Upper Currents

Preface

These chapters contain simple lessons, intended to incite to braver, stronger, truer living. We live well only when down here on earthly levels we catch the breath of heaven and are impelled toward things that are worth while. To be moved only by the lower earthly currents is to miss all that is best in life.

Philadelphia, U.S.A

J.R. Miller

Quote

A man's reach should exceed his grasp
Or what is Heaven for?

Browning
