"Miss Holt's Tales of English Life in the Olden Time form a very valuable course of reading. We do not know one of her stories which does not deserve high commendation on account of its own intrinsic interest, and also because of the sound Protestant principles by which it is animated."-Record.

"It would be a good thing for the sons and daughters of England to become acquainted with such reading as we find in the writings of this gifted authoress. We wish these volumes could be placed in every Sundayschool library and every Protestant home."-Evening Hours.

"Let's sing Pres' favorite; maybe he's thinking about it now."

So they sang "We are out on the ocean, sailing," and went through it bravely, though mother's voice failed entirely there. Something in the words, and in the lively tune connected with them, had always pleased Preston, and he had generally chosen to sing it, at such times.

And, after the singing, when they said their good-nights, and separated, I think not one of them, even little Will, forgot to kneel and pray for Pres, to the great Ruler of the ocean, that he might be kept in safety through all perils, and brought home to them again. And I know that He who holds the waters in the hollow of His hand listened to the prayers, for He is a gracious and merciful God.

Sydney lingered in mother's room after the other boys had gone.

[ocr errors]

Mother," said he, "wouldn't it be better for me to stay at home with you now? It seems lonelier than ever, now that Pres is gone, and I think perhaps I had better not go away."

"Thank you, for being so thoughtful, my boy; but I do not think we ought to keep you at home. We shall try to be brave and cheerful, and it will not be long before your term will close. Then, too, we shall hope to hear something from father, soon, and

that will help us. No, go on with
your studies, and be my faithful, brave
son. And, Sydney,".
"Yes, mother.'

"Remember, the waves of temptation will come to you all, as they came to Preston. Oh, take the strong Saviour in to help you!"

He could scarcely keep back the tears, at her earnest entreaty, and his lip quivered a little as he answered, "Yes, mother, I'll remember."-From "The Boy's Watchword," page 183, cloth, 35. 6d.
