An Excerpt:
“THOU shalt never listen to the rogue again!”
“But, father——”
“Silence, girl! Have I not said it? Thou shalt never go to hear him preach again! He is a pestilent knave. He will bring all who hear him to trouble. Dost hear me, girl? Thou shalt not go!”
“Nay, but, sweet father!”
“Silence!” thundered the angry man. “I have spoken; let that be enough. Thou shalt have no more of this preaching dinned into thine ears, and neither will I. Thou shalt never hear Mr. Bunyan again. He has done harm enough already.”
Agnes was absolutely aghast at this sudden outbreak, for which she was totally unprepared. She and her father had for some while been attending with great interest and profit the teachings and preachings of the notable Puritan, John Bunyan, whose wonderful personal experiences brought home to his hearers a sense of reality which was often lacking in other teachers.

First Impressions of God (or, Emily Tappan’s story)
$6.00“I don’t believe mother knows that there is a God,” said Emily Tappan as she ran in from the garden. “I’m sure she doesn’t know or she would have told us all about it. Well, I’ll just go and tell her.”
Blushing and almost breathless over the importance of her thought, she exclaimed, “Oh, Mother, there is a God. Mary Lewis told me so. And oh, he is so great! Greater than this house, greater than the tall trees, greater than everything, and I thought you would be glad to know it. I was so glad, and yet it made me afraid.”

The Dairyman’s Daughter (Legh Richmond)
$7.00One of the 19th century’s most well-read stories for girls. Over three (3) million copies sold before 1900. Read this once and you’ll wonder why you never heard this story before. Told by her pastor, Legh Richmond, it’s the story of young Elizabeth Wallbridge, who came to be known as “The Dairyman’s Daughter.”
A child of a poor dairy farmer in England, Richmond met Elizabeth in 1798 upon his arrival as the new minister on the Isle of Wight. He learned from her of a proud past in which she forsook all love of her family, but then of the sweet love of Christ which was formed in her and the shining testimony she became as a witness for Him with her holy life. Richmond regarded Elizabeth as “one of the best-versed persons in the Scriptures” whom he had ever met and considered meeting her one of the highest privileges of his life.
