Every Story Contains an Important Lesson
The stories in this book were compiled from a four volume set titled, Sabbath Readings. The stories were originally gathered from church papers in the 1870's, Methodists, Lutheran, Presbyterian, etc. We bring to you this 1910 reproduction, which is when the stories were first illustrated. We have found the stories to be truly a breath of fresh air in literature for children and youth. May they receive a warm welcome in your home is our prayer.
