Choosing a Good Book

TN o FALL in love with a good book
is one Of the greatest events that
Il befaIl us. It is to have a new
influence pouring itself into our life; a
new teacher to inspire and refine US: a
new friend TO be by our side always,
who. when life grows narrow and
weary, will take US into his wider and
calmer and higher world.
Whether 1t be biography, introducing
US to some humble life made great by
duty done: or history. opening vistas
into the movements and destinies Of
nations that have passed away; or
poetry, making music of all the common
things around us. and filling the fields
and the skies and the work of the city
and the cottage with eternal meanings;
whether it be these or story books or
religious books or science, no one can
become the friend even of one good book
without being made wiser and better.
Do not think that I am going to
recommend any such book to you. The
beauty of friend is that we discover
him, and we must each taste the books
that are accessible to us for ourselves.
DO not be dfsheartened at first IL you
like none Of them. That is possibly
their fault. not yours; but search and
search until you find what you like
