BOOKS WORTH WHILE
By Editor
For Your Summer's Reading
The following inexpensive, attractive books of "The Young People's Library" will entertain you by the hour while adding greatly to your store of knowledge.
Native Life in India
This land is noted for its dense population. One of the most striking peculiarities of Hindu society is its division into castes — priests, military, merchants, bankers, traders, agriculturists, artisans, shepherds, etc. Of the manners, customs, dress, religions, and general characteristics of these millions of people, and of their attitude toward Christianity, Mr. Henry Rice, preacher and teacher, writes. This is most intensely interesting and educational.
Martin Luther
"Happily," says the introduction to this biography, "there is abundant material for acquainting ourselves with the entire life of Martin Luther. From his birth to his death the story is complete." This story is written for the young people. Some of the chapters are: "His Parentage and Youth," "At the University of Erfurt," "As a Monk," "As a Priest," "The Look into Rome," "The Sale of Indulgences," "The Ninety-Five Theses," "Before the Legate," "Diet of Worms."
John of Wycliffe
How few young people really know more of John of Wycliffe than that he was the "Morning Star of the Reformation"! His entire life was molded by his surroundings in youth, his leaving the monastic school and entering Oxford before the age of twenty, his seven years of study and contact with the Holy Scriptures there. Of all this, and later of his break with Rome and the mighty work he accomplished, this thrilling biographical sketch tells our young people.
Savonarola
A few years before the birth of Martin Luther, Italy was stirred by the preaching of Girolamo Savonarola. This sketch tells of his early education and his study of the works of Aquinas; of his piety, which led him to enter the monastery at Bologna; of later missions; and, finally, of his faith in the Word of God, and the revelations concerning what should befall Italy, and their fulfilment. His fearless proclamation of the truth brought on opposition and resulted in his being martyred in 1498.
Two Cannibal Archipelagoes
Traveling 600 miles westward from Fiji you would reach New Hebrides, inhabited by 250,000 people, made up of tribes, and ruled principally by chieftains. You approach Tanna, where, if it be night, you see the light of the great volcano Yasur. Of this island the captain tells you that more white men have here lost their lives than on any other island in the South Pacific. This book gives an interesting account of the New Hebrides, also of the Solomon Islands, and refers to the efforts to establish missions.
Two Cannibal Archipelagoes
Life on the Congo
In this description of the great Congo River Basin — Africa — with its one million and fifty thousand square miles, and its six races of people, the reader will figuratively find himself lost to the world. A chapter on "Home Life" brings in the peculiar customs, the domestic activities, marriage, trading, dress, etc. "Religious Ideas," "Cannibalism," "Free Masonry and Charms," and "Missions" are other chapters of intense interest.
Left With a Trust
In this excellent story Mr. Grainger gathers his family around him in their London home before leaving for a year's work in Sydney, Australia. He leaves a "trust" with each one of the nine children concerning how they shall work with mother and lighten her cares during his long absence. How these trusts were carried out, the mistakes that were made, and the victories gained in the experience during the year, is most interesting. At the happy reunion around the fireside these are recounted to father, and thanks are given to the heavenly Father for His care returned. A beautiful family story.
Jack the Conqueror
Thousands of boys and girls and young men and women have been inspired, by the perseverance of Jack the conqueror, to work steadily forward undaunted by difficulties. An orphan boy, cared for by an ill-natured aunt, Jack didn't have much encouragement aside from his own purpose. He gathered willow twigs and made and sold baskets to pay his way to school; finally was graduated, and became an instructor. This story will fire you with ambition to overcome difficulties.
