Unto The Uttermost Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Uttermost Star and Other Gleams of Fancy An author putting the finishing touches to his manuscript and writing his Introduction resembles a hostess preparing to receive her guests. For weeks she has been engaged in making the most careful preparations for their entertainment. Now the evening has arrived; her great hour has come; she is about to take up her position at the door. Her anxious eye wanders restlessly over the polished floors, the pictured walls, the cosy chairs, the faultless tables - everything. She sees that every flower is showing to the best advantage; that every noble vase and marble statuette is in its place; and that every lamp is casting its softest, loveliest glow. But what is that? The sound of wheels! They draw up at the gate! Throw the doors wide open! The first guests are arriving! Welcome! a thousand welcomes! If those who accept the hospitality of these pages find in them half the pleasure that their preparation has afforded me, I shall count myself the happiest of hosts.
