Preface.
Dear young friends (perhaps I may ratherwelcome some amongst you as old friends),I would once more gather you around me tolisten to my simple stories. I have in eachone endeavoured to exemplify some truthtaught by the wise King Solomon, in the Book of Proverbs.Perhaps the holy words, which I trust thatmany of you have already learned to love, may be moreforcibly imprinted on your minds, and you may applythem more to your own conduct, when you see themillustrated by tales describing such events as may happento yourselves.
May the Giver of all good gifts make the choice ofSolomon also yours; may you, each and all, be endowedwith that wisdom from on high which is more preciousthan rubies; and may you find, as you proceed onwardto that better home to which Heavenly Wisdom wouldguide you, that her ways are ways of pleasantness, andall her paths are peace.
