Excerpt from Masterpieces of the World's Best LiteratureNto many this seemeth a hard Speech, Deny thyself, take up thy cross, and follow J ssus.But much harder will it be to hear that last word, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire.For they who now willingly hear and follow the word of the cross, shall not then fear to hear the sentence of everlasting damnation.This sign of the cross shall be in the heaven, when the Lord shall come to judgment.Then all the servants of the cross, who in their lifetime conformed themselves unto Christ crucified, shall draw near unto Christ the judge with great confidence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Tomboy at WorkMen must work and women must weep was a line that was quoted to me every time 'i expressed a determination to make rry own living, and, incidentally, that of others. A stupid line, I thought it. Why should men have all the fun of working, while the women stayed at home and wept? The sentiment did not appeal to me at all.
