DEDICATION | to the great number of those who are seeking, in what- | ever manner or degree, from near at hand or far away, | to bring the forces of enlightenment to bear upon the | vexed problems which harass the South, this volume | is inscribed, with the hope that it may contribute to the | same good end.
If there be nothing new between its covers, neither is | love new, nor faith, nor hope, nor disappointment, nor | sorrow. | Yet life is not the less worth living because of | any of these, nor has any man truly lived until he has | tasted of them all.
