character of Christ. Each Epistle
enforces the special feature of its Gospel, and show how it is to be reproduced
in the Christian character, while each Collect turns the Sunday lesson
into a prayer.
