Excerpt from The Aged Pilgrim's Triumph Over Sin and the Grave: Illustrated in a Series of Letters, Never Before Published Lic; but] know you agree with me, that their statement could not be suppressed, without doing injustice to the character of our reverend and valued friend. When I consider those acts of friendship were only such as became the Christian character, I sacrifice my reluctance to their publicity, to the ardent desire, that these excellent Letters may be found as consoling to others under affliction, as they were to those to.

Excerpt from Hints to Pilgrims And then there are the electric signs - the mammoth kitten rolling its ball of silk, ginger-ale that forever issues from a bottle, a fiery motor with a flame of dust, the Wrigley triplets correcting their sluggish livers by exercise alongside the Astor roof. Surely letters despatched home to Kalamazoo deal excitedly with these flashing portents. And of the railroad stations and the Woolworth Tower with its gothic pinnacles questing into heaven, what pilgrim words are ade quate! Here, certainly, Kalamazoo is baffled and must halt and bite its pen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Pilgrim Papers: From the Writings of Francis Thomas Wilfrid, Priest This correspondence (if it Should be SO called) is, indeed, largely Of the stuff Of which dreams are made; but I trust no reader will lightly dismiss the substance Of many Of these Papers on that account. Thinking them singularly appropriate for more reasons than one, I have ventured to preface two lovely little verses by Mr. Arthur Christopher Benson, now Master Of Magdalene College in the University Of Cam bridge. For there may be reality in dreams, and there are dreams of reality. In Wilfrid's letters I detect a good deal Of both. At any rate, he sacrificed his life to his dreams, and a man can hardly set higher attestation than that to his faith that they are true. If too little endures Of them, does he not herein Offer all that there is to his friend? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Wanderings of a Pilgrim A preface is a thing of inconsistencies. Though it comes first in the Book, it is last in the Author's thoughts; the first thing with the reader, it is the last with the writer and the printer. Though it is the shortest part of the Book, it is by far the most difficult. And though it is no part of the Book, it is sometimes the only part read, and the longest remembered. It is always demanded by custom, though oftentimes wholly unnecessary. It is like a visit of ceremony, with half an ex cuse for not calling sooner, and half an apology for calling at all. It is like the title Esq., which is no part of any man's name, and yet every man writes it on a letter to his neighbour. It is like notes at the bottom of the page, which, if they contain anything important, had better be put in the body of the work. Finally, it is like standing at the door in a rain-storm, and sending in the servant to announce your name. A Preface in the present case might have been spared, inas much as there is an introductory chapter. But perhaps it may be set down as one of those graces in book-life, like the touch of your hat to a friend across the street, which softens the manners, and does not permit men to be brutes. This doubtless is the philosophy of it, though the etymology intimates that it is simply the art of putting the best face foremost. It may be questioned whether it were not better not to have published at all; but this should have been thought of before. When I first wrote, I was thinking of dear friends, just as in collecting my Alpine Flowers, and of the pleasure I would give them, if ever permitted to show them my mountain treasures. To write merely for the public is but poor business; it makes a sort of commercial traveller out of a man, who goes about like an Argus, seeing with a hundred eyes, not one of which is his own; seeing everything for the public, nothing for himself a kind of commission agent to trade with nature, and drive the best Speculations.

Many a Pilgrim on the Probationary Path will find in it much of help and inspiration, and it will serve to deepen the sense of the reality of our Teachers, some times blurred in the minds of neophytes by the tumultuous happenings in the outer world, as the notes of a Vina are drowned it played in the rattle of an engine-shed.
