Excerpt from Brethren at Work, Vol. 6: Jan. 4, 1881 Notwithstanding the somewhat nu in'viting character of my Prospectus, I still greet all to whom I shall minister, with a happy new year; and take the liberty to give _a. Little friendly advice. Since this New Year's morning forms an eventful period in the history of your life, and since I shall chronicle carefully all you do, endeavor to make this year the best one of your whole life. If you have been at enmity with any one, effect a reconciliation -at once, and start anew with me and we will journey pleasantly together, and if you live longer than I, I will bid you'a pleasant good night when I leave you. To the young I would say, ' Remem ber thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come and the years draw nigh wherein. Thou wilt say, I have no pleasure in them; for I will doubtless see many of you stricken down before I depart. To those more advanced in life, who have idled_ away their time thus far, I would urge not to delay one day long er. Redeem your time' speedily; for it is very evident that many of you will not live till I take my flight. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
