Dr. C. C. Lathrap, her husband, we are enabled to put in book form many of the written words of Mary T. Lathrap. He and members of the family have spent much time and bestowed much labor in collecting this material and putting it into the hands of the editor. He has also given the financial aid necessary to the publishing of a work of this kind by advancing funds to meet the expense of publishing. It is his wish that all profits arising from the sale of this volume shall go into the treasury of the Womans Christian Temperance Union of Michigan, at the head of which Mrs. Lathrap stood for so many years. The work herein published comprises but a small fraction of her wonderful labor, for the majority of her addresses, sermons, and Bible readings were given without being written. This is a fact much to be regretted ;for her written work gives a very inadequate idea of the real work which she did in her busy life. No hand but hers could fill out what she left only in skeleton form, and no one would presume to undertake such a task. In her intense earnestness she scattered with a lavishness seldom seen, rare gems of thought, the products of her fertile brain, but she was too eager for the end to be accomplished to preserve these even for her own use, and the world is the loser. It was her intention to retire from official life in the near future, and to complete her public work by issuing three volumes, one of poems, one of sermons, one of addresses. But the only hand that could perform that task is stayed, and these words herein contained are published for the sake of perpetuating the noble work which she has done. JULIA R. PARISH.
