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 “Seek First the Kingdom,” “Victory,” “The Little Foxes,” “Spiritual Declension,” “On Dress,” “A Solitary Way,” “Stirring the Eagle’s Nest,” “Sometime,” and the “Closing Exhortation.”

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.
