Preface

his suggestive and stimulating counsel has immeasurably enhanced whatever value the book may possess.

It is my sincere wish and earnest prayer that this book may not only instruct, but may even inspire somewhat those who read it with deep and reverent love and loyalty for the religion of our fathers, which has descended to us through many centuries as our most precious heritage, and which we, in turn would cherish and safeguard and hand down enlarged and enriched unto our children and our children's children.

Julian Morgenstern.

Cincinnati, Nov. 29, 1918.
