This is not a volume of essays, but a collection of chapters written out of the author’s own experience, in the hope that they may do a little, at least, to make the path plainer for others.
这不是一卷论文集，而是从作者自己的经历中写出的章节汇集，希望它们至少能为别人使道路更加清晰。
The book is all practical, without a line that is not intended to bear upon the actual life of the common days.
这本书完全是实用的，没有一行不是为了关涉日常生活的实际而写的。

It is not meant to show people an easy way of living—there is no easy way to live worthily—but it seeks to show why it is worth while to live earnestly, at whatever cost.
它不是要向人们显示容易的生活方式——没有容易的方式能活得有价值——而是要显明为什么值得认真地生活，无论代价如何。
The book is designed to be a companion to ‘Week-Day Religion’, which has met with such wide and continued favor, and which appears to have been used by the Master to help many people over the hard places and up to a fuller, richer life.
这本书被设计为《工作日宗教》的伴侣，那本书受到了如此广泛和持续的青睐，并且似乎被主使用来帮助许多人度过艰难之处，达到更丰盛、更富足的生活。
The hundreds of letters which have come from readers of that little book and of ‘Silent Times’ have encouraged the author to prepare the present volume along the same line, and it is now sent forth in the hope that it likewise may have a ministry of encouragement, stimulus, comfort or strength—in some lives of toil, care, struggle or sorrow.
从那本小书和《静默时光》的读者那里收到的数百封信激励作者按同样的路线准备这本书，现在发出它，希望它同样能在一些劳苦、挂虑、争战或忧伤的生命中有鼓励、激励、安慰或力量的事工。
