The
Awakening OF
Helena Richie

"The reason Why so many :
novelists leave God out OF their
Stories says qbs Lsdepen6sst rev.
erently, "is because they cannot
achieve Q much as Mrs. Deland.
Readers of this story will sec that
here at least it is possible to touch
the hem. of His garment"
Greater praise than this a novel
cannot have. The story might
be called the "story Of a pure
woman" just as the story Of TsJS
was so called, for in spite of her
frailty Helena Richie remains the
type Of woman that men have
loved always and always will love,
the type which all good women
know to be at heart unde6led.
As for the boy David, if ever
there was a real boy he is one,
not namby- PANTY, not over low
ing, not goody-goody, hardly
good-just a healthy animal boy,
but after all the kind one has in
mind when one reads that "a
LITTLE child shall lead them" And
il is he who leads Helena cut OF
