Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of Missions: Inside Views of Life and Labor, Land of Ararat Miss West has asked me to write an introduction to this record of missionary life and work in the East. If her written words touch hearts in America, as I have seen her spoken words move educated women among us, and a company of poor mothers in the East of London, they will need no introduction from any one. But a few words of most reverent and affectionate sympathy with the noble Christian work of American missionaries in the East, I feel it a delight and an honor to have an opportunity of giving.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bells of Capistrano: A Romance of the California Missions Go there by moonlight, almost any season, There is no winter in that golden climate, Where blooms the rose in April or December. There by the waters of the great Pacific, Its back upon the mountain and the desert, Stands the old ruin, silent in the moonlight.

Download or read book Claudio and Anita written by Maria S. Lopez de Cummings and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Claudio and Anita: A Historical Romance of San Gabriel's Early Mission Days The pages of this book will tell a story of old San Gabriel. It is a true tale, and therefore the more alluring and fascinating because it is still the fact that "truth is stranger than fiction." But it still remains true, also, that it is a high and great art to clothe truth in that shining garb which fiction has immemorially worn to attract lovers to her train. And you will find when you have read this story that Mrs. Cummings is a new master of that old art of clothing truth in fiction's shining garb. San Gabriel is a place in the world about which romance clusters as the tendrils of a vine cluster upon an ancient wall. From the very beginning of the white man's occupation of California it was a busy and important place. It was the place where the fourth link of the chain of great Franciscan Missions in California was forged, and it's Mission came to be known as the "Queen of the Missions." It was the place where the fourth link of the chain of great Franciscan Missions in California was forged, and it's Mission came to be known as the Queen of the Missions. It was a great place indeed that San Gabriel came to be. In the Mission days it was noted for both its great achievements and it's tireless hospitality. Travellers who made their names immortal entered its sunny portals and were sheltered under it's rafters.

For a portion of the material used in the prologue, he is indebted to Mr. Parkman, whose learned and graceful pen is still, as heretofore, engaged in "Tingeing the sober twilight of the present, With color of romance;" also to Mr. S. A. Drake's charming book, Nooks and Corners of the New England Coast, which should be the vade mecum of all sojourners in those regions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Voice From Abroad, or Thoughts on Missions: From a Missionary to His Classmates There is no romance in the practical and every. Day duties of a missronary. The work is of a humble form, and emphatically toilsome. There isbut very little true missionary Spirit in the world for it is not the sympathy of an hour, nor enthusiasm awakened, by feelings of to mance, but, the pure love of Christ in the soul, con straining the possessor to pray earnestly. And to labor cheerfully without notice or applause, for the lowest human objects; and which finds a rich and sufficient reward for a life of toil, in leading one ignorant slave, one degraded outcast, or one vile and beastly heathen.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Garden of Lies: A Romance To maintain that a man's character is determined for good or ill by the circumstances chance throws in his way, by the gay or sorry tricks fate plays him, has ever seemed to me a folly. Yet so von Altdorf maintained most strenuously as we sat, last evening and late into the night, on the terrasse of one of those thronged and gayly lighted cafes along the old Boulevard St. Michel - "La Source" it was - and talked of the great game that we had tried to play, long since, and of how the game was taken out of our hands by greater hands and played to so strange an end. "Else why," demanded von Altdorf pursuing his argument, "why did Denis Mallory happen into the Cafe d'Alencon on that particular evening of all evenings? Why did he not pass by and - end his days in the grave of a drunkard and blackguard? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
