This Is remarkable book. It "a a story
written with purpose, and the purpose is to
call attention to the lives of those around u.s.
that we may live that true life which helps US
most by sympathy and help to those who need
it. The heroine is noble young woman, of a
rich, loving nature, and strong desire to be
of use to her struggling fellow creatures, and
in the development of her plan of life there is
woven a most delightful love-story, in which
she gains husband entirely worthy of her.
The book is well-written, and sustains an un-
tagging interest throughout.
