TO MY MOTHER
Who, Through the Upfloodings of a Pure Mother Heart, Kissed Nobleness and Courage Into the Heart of Her Boy, This Book Is Dedicated.
PRESS OF THE MONARCH PRINTING CO. COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA

Sending this little book out into the world is like sending out one of my children, for as they came from my heart, so has it. My heart has ached for my children as it has been necessary for them to go out and meet the buffetings of an unsympathetic world and so aches it for this little fledgling. But still I have a hope that the world will not be wholly unkind to it and that it will find its place and accomplish that which has been hoped for it, in helping human lives and adding to the sum of purity in the world.
This little message grew out of an address made before a section of the Women’s Club of the city and their request to have it published. I have not changed the literary style from that of public address, thinking that perhaps it would be more effective in that form.
