Excerpt from Life's Quiet Hours It seems to us, gentle reader, that a parallel might be drawn between the world around us and the inhabitants of this quiet village. The world is in a high state of feverish ex citement. Many are hurrying to and fro, and knowledge is increased. The great events which are crowding one upon another, each one of which is sufficiently important to form a distinct volume in future history, may well call forth the deepest energies of our race, and send out the most capable and stir ring spirits among us to mingle In the mighty fray, and from the tangled and complicated mass to draw forth the thread which shall guide the nations into peace.

Excerpt from Thoughts for Quiet Hours Through the Year This old sin-cursed, war-scarred world is heaving and yeasting in the throes of the most horrible tragedy it has ever known, furious in the restlessness of unstable and unsatisfying things. Thrones are crumbling, dynasties failing, hopes perishing, hearts aching and breaking, while the fiends of earth and hell are running riot. But in the darkest hour of the world's agony may be heard, above the roar of battle, the voice of Him who has all power and authority in heaven and upon earth saying - My peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth, give I unto you; let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. He is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Apart from the confusion and horrors of national strife, is the fact that this is a restless age. We are driving so fast and furiously that one has but little chance or time to think calmly upon the weighty and solemn problems of life and eternity. Many of our people cannot find time to attend the regular services of the Church; and some of those who do attend find it difficult to concentrate and keep their minds upon the worship of the house of prayer and the things that make for righteousness and peace. Helping any one to understand that the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever, in these dark, stormy and trying times; and into the sweet experience of that peace which passeth all understanding, is most surely a greatly needed and God-appointed ministry, - and the author of this vol ume has certainly been guided and blessed of God in the work he has done; and without doubt, the volume will be a means of bless ing to all who will give attention to it. I pray God's favor to accompany it on its mission of love. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
