Sabbath Readings for the Home Circle [choice Readings for the Home Circle] M.a. Vroman

Originally published in 1905 as Choice Readings For The Home Circle, this newly issued reprint is a collection of stories and poems by M. A. Vroman and is considered one of the cornerstones of inspirational literature so popular among turn-of-the-century readers. Part of a trend of inexpensive prayer books published for "the family circle," this volume contains "best lessons" in order to instill values in the young such as obedience to one's parents; kindness and affection toward brothers, sisters and friends; compassion for the poor; and the necessity for daily observance of the Gospel. These virtuous, if high-minded, stories contain indispensable principles for those interested in moral and religious parables of early 20th-century literature.
