Book Description

Excerpt from Through Shadow to Sunshine For a number of years the Author of this little volume has been in the habit of keeping a memorandum of the various incidents coming under his own observation, illustrative of the laws regulating the traffic in intoxicating drinks. In the following pages he has endeavored to weave these various incidents into the form of a simple story, in the hope that it may aid those who are so earnestly striving to save our country from this great national evil. He is fully conscious of its many demerits as a literary effort, and trusts this frank acknowledgement will, as much as is proper; disarm criticism. It his been written at odd times, snatched from the most possible busy, active life, in many cases during hours that should have been devoted to sleep. The scenes are mostly given just as he knew them in some cases not even the name being changed. With an earnest prayer that it may accomplish its purpose, that by it some weak ones may be strengthened, and sorrowing ones be encouraged to labor and to hope, he sends it forth on its humble mission.
