PREFACE


There is much more I should like to write, but I do not think a large book is accepted by the general reader as readily as a smaller one. So lest this grows to too great a size, I have concluded to close it with what I now have written. The selections I have made from other writers are "Spiritual Declension, " "Seek First the Kingdom of God, " "Stirring the Eagle's Nest, " "The Little Foxes, " "On Dress, " "Victory, " and the poems "The Solitary Way, " "Sometime, " and the closing.


I pray that the sayings of this little volume will animate many a soul to a higher, nobler, holier life. Although it is written to young Christians, it may do some good to older saints. I hope it will. I commit it to the public with no other motive than to do good.
