Introduction

All the world loves a lover. Not that his story is new, but it is authentic. Love's tale is old enough, yet in every twilight it is told with blushes mantling the brow as in the purple dusk of Eden. This young author remints in this book the unreckoned gold of old truths; and flings it far and wide like a herald showering on sinners the largess of his King.

He takes note of the relative value of truth's cries, guineas, not groats, pleads vehemently with eloquence, not affronted or dismayed. His piety is fervent; his motive, lofty; his sympathy, magnetic. He hammers out his homilies at white heat, to the swinging rythm of Methodist hymns, tears falling on the anvil trembling beneath his stroke. Loving his work he is worthy of his wage. These words, in articulate speech, have moved hundreds into the sunshine of God's smile. May the printed page move thousands more.
