Mountain Trailways for Youth by Mrs Charles Cowman and published by Classics.
One a morning a youth leader called at the office of The Oriental Missionary Society, Los Angeles, California. On what quest had he come? “Will you give to us a book of daily devotional readings - a book exclusively for youth? We are readers of “Streams in the Desert” and “Springs in the Valley,” and through Charles Cowman, Missionary Warrior, many of our youth have caught the vision of missionary service and have responded to the call to the nations. But, we need a book! One with a challenge to youth, for sacrificial living and a complete abandonment to God, a book, of our very own!”
What a challenge his request presented! One which seemed to be impossible of fulfilment, as my youthful days had long since flown. But prayer was made, God’s will earnestly sought; and now Mountain Trailways for Youth is on its mission to the youth of our generation. Those who bear the Master's name - whether youthful or aged - must all travel the same highway. Those who have journeyed the longest and farthest are better acquainted with the road, its dangerous windings and its detours, and thus the younger pilgrims on the trail value the words of counsel and the experience of their elders.
