BV4501 Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1864, by ANSON D. F. RANDOLPH, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States, for the Southern District of New York. 56928 HE aim of this volume is practical throughout. It TH is designed to conduct the mind of the reader onward from a state of religious indifference to a sober contemplation of the objects and duties of life, and to urge them upon the heart and conscience. Without entering minutely into the obligations that pertain to our several relations as social beings, its main theme is, Life and its Duties. Hence its title, LIFE LESSONS. Some portions of the volume have been published in different forms, and, by some readers, will doubtless be recognized. They have here been restored to their proper place in the chapters to which they belong. If the anticipations of the individual at whose instance the work has been prepared for publication shall be fulfilled in the useful service which it may render to the cause of Christ, the author's labor will be more than requited. |
