dropcap

Thedesign of this work is to rouseto honorable effort those who arewasting their time and energies throughindifference to life's prizes. In the furtheranceof this aim the authors haveendeavored to gather from all possiblesources the thoughts of those wise andearnest men and women who have usedtheir pens to delineate life and its possibilities,its joys and its sorrows. They do not claimto have furnished more than the setting in which areplaced these "Gems" of thought gathered thus fromsources widely different.

Their hope is, that they may be able to rouse inthe minds of the careless a sense of the value ofexistence. To those who are striving nobly for truemanhood or womanhood, they would fain bring wordsof encouragement. They trust that many may derivefrom its pages inspirations which will serve tomake real their hopes of success and happiness.
