sic by Prof. Sleeper of Smith College.
These poems should not be allowed by neglect to pass out of the
possession of modern children.

It is hoped that this volume will go far toward solving the problem of
Sunday afternoon occupation for children, and will meet the constant
demand for such a collection of religious literature.
