Présentation de l'éditeur :
LIFE is a mystery to all men, and the more profound the deeper the striving spirit is immersed in its own selfish instincts. This book will tell us that there is a good time coming, and for each one of us, if we work and wait for it; but we must work patiently, and look in the right direction.
