Barnett, T. Ratcliffe. Blessed ministry of childhood. *50c. West. Meth. bk.

The lessons that a little child can teach to “scholars of the heart rather than to the scholar of the head—to wayfaring men and women ... who look out upon life with wistful eyes, desiring to know God, to win goodness, and to learn patience amid the shadows.”

Barr, Martin W. King of Thomond. †$1.25. Turner, H. B.

7–14249.

The pitiful tale of an insane patient’s life written by herself during her perfectly lucid moments. A joyless childhood, a lonely girlhood, and the speedy wrecking of the happiness that finally dawned for her, produce a wail on every page. It forms an intense human document.


“A weird tale, apparently half in and half out of the region of reality. It is quite as fantastic and as full of creepy horrors as such a tale might be expected to be.”
