“Oh, why did not someone tell me sooner?” wrote a lady who had passed through some very trying spiritual experiences that had been made far harder because they had been misinterpreted. It had been my privilege to explain some things through which she was passing. She had experienced great relief of mind and spirit by coming to look on her troubles in a new and clearer light.

About the same time another person, after receiving an explanation of difficulties and being instructed how to meet them wrote, “If I had known these things years ago I might have been spared many things and my life thereby made far happier than it has been.”
The receipt of hundreds of such letters and the personal testimony of other hundreds of people through the years I spent in evangelistic work and the twenty-one years on his bed as the result of accidental injuries, have convinced him that there is much need for a treatise covering some of the vital principles of life and experience common to so many of us.

It is my purpose in this little book to point out some of the underlying principles of Christian life and experience. I hope I have succeeded in doing so in a way that will be helpful to others to an extent comparable to the gratifying results of my more personal work and correspondence I will feel I have been well rewarded for my labors. I hope I have succeeded in making clear the way into the joyfully victorious life and that the reader may walk life’s way with the “everlasting joy” that belongs to those who have learned the secret of the singing heart.
