Excerpt from A Collection of Short Gems for Remembering "Anniversary Days" And Helping With "Thoughtful Little Things" To Enrich the Home-Life for Greater Happiness and Higher Thought The object of publishing this collec tion of remembrances is not for the purpose of seeing them in print, but the great desire to help inculcate in the minds of my readers the thought of how much we may help each other through life and make it brighter and better by remembering anniversaries. The writer has derived more happiness from these little things than he could measure up, and knows what joy it has given those who were remem bered. If the author can only add one convert to the list, he will consider himself rewarded for sending forth this little book.
