Excerpt from Memories of George Warburton George warburton was a very joyful man. This does not mean that he was one of those glossy, tiresome, superficial people who deny or ignore the reality of evil, pain, and sorrow in the world. He had too much common sense to take that easy way of apparent escape from the facts of life. His boyhood in his father's blacksmith shop, his manhood of hard work in the service of the Young Men's Christian Association, made him a real realist and kept him out Of the Pollyanna School of pink rib bons. But through all and spite of everything, he was distinctly a man of joy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
