Preface

The author aims at extreme simplicity, not hoping to attain so sublime a mark, yet trusting that even a vain endeavor may strike nearer than any lower aim would.

He recommends his book particularly to the simple: — The little ones, of course; but equally those of their elders who relish the everlasting truth of Christ’s beautiful words: ' ‘Unless you be converted and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” (Matt., XVIII., 3.).
