To the Reader

The title of this volume was suggested by an intimate friend who has long urged me to publish a series of practical papers on the Christian life, — from the soul’s first steps towards Jesus Christ clear onward to its final home-coming into Heaven. If these chapters shall bring light to any bewildered soul, or strength to the feeble-hearted — any relief to the overloaded or joy to the sorrowing, then my honest labor of love will not go unrewarded.
