ΤΟ

MY HUSBAND,

FELLOW-PILGRIM IN A PATH SIMILAR TO THAT

HEREIN FAINTLY SKETCHED,-DARKSOME, YET ILLUMINED,

AND BRIGHTENING MORE ONLY AS HEAVEN'S NEARER LIGHT FALLS

UPON IT, WHO, NOT SHUNNING FOR HIMSELF ITS ROUGHNESSES, HAS EVER

SMOOTHED THE WAY FOR THESE TENDERER FEET, NOBLY

BEARING MORE THAN HIS HALF ITS BURDENS,

This Simple Rarrative,

STRONGLY SUGGESTIVE OF OUR MUTUAL TRIALS, AND FEWER YET

FAR MORE EXCEEDING JOYS,

IS AFFECTIONATELY AND GRATEFULLY

Juscribed.
