PREFACE.
NONE pass through life without trials and temptations; yet few regard them aright, as means of purification from evil. Unless tried and tempted, we would not know how deeply depraved we are, nor be induced to strive for the mastery over the wrong tendencies of corrupt nature. Trials and temptations are, therefore, real blessings, although, when we are bearing the burden and passing through the fire, they are not joyous, but grievous.
