About this book

Lessons in Life; A Series of Familiar Essays is by Josiah Gilbert Holland. The preface says the author has aimed to be neither brilliant nor profound and has endeavored, simply, to treat in a familiar and attractive way a few of the more prominent questions which concern the life of every thoughtful man and woman. The text on moods says the writer has found moods to be very poor tests of character.

The text says that many a Christian has times of feeling that God is in a special manner smiling upon him, and says the truth is that he is only in a good mood. The text on farmers says that mind must be the emancipator of the farmer and that science, intelligence and machinery must liberate the white bondman of the soil from his long slavery. The text says that we cannot get any more out of human life than we put into it, and that the differences among mankind are the results of differences in the nourishment upon which their minds are fed.
