Book Description

Excerpt from On the Mountain Top "Each has bis obstacles to overcome, his mountain to climb, and each aims to reach the top. But there is a difference in the way people climb. Some go sighing over hardships encountered, with shoulders bowed, and head drooping so low that the miasmas breathed make each step difficult. Others climb standing erect, with feet planted firmly, lungs filled with bracing air, a song in the heart, and eyes fixed upon the heights. The one grows weaker as he climbs, the other stronger. Which way will you climb?" These words were spoken in these pages to a discouraged girl, who believed that her upward path was steeper and more stony than that by which others were climbing. She was inspired by friendly counsel to greater exertion in reaching heights presented to her. We trust there is helpfulness in these pages for other climbers who are striving to reach the mountain top. In previous editions, this book - in deference to its publisher appeared under the name "Around the Ranch." But its present publishers believe the true spirit of the book is better expressed by the title upon which the author's thoughts centered when weaving the story - "On the Mountain Top."
