GREETING

This book is for those who in treading the garden path have no thoughtof material gain; rather must they give,—from the pocket as theymay,—from the brain much,—and from the heart all,—if they would drinkin full measure this pure joy of living.

"Allons! the road is before us!
It is safe—I have tried it—my own feet
have tried it well—be not detained."

Walt Whitman.
