MDCCCLXVII.

O those whose "heart is as my heart,"
I offer this little volume, the offspring

of a year's enforced pause amid the activities of a busy ministry. I covet for it, chiefly, three successes; that, if God wills, it may be a messenger of mercy to the wandering; that it may be a comforter to the troubled; and that it may be a memory of the writer to many friends.

REDLAND, February 1867.
