THE lady who has written this book has sent it in writing all the way to the United States for me to read before it is printed. I have done so with much pleasure. I think all the children who read it will be interested, and trust it will do them good. I hope that many will be led by it to see how the Saviour "loved us and gave himself for us," and that they will thus be led to LOVE HIM, and give themselves to Him, and then live to win others to Him.
If you were going into a room where you were told there were many beautiful things, you would be surprised, if it were a bright sunny day, to find it quite dark. Your first question would be, "cannot we open these shutters and let the light in?" Now, as you read this book you must ask God to let a light from Heaven shine upon it, so that you can understand the great truths in it. I trust that many will be made happy through the teaching of this book.
Praying that you may be one of this number, I am, your Friend, E. P. HAMMOND.
