It was one of the fine sayings of the mystic Arndt that what the heart is in man, that is the Psalter in the Bible and he who sought for every encouragement of the inner life of God skingdom among men went not astray in seeking in the incomparable book a rich treasure. What Arndt sought and found in the sixteenth century shone no less clearly in the centuries that have since passed, as succeeding generations opened the treasure and garnered each for himself out of the store that never grew less. But every generation must seek anew; naught that others have garnered avails to satisfy the renewing needs of men. So it happens that a new heart and hand and a fresh and vigorous mind have gone a-searching, and lo, dear Reader, heres the treasure trove set out fair and beautiful for you. Take it and be wise; own it as your own and be happy. But before you read would you hear anothers witness? Here it is, for I have read and am the wiser, have possessed as though never before the secret of the Book of Psalms and am happy. For I have read in this little book many a wise saying in modern words, full of life, fresh, real, true and good, and you shall read them now. I congratulate you on this opportunity, and count my friend, the author, very happy indeed so to serve this present age. Robert W. Rogers.
