The Evansville daily journal. (Evansville, Ind.) 1870-1875, 1870-12-24

struggle of good and evil in us is
skillfully drawn. 1t is one of the few
hctions in which the love-story por-
ton is quite unnecessary for the ma
iority of readers. Good and evil with
in us, and quiet pictures Of New Eng
land farm and parish life are attrac-
tons sufficient to insure it 8 wide
circulation.
This work was first published in the
Hartford ChHrchn1aB, one Of the lead
ing Episcopalian papers in this eOun-
try. 1t is fully as appropriate to this
section as to the East, aud can be
read with profit by many in this
Diocese.
The organization and sayings of the
Sewing Society; call of the new min
lister; the struggle to support the Sun
day School, and the efforts Of some to
hinder in every way they can the
work of the minister, unless he will
coincide with them, hits very hard
some of our western congregations.
It il q book we'll worth reading and
one calculated to do good.
