Crane (1861-1928) was a Presbyterian minister. A popular
newspaper columnist around the turn of the 20th Century, Crane published 10
volumes of his Four Minute Essays in 1919. He published a longer book,
Everyday Wisdom, in 1927, with thought-a-day essays and "52 Little Talks
on How to Live" - one for every week of the year, if you wanted. His writings
were characterized by positive thinking and a populist political philosophy.
