I' F this little book has a message, it is to the effect that there is no line of cleavage between the secular and the sacred in the Christian life; but that all life, from the highest spiritual exaltation to the smallest familiar detail, is a beautiful and rounded whole under our Father's care. If TWILIGHT TALES has any philosophy to preach, it may be summed up in the poet Whittier's exquisite stanzas : I know not where His islands lift I only know I cannot drift Beyond His love and care. I know not what the future hath Assured alone that life or death Most of these tales are by the way of friendly talk with people that I love. Some of them are sketches drawn from scenes in real life. My thought is that for the daily loaf on the table and the flowers in the garden, the toil and the task, the music and the song, the joy of love, the wife's kiss, the child's prattle and the strength that comes to us in communion with God, we should alike lift our continual thanksgiving. So this volume goes forth—a friendly book for old and young. Margaret E. Sangster 35X514 |
