ind is never dependent
on people or things for its pleasure.

The acquiring of helpful knowledge, the seeking of worth-while truth,
are ever profitable employments, paying present and future dividends,
and meanwhile those acts positively divert the thought from morbid
tendencies.

The Evening Round-Up is intended to be a companionable, helpful text
book, a counselor and a friend.

We shall strive to bring helpful knowledge, good cheer and interesting
facts, for your present occupation and benefit.

If I succeed in accomplishing my purpose even in part my time has been
well spent.

We have an unchallenged fact to rest our feet on, a fact that shall
follow us through all the pages of this book; and that is: our thoughts
NEVER stop, our brains never sleep.

While we live we shall never get away from our thought; so then, we must
consider that thought current, and reckon with it.

The motive power is turned on and we must grasp the helm if we sail the
sea of life successfully, baffling storms and avoiding rocks.

Scientific books are usually dry, uninviting reading; they lack the
human interest. They are generally bloodless skeletons.

We shall try to weave science into new patterns and paint interesting
pictures so that science will attract and not repel.

This book is different in its suggestions, in its prescriptions, in its
language, but it is universal with all scientific books, in that its aim
is helpful truth.

We go by different routes, but our objective point is the same.

We will avoid technical names and symbols and speak the common language
that the multitude understands.

We shall deal with problems and aspirations that come to us all in this
busy workaday world.

We shall try to cut the underbrush in the swamp and blaze a plain trail
out on to the big high road.

We shall keep in step to the drum-beats of truth, we will rest and
recreate in cool shady places, and then up and on to our purpose with
smiles on our faces, courage in our hearts, and song on our lips.

Every moment of our journey shall be worth while and positively helpful
if we take the trip with conscientious applications, and continuity of
purpose.

Our path is strewn with roses and thorns; we must enjoy the roses and
escape the thorns.

We welcome you, the neophyte, who has joined us in our pilgrimage.
