A popular writer once asked his readers what they would say if they were asked to to put in ten pages a series of rules for the guidance of a son, brother, or friend. Then he suggested that no matter how well anyone may perform his task, his work “would seem to be loose and wordy” in comparison with the exalted wisdom of the Book of Proverbs.

In “The Path of Life” Dr. Miller's intimate words about some of these wonderful proverbs have been brought together that those who have learned to love the book of proverbs may delight in it still more, and that — perchance — some who have turned from this portion of God’s word with the feeling that it holds nothing for them may be led to resolve to make a thorough reading of this book of wisdom a regular portion of their Bible study.

The Way of Victory was published by Hodder & Stoughton: London, in 1914. It has 40 pages. The contents page indicates the page on which each chapter starts, but interestingly the pages are not numbered. There are also four coloured illustrations by Gwynedd M. Hudson entitled:

1. The Path of Life,
2. The Fruits of Wisdom,
3. The Way to Victory, and
4. The Excellent Woman.

G.M. Hudson also illustrated Alice in Wonderland and Peter and Wendy. The later work was later reissued as Peter Pan. Very little is know about Hudson’s life. If you have any information please email me.
