Overview
From the Author's This volume was compiled especially for those pen-and-ink friends who, through their encouragement and counsel and affection, have made all of my working hours so pleasant. The following pages are sweet, to me, with thoughts of the ones for whom they were bound together. Just nine articles, from "The Christian Herald," have been included in this book. They are the articles which have inspired the largest number of letters from my readers – for I have tried to keep a careful count of such letters. The verses have been gathered from various magazines, some of them are newly written, and some of them are the ones that members of "The Christian Herald" family have loved. "Your Book and Mine" is divided into three parts. The first part I think of as the "happy part" – for in it I have placed the bits of writing that folk have, through letters, told me that they enjoyed. The second part might be called inspirational or thoughtful or helpful – what you will! For it holds the fragments that have, according to my friends, carried the stuff of dreams to lonely hearts. And the last part is made up of those things that I hope have brought a ray of light into some shadowy place - that have perhaps given comfort. I hope that you, my friends, will like "Your Book and Mine." For I cannot help feeling that it belongs more – oh, so much more – to you than it does to me!
