In times like the present, it is important to seize upon every opportunity, and to use all lawful means, to convey Divine truth to the mind. Infidelity is using the press to pervert, degrade, and ruin the souls of the young. Licentiousness is in league with infidelity, and together they are doing immense mischief to the rising generation. The Church of Christ has done much to counteract the influence of an infidel and licentious press ;but much yet remains to be done. Under this impression, we rejoice to see works of a moral or spiritual character published in a cheap form, and circulated largely among the masses. But we especially rejoice when works calculated to arrest the attention, interest the mind, and sanctify the heart of young persons are published and circulated among us. With such feelings we wish to introduce to parents, teachers, and young persons, this volume. It is simple Scriptural adapted to arrest the attention, and impress the heart. It is an attempt to please, in order to profit ;to interest, in order to instruct ;to impress, in order to improve. Here are flowers and food, fancy and facts, faith and feeling, doctrines and duties. It speaks to the eye, that it may improve the heart. It cautions the careless, counsels the perlexed, and comforts the cast-down.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
