Excerpt from Upward and Onward: A Thought Book for the Threshold of Active Life
Few mature men can look back on their past history without feeling how much suffering and loss they have endured from the absence, in their youth, of a judicious counsellor at their side or a suitable book in their hand. For want of such sympathy and advice how many are wrecked in their youth by perilous mistakes and fatal errors, or at the best robbed of much of the comfort, respectability and honour to which, with better principles and nobler aims, they might have attained. With such feelings the following pages have been written, and though composed under circumstances the most disadvantageous, yet it is hoped there is in them sufficient of true sentiment and right thought to render their perusal purifying and elevating, and to help the youthful reader to higher thoughts and loftier aspirations respecting life, duty, and religion, which, by God's blessing, may cheer and guide him in the present world, and fit him for a nobler existence hereafter.
