Because of the oft-repeated requests of many friends who have been helped by reading the various booklets and magazine articles of the author, it has seemed best to publish them all under one cover, to offer a convenient way for readers to have the helps always at hand.

Lessons in Truth, because of its effective helpfulness, has been sought for and published in eleven languages; also in embossed point for the blind: Let us hope that this book, now sent forth with the same object -- that of being a practical living help in daily life -- may meet a like fate.
