Read the Introduction by Rev. Robert Maguire, D. D.

Mr. Fooling

"Amid the earnest strivings of the soul, and its better thoughts and resolutions, there will yet at times intervene some secret whisper of the evil nature—some rebellious thought that would counsel foolishness, some remnant of the old nature that would still make itself heard, some representative of the old Adam rising up in the soul to counteract its better feelings, and to weaken or modify its good intentions. Such is this principle, Mr. FOOLING."[2]
