Author's preface

Read these counsels slowly.Pause to meditate their meaning.They are things that I whisper in your ear,as a friend, as a brother,as a father.We shall speak intimately;and God will be listening to us.I am going to tell you nothing new.I shall only stir your memoryso that some thought may ariseand strike you:and so your life will improveand you will set out along the way of prayerand of Love.And in the end you will become a soul of worth.
