Author Description

Excerpt from The Basket Makers, Vol. 1 of 2 One fine summer's afternoon, a Sundayw school teacher was returning from a neighbour ing village, where he had been instructing his class. He was one who enjoyed aright the scenes of nature, because he had learnt to view them in the light of God's holy word. The va tious objects he met with were made occasions of recalling to his mind passages of Scripture by which they were improved. Thus a serious and devotional spirit was cultivated, and the mind brought into a pleasing state of prepara tion for the services of the sanctuary, which he' usually attended in the evening, having sacri ficed his own privileges in the afternoon, in orr der to promote the best interests of poor chil dren.
