Book Description
Excerpt from Children of Other Lands When you have been playing in the hot sun, nothing tastes quite so good as a. Drink of cold water. Ahmed and Hada live in a country far, far hotter than ours. Yet when they are thirsty they can have only a sip of luke-warm water from a goat-skin. To reach the 'near est well, they must travel miles and miles over the burning sands. This hot dry land where they live is called Arabia. The sea touches it for four thousand miles, but fresh water is very, very scarce. Arabia has almost no rivers except some which run underground. In some parts of Arabia rain seldom falls, and even the ocean breezes that blow across this big neck of land in western Asia are warm and dry. You wonder why anyone chooses to live in such a place, but about five million people do live there. Some of the people live in villages in houses of sun-dried brick, but many have no home but a tent. Ahmed and Hada live in a tent made of goat-skin. It is broad and low and has two rooms, one for Hada and her mother, and the other for Ahmed and his father. Sometimes Ahmed's beautiful horse, Selim, wanders into the tent too, and makes himself quite at home. Ahmed's father Hassan, owns many horses. They are smaller than our horses, but beautifully formed. They can travel a long time with out needing a drink. The Arabs are very fond of their horses and treat them like members of the family. Ahmed does not always ride on his horse. Sometimes he rides on a camel. Although Father Hassan has no house, he is a rich man. He owns many camels besides his horses and flocks of sheep and goats. He is a chief, too, which means that he rules over his tribe. But how can Father Hassan's animals get enough to eat in so dry and sandy a country? This is the reason. Arabia is not all desert. There are green spots here and there where the cattle can graze. When they have eaten the grass in these places, the family must move on.

Excerpt from Mission Stories of Many Lands: A Book for Young People; With Three Hundred and Forty Illustrations In reissuing these stories it has seemed best, while revising the statements of facts so as to bring them down to date, not to omit or to alter materially certain articles which were written while events, now long past, were transpiring. Of this class we may mention some of the papers about Africa, and especially the reports sent year by year from the Morning Star, describing the successive voyages of the children's missionary vessel. In these cases the year in which the article was originally printed is given at its heading. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Children's Missionary Story-Sermons It was Victor Hugo who said that the Eighteenth Century distinguished itself by the discovery of Man, but the glory of the Nineteenth Century was the discovery of Woman. Were he among us to-day he would complete his interpretation of history by saying that the Twentieth Century belongs to the Child. This is the Children's Century. Anything, therefore, that will help the children find their place in the coming work of the world is worth while, and what work can compare with that of winning the world for Christ? It was to interest children, first in the wonderful lives of the missionaries themselves, and then in their great work - the greatest work in the world - that these Story-Sermons were written. They grew out of a felt need in my own church work. Leaders of Mission Bands and Lightbearer Circles and teachers of Sunday-school classes were at a loss to discover a method of approach to the missionary problem.

Book Description
Excerpt from Mission Work Among the Negroes and the Indians: What Is Being Accomplished by Means of the Annual Collection Taken Up for Our Missions The Church, which to thc Catholic, is the voice of God, wishes you to put in the hands of the self denying workers in that rougher portion of the Lord's vineyard, the funds they need to carry on the work they have in hand. These holy missionaries would carry the glad tidings of salvation to the benighted children of the forest. They would plant in their midst schools In which young Indian boys and girls may be trained in civil learning; and churches into which all may be gathered round the altar of God, and taught to know and worship ln spirit and in truth Jesus Christ, their Redeemer, whose children they are, and, equally with us, heirs of eternal life. Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven It IS the humility and the meekness of Jesus that IS to Wln for us the great prize of eternal life for which each one, in his own way, is daily striving. Blessed are the meek, for they Shall possess the land. It IS the beauty of our soul not the color of our Skin that will be the Ieal test of our right to gaze upon the glory of God In paradise. Blessed are the clean of heart, for they Shall see God. Such then, in brief, 15 the object for which this collection IS tobe taken up at all the Masses on the First Sunday In Lent - a noble and a blessed work, and full of richest merit for all who approach it in the Spirit of Christian charity, and with kindly feelings toward those of their brethren, who, as you know too well, are utterly unable to help themselves. The heroic self abnegation of those priests and nuns who have gone forth into a sort of voluntary exile to spend themselves and be spent for Christ In the service of the forsaken and despised Indian, whose lot, to some extent, they share, is worthy of our highest admiration; for this, Dearly beloved, is not a field of labor which all would willingly select this life of perpetual self Sacrifice, ending only in death. The very nobility of the sacrifice they have made is in itself one of their strongest claims on your generous support, for (do not forget it), but for this their heroic self denial, you would not easily find a means of discharging a debt you owe a race which for two long centuries has been so cruelly dealt with f - a race, too, that has proved itself time and again, in council and on battle field, as brave, as skillful, and as magnanimous as your own. And. Yet, to our Shame, be it spoken, nearly all that are left of this Singular, and in some respects, mysterious people, are now. Wanderers upon the wild prairie, eking out, as best they can, a miserable existence on the paltry pittance that is doled out to them, and are to day, practically speaking, as destitute of religious instructions as were their pagan forefathers. Oh! Dearly Beloved, what a commentary is this sad spectacle on the boasted superiority of our Christian civilization! Take heed, lest Christ' S words on witnessing the faith of the centurion, and the. Want of it on the part of those to whom He was Speaking, may one day rise up in judgment against you: I say to you that many Shall come from the East and the West, and Shall Sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob In the kingdom of heaven, but the children of the kingdom Shall be cast out into exterior da1 kness there Shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
