“There is a very long jump in what we may call the evolution of juvenile literature. There is one field, however, and that the one which this volume tries to cover, which strangely enough seems to have been almost neglected. Of "goody-goody" Sunday School library books of an old-fashioned type, which are insipid and lacking both in virility of thought and literary form, there are, alas, already too many. What we need is something to take their place, something which will furnish real literature, and yet which from subject matter and manner of handling is specially adapted to what I still like to call Sunday reading, a phrase which unfortunately seems to mean little to most people to-day. Bearing this in mind, it is the purpose of this book to gather together such religious classics as are specially fitted to interest and uplift young people. There is a wide variety in so far as subject matter, but a certain unity is given to the contents of the volume by the religious note, which, whether brought prominently forward or not, is found alike in all the selections.” -Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr. CONTENTS: THE LIFE OF ADAM HERE BEGINNETH THE HISTORY OF NOAH THE RAINBOW HERE FOLLOWETH THE LIFE OF ABRAHAM HERE BEGINNETH THE LIFE OF ISAAC, WITH THE HISTORY OF ESAU AND OF JACOB HERE BEGINNETH THE HISTORY OF JOSEPH AND HIS BRETHREN HERE NEXT FOLLOWETH THE HISTORY OF MOSES THE BURIAL OF MOSES THE HISTORY OF JOSHUA THE HISTORY OF SAUL THE HISTORY OF DAVID THE SONG OF DAVID THE STORY OF A CUP OF WATER THE HISTORY OF SOLOMON THE HISTORY OF REHOBOAM A LITTLE MAID HERE FOLLOWETH THE HISTORY OF JOB THE DESTRUCTION OF SENNACHERIB HERE FOLLOWETH THE HISTORY OF TOBIT HERE BEGINNETH THE STORY OF JUDITH THE VISION OF BELSHAZZAR A CHRISTMAS CAROL ON THE MORNING OF CHRIST'S NATIVITY THE BURNING BABE A CRADLE SONG EASTER THE LIFE OF ST.
