THAT PRINTER OF UDELL'S


A STORY OF THE MIDDLE WEST


BY HAROLD BELL WRIGHT





DEDICATION

TO THAT FRIEND WHOSE LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME
MANY BEAUTIFUL TRUTHS; WHOSE WORDS
HAVE STRENGTHENED AND ENCOURAGED ME
TO LIVE MORE TRUE TO MY GOD, MY FELLOWS
AND MYSELF; WHO HOPED FOR ME WHEN
OTHERS LOST HOPE; WHO BELIEVED IN ME
WHEN OTHERS COULD NOT; WHO SAW GOOD
WHEN OTHERS LOOKED FOR EVIL; TO THAT
FRIEND, WHOEVER HE IS, WHEREVER HE MAY
BE, I AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATE THIS STORY.
