arm. Those
who love birds and stretches of green meadow, glimpses of lordly and
high hills, the soil and the sincere life lived on it, will find here a
genuine delight.
Above all is the interest in the preachers themselves. "There were
giants in those days, and for the most part our ministers were good and
noble men. Of their goodness and sincerity these annals bear witness!"

Christine
By ALICE CHOLMONDELEY
_Cloth, 12mo., $1.25_
"A book which is true in essentials--so real that one is tempted to
doubt whether it is fiction at all--doubly welcome and doubly
important.... It would be difficult indeed to find a book in which the
state of mind of the German people is pictured so cleverly, with so much
understanding and convincing detail.... Intelligent, generous,
sweet-natured, broadminded, quick to see and to appreciate all that is
beautiful either in nature or in art, rejoicing humbly over her own
great gift, endowed with a keen sense of humour, Christine's is a
thoroughly wholesome and lovable character. But charming as Christine's
personality and her literary style both are, the main value of the book
lies in its admirably lucid analysis of the German mind."--_New York
Times._
"Absolutely different from preceding books of the war. Its very freedom
and girlishness of expression, its very simplicity and open-heartedness,
prove the truth of its pictures."--_New York World._
"A luminous story of a sensitive and generous nature, the spontaneous
expression of one spirited, affectionate, ardently ambitious, and
blessed with a sense of humour."--_Boston Herald._
"The next time some sentimental old lady of either sex, who 'can't see
why we have to send our boys abroad,' comes into your vision, and you
know they are too unintelligent (they usually are) to understand a
serious essay, try to trap them into reading 'Christine.' If you succeed
we know it will do them good."--_Town and Country._
