Christopher, and The Seven Sleepers of Ephesus, retold for the

The stories are true examples of Indian folk-lore and are very

correct for each tribe.--_Foreword._

These traditions of various tribes were gathered from the best
sources, and are here related in simple language. There is a

BLAISDELL, E.W.
*The Animals at the Fair.
Russell. 1.40

Mr. Blaisdell's attractive and amusing illustrations may well serve as
a substitute for the ordinary comic pictures of the newspapers.

WHITTIER, J.G. (Editor).
Child-Life.
Houghton. 1.50

Although thirty-seven years have passed since Child-Life was compiled,
it stands now, as then, far ahead of most collections of poetry for
American children. Our own poets are well represented.

RELIGION AND ETHICS

Loving Jesus, meek and mild,
Look upon a little child!

Make me gentle as Thou art,
Come and live within my heart.

Take my childish hand in thine, (p. 55)
Guide these little feet of mine.

So shall all my happy days
Sing their pleasant song of praise.
CHARLES WESLEY.
