Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Along the Friendly Way: Reminiscences and Impressions
But there is no uncertainty about the backward view. It is all agleam with the things which that same Hand once dropped about me. From what I know I can trust the still unknown. In spite of sorrows, bewilderments, mistakes - and worse, I am so far along. The retrospect of life is a happy pastime, - that is, when I am wise enough to forget some things. Why should I not forget them, since the good book assures me that He no longer remem bers them against me? If it gives an Old man pleasure to think over the past, it may be profitable to others who are coming the same way that he should talk out loud what he thinks.
