"If these pages for the young, help to give them ideas sufficiently just to prevent, in after life, a useless and dangerous collision with the word of God, in their more mature study of His works, -- above all, if they assist in ever so small a measure to form the habit of looking not only for God in all things, but at all things in God, which is the more Scriptural expression, as well as the higher attitude of mind, the writer will not have been employing a few of her leisure hours in vain."--Preface.
