Excerpt:“Seems to me, Rob, I ought to know that old tub of a motorboat we’re overhauling.”“Why, yes, Andy, it’s Captain Jerry Martin’s Sea Gull. Time was when she had a reputation for speed, but her engine is a back number now.”“Huh! that must have been away in Noah’s time, I reckon, Rob. Why, we could make circles around her, if we chose to drive our little Tramp to the limit.”“As we happen to be in no hurry to-day, there’s no use making the old skipper feel that his boat is down and out. With vacation opening up before us, I’ve been trying to settle on some scheme for the scouts of the Eagle Patrol to have a rousing good time this summer.”[6]“Well, I know where I’d be if I had the cold cash to pay my expenses; and, Rob, chances are you feel the same way about it.”

In the little volume called The Famous Men of Rome you have read about the great empire which the Romans established. Now we come to a time when the power of Rome was broken and tribes of barbarians who lived north of the Danube and the Rhine took possession of lands that had been part of the Roman Empire. These tribes were the Goths, Vandals, Huns, Franks and Anglo-Saxons. From them have come the greatest nations of modern times. All except the Huns belonged to the same race and are known as Teutons. They were war-like, savage and cruel. They spoke the same language—though in different dialects—and worshiped the same gods. Like the old Greeks and Romans they had many gods.

Observe the agreement of sentiment in the following texts: St. James, taught by his Lord and Master, says, " Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." St. Paul nearly in the same words, "Not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified."3 Again, did we not know whence the following passages come, should we not assign them to St. James?" God will render to every man according to his deeds; to them, who by patient continuance in well-doing, seek for glory, and honour, and immortality, eternal life; but unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation, and wrath.... for there is no respect of persons with God." This, as well as the text just cited, is to be found in the opening of that Epistle, in which St. Paul appears most to differ from St. James; now observe how he closes it. "Why dost thou judge thy brother? And why dost thou set at nought thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of Christ.... Every one of us shall give account of himself to God." Again, in 1 John xviii. 37. 2 1 Tim. vi. 13. 2 Cor. ii. 16. 2 Tim. iii. 13. 3 James i. 22. Rom. ii. 13. another Epistle: "We must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men."1 13. St. John, after our Lord's example, implies especial praise upon those who follow an unmarried life, involving the letter in the spirit, as is freque...

The Bungalow Boys in the Great Northwest by John Henry GoldfrapJohn Henry Goldfrap (1879 – November 21, 1917) was a North American journalist and author of boys' books, participating in the "American series phenomenon." He always wrote under pseudonyms.CHAPTER I. - IN THE VALLEY.Turning over his morning mail, which Jared Fogg had just brought into the little Maine valley, Mr. Chisholm Dacre, the Bungalow Boys’ uncle, came across a letter that caused him to pucker up his lips and emit an astonished whistle through his crisp, gray beard. A perplexed look showed on his sun-burned face. Turning back to the first page, he began to read the closely written epistle over once more.Evidently there was something in it that caused Mr. Dacre considerable astonishment. His reading of the missive was not quite completed, however, when the sudden sound of fresh, young voices caused him to glance upward.Skimming across the deep little lake stretched in front of the bungalow came a green canoe. It contained two occupants, a pair of bright-faced lads, blue-eyed and wavy-haired. Their likeness left no doubt that they were brothers. In khaki trousers and canoeing caps, with the sleeves of their gray flannel shirts rolled up above the elbow exposing the tan of healthy muscular flesh, they were as likely a looking couple of lads as you would have run across in a muster-roll of the vigorous, clean-limbed youth of America. Regular out-of-door chaps, they. You couldn’t have helped taking an immediate liking to Tom Dacre and his young brother Jack if you had stood beside Mr. Dacre that bright morning in early summer and watched the lightly fashioned craft skimming across the water, its flashing paddles wielded by the aforesaid lusty young arms.“Well, who would think to look at those two lads that they had but recently undergone such an experience as being marooned in the Tropics?” murmured Mr. Dacre to himself, as he watched his two nephews draw nearer.There was a fond and proud light in his eyes as they dwelt on his sturdy young relatives. In his mind he ran over once more the stirring incidents in which they had all three participated in the Bahamas, and which were fully related in a previous volume of this series—“The Bungalow Boys Marooned in the Tropics.”

The Western Trail is the first of a trilogy of books that depict the long journey of a young man who graduated from West Point at the beginning of the Civil War. Before he was to go to his newly assigned post, he wanted to see his parents at the home farm. Upon arriving there, he found them murdered by Union soldiers for no apparent reason. This set into motion his giving up his commission and joining the Confederate army. At the end of the war he had no place to return to, so he decided to head West to start life anew. Several of his men went with him as they had no homes to return to either. He started his journey on The Western Trail by hiding on a steamship bound for Texas. They worked on various ranches in Texas, but he grew weary and wanted to seek out his own way of living in the West. This book details his journey clear to the Pacific Ocean and back to a place he sought to call home. He found it by accident and luck, and also discovered a cache of gold, worth much more than he had ever seen. It led him to find a hidden valley, with high cliffs, that were home to ancient cliff dwellings and a large lush valley, perfect for him to settle into. The Western Trail tells his story in his own words, the hardships, the hard work to survive in such a harsh land and how he overcame all that he faced and carved out an empire that would endure.
