Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Christ's Cure for Care
Thank God, there is a blessed Gospel for busy men and burdened women, but it must be a Gospel that is fitted for their moments of leisure. Whatever it may lack at the hands of him who brings it, there must not be want ing sympathy, interest, homeliness. This has been my thought, my aim, my prayer in writing this book. The homeliest of ills, I have sought to deal with it in homeliest fashion.
To make it the more complete I have added such hymns as seemed likely to set forth its teaching more fully; for there is a soothing in the lilt and rhythm of words as well as in their sentiment, for which a jaded soul is often grateful.
For the use of Miss Rossetti's poem, I have to acknowledge my indebtedness to Messrs.
Macmillan. Of the hymns, I can not find that any permission is required for their use. If I am mistaken I must ask forgiveness, and will hasten to correct the error.
The chapter headed Consider the Lilies was for the most part published some time ago in another form.
