Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Feathers for Arrows: Or, Illustrations From My Note Book
Whenever I have been permitted sufficient respite from my ministerial duties to enjoy a lengthened tour, or even a short excursion, I have been in the habit of carrying with me a small Note Book, in which I have jotted down any illustrations which have occurred to me by the way. My recreations have been all the more pleasant because I have made them subservient to my life-work. The Note Book has been useful in my travels as a mental purse. If not fixed upon paper, ideas are apt to vanish with the occasion which suggested them. A word or two will suffice to bring an incident or train of thought to remembrance; and there fore, it would be inexcusable in a minister, who needs so much, not to preserve all that comes in his way.
