A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Bible Readings which, from time to time, have appeared in the press, together with a large number kindly furnished by their authors. We have been obliged, for the sake of brevity, to omit, in many, much which might profitably have been given, and confined ourselves to the titles, topics, divisions and Scripture references. The selections have been made to cover as large a range of subjects as possible, and give diversity of arrangement rather than exhaustive treatment. It is hoped they may be useful in preparation for gospel services and an especial incentive to the personal study of the Bible. God s Word is a world in itself vast and full of variety. It is resplendent with truths that shine like stars in the heavens. A universe of truth is brought before us in this one great volume. We should study the Bible as spiritually-minded searchers after spiritual strength ;as invalids searching for health; as the Jewish refugee sought the refuge city; as the lost and hungry child seeks its mother; as the mother seeks her lost child patiently, hungrily, perseveringly, prayerfully, with head and hand and heart, in winter and in summer. They who thus search the words of revelation to find what there is in them to feed thought and affection, and to strengthen life lo !all such are sure to find. Rev. J. H. Vincent, D. DM in Biblical Exploration.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Between 1854 and 1930, more than 200,000 orphaned or abandoned children were sent west on orphan trains to find new homes. Some were adopted by loving families; others were not as fortunate. In recent years, some of the riders have begun to share their stories. Andrea Warren alternates chapters about the history of the orphan trains with the story of Lee Nailling, who in 1926 rode an orphan train to Texas when he was nine years old.
