PREFACE.
THE title of this book explains with sufficient clearness the important doctrine it is designed to teach. "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap," is a truth that must be palpable to every one of sound mind; for an effect always bears in it the quality of its cause. If men's actions are governed by selfish and evil purposes, a re-action of evil will follow as certainly as like produces like. From this law of existence there is no escape; and, this being so, every wise man will take heed unto his ways.
The illustrations of our subject presented in this volume, the ninth of the "LIBRARY FOR THE HOUSEHOLD," are not a tithe of what might be given. Enough is written, however, to make the truth we would teach so plain that even he who runneth may read.
