During the last few years of his life the author said to his retreat groups, “I have enough poems to make up another book and friends are asking, why don’t you print ,mother edition of Smoking Flax? Well, you just won’t let me,” he replied, and it was true. The call upon his time and strength was too great to allow him to carry out this desire that was on his heart.
This new and enlarged edition is the result of his prayers and the help of some of his “little ones” who knew what was on his heart. It is a joy to see this memorial book in print also, along with his lovely Christ mas poems contained in the volume entitled “A Chris mas Wreath.”
To those who have shared with us and have made this edition possible, our heartfelt thanks. We rejoice with you in sending out this book, knowing that God will be exalted - to Him be all the praise!
