A quote from the London Quarterly Review:
"Christ's Cure for Care," by Mark Guy Pearse, has a message for all fretful and overburdened workers. Mr. Pearse's illustrations are very happy, and it would not be easy to read these homilies on the words of our Lord and His apostles without rising above the clouds. The hymns added to each section are aptly chosen, and the dainty title-page and binding make the volume very attractive. We should like to see it in every sick-room, and in the hands of all who are weary with life's burdens. Mr. Pearse has never brought us a more timely or welcome message."

PREFACE
A Book of Care must needs to be written with care.
Thank God, there is a blessed Gospel for busy men and burdened women, but it must be a Gospel that is fitted for their moments of leisure. Whatever it may lack at the hands of him who brings it, there must not be wanting sympathy, interest, homeliness. This has been my thought, my aim, my prayer in writing this book. The homeliest of ills, I have sought to deal with it in homeliest fashion.
To make it the more complete I have added such hymns as seemed likely to set forth its teaching more fully; for there is a soothing in the lilt and rhythm of words as well as in their sentiment, for which a jaded soul is often grateful.
For the use of Miss Rossetti's poem, I have to acknowledge my indebtedness to Messrs. Macmillan. Of the hymns, I cannot find that any permission is required for their use. If I am mistaken I must ask forgiveness and will hasten to correct the error.
The chapter headed "Consider the Lilies" was for the most part published some time ago in another form.
MARK GUY PEARSE.
