HITTLE JOURNEYS for 1906 are simply twelve 

 love stories which have been told before, but 

 differently. Love is not so rare that history has 

 to be ransacked for it ; if all the lovers in the land read 

 these booklets the author will have an audience vast be- 

 yond compare, and wondrous kind, for love is only sym- 

 pathy, plus. 



Happy are the lovers who have no history. These stories 

 deal with passion thwarted, misunderstood, opposed 

 They tell of difficulties, dire disgrace, ostracism, exile, 

 hate, death success. However, it is not all gloom, for 

 lovers are ever unconscious comedians, and we who read 

 have license to laugh, weep or sneeze. 

 But love, despite its tragedies and mistakes, is the one 

 vital thing in the world. Why God chooses lovers as in- 

 struments of creation we do not know we only know 

 He does & & 



It is love that shapes 'he plastic clay into forms divinely 

 fair ; love carves all statues ; writes all poems ; paints all 

 canvases that glorify the walls where color revels ; sings 

 all the songs that enchant our ears. 



All of man's handiwork that finds form in beauty has its 

 ifise in the loves of men and women. 

 Love is creative love is creation.
