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!" THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Publishers 64-66 Fifth Avenue New York 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._ THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Publishers 64-66 Fifth Avenue New York End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Record of a Quaker Conscience, Cyrus Pringle's Diary, by Cyrus Pringle *** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE RECORD OF A QUAKER *** ***** This file should be named 16088.txt or 16088.zip ***** This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.org/1/6/0/8/16088/ Produced by Mark
