Sending this little book out into the world is like sending out one of
my children, for as they came from my heart, so has it. My heart has
ached for my children as it has been necessary for them to go out and
meet the buffetings of an unsympathetic world and so aches it for this
little fledgling. But still I have a hope that the world will not be
wholly unkind to it and that it will find its place and accomplish that
which has been hoped for it, in helping human lives and adding to the
sum of purity in the world.
This little message grew out of an address made before a section of the
Women’s Club of the city and their request to have it published. I have
not changed the literary style from that of public address, thinking
that perhaps it would be more effective in that form.
You will doubtless find some striking and unusual statements in this
message, but all I ask is that you will give it careful thought and
that you will remember that these statements have been made after
twenty years of careful study of the mysteries of life and that they
are backed up by the best of physical and psychic facts. I have
not dared to go into detailed explanation for want of space and so
may bring down on my head storms that I might easily dissipate if I
were but in touch with the storm maker. But let the storms come if
they must, I will rejoice amidst them all if only I can awaken the
parenthood of this land to the dangers to which their children are
exposed.
Yours for purity,
