PREFACE. ——————
THIS book is dedicated to the "large girls" in our Sunday-schools and Bible-classes, and especially to those who have taken upon themselves the name and vows of the Christian disciple. I hope they may find that in its pages which will stimulate them to new desires after holiness, new efforts for usefulness, and a more hearty desire to know and to do "the whole" of God's will concerning them.
