services to our country at a time of dire need. Many illustrations add
to the book's value.

Stories of the Saints.

"And as those of us who are men and women look with reverent and
smiling interest upon the outgrown garments, and books, and toys,
of our childhood, even so I think must Christendom ever look upon
these outgrown beliefs of an earlier day. There is not one of the
stories we can yet afford to lose. For we find, as we arrange the
allegory and romance, and the real, historic bits, in a way to
suit our wiser time, that the lessons they hold are as true for
us as they were for the childlike people who cherished them a
thousand years ago."
The lives and legends of Saint George, Saint Denis, Saint Nicholas,
Saint Elizabeth, and others less well known in the great brotherhood
of all lands, are told with dignity and simplicity. The (p. 117)
illustrations are taken from old pictures.
