The author's wish is to people other i' \ 'r ( hearts with love of flower and woodland path and drifting cloud and dimming light and y moonlit distance and starlight and voices of bird and wind and cadence of the rainfall and the storm, and to make men and women more the lovers of this bewildering world fashioned in loveliness by the artist hand of God. And beyond all this, he would be glad to bring them into fellowship and love with God, which is the poesy and eloquence of life. WILLIAM A. QUAYLE.
