This little book of GEMS is published for the children of the Fruit Vale Sunday School, and by the aid of their contributions. The GEMS have been selected after earnest prayer for the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Each is intended to be a help to some soul in time of need. Christ alone is the strong ship that can carry us safely over the troubled sea of life, but one of these GEMS may be a light-house to warn us from the reefs and shoals of sin; another may be a faithful compass when clouds and darkness hang over the soul; another may be the glorious sun shining forth when we have lost our reckoning; another may be a life-boat to bear up the poor shipwrecked sailor; and all together may guide us at last to the Golden Gate that opens to the harbor of refuge and rest, where the heavenly city appears all glorious in the light of God's own loving presence. But to those who would drink deep of the waters of life, I can only point to the cross of Christ, and to the Bible which is filled with many more GEMS as beautiful as those printed here.

To all who need the salvation purchased by the infinite love of Christ, but more especially to the children who should store their minds with these precious GEMS, this book is affectionately inscribed.
