INTRODUCTION.

In offering this book to the public noclaim is made to literary merit or originalityof thought. It is published with thesame purpose its contents were spokenfrom the platform, namely, to do good.

With the testimony of many, that hearingthese lectures helped to shape theirlives, came the thought that reading themmight help others when the tongue thatspoke them is silent.

As a public speaker the author admits,that how to get a grip on his hearers outweighedthe grammar of language; thatthe ring of sincerity and truth in presentinga proposition appealed to him morethan relation of pronoun or preposition;besides in the "high school of hardknocks" from which he graduated artistictaste in literature was not taught.

If it is true that "tongue is more potentthan pen," then the mysterious power ofpersonality and delivery will be missed inthe reading, yet it is hoped the simplicityof the setting of anecdote and argument,incident and experience, facts and figures,story, poetry and appeal will suffice tomake this volume attractive and helpful tothose who read it, and thus the lives ofmany may be made brighter and better bythe life work of the author.
