How differently people view life, society, and religion, depending on their perspective! Perry, the often sick young man that is learning to follow his Master; Eunice (Una), as close as a sister to Perry but not a Christian; Eleanor, the selfish socialite; and Tom, Eleanor's earnestly Christian brother, form the core of this story of life, love, marriage, and service.

Characteristics of the peoples and environment of the earliest stages of America. - Summary by Jim Locke<br><br> <b>Group:</b> <a href="https://librivox.org/group/609">Chronicles of America Series</a>

This story is an honest record of what we, who are all writers, and all very intimate friends, have seen and heard as we looked on at the lives of certain people in whom we are deeply interested. We used to talk about these people when we sat together after the day's work was done.<br /><br />"They don't understand one another," said one of the ministers, "else there wouldn't be much trouble."<br /><br />"I think the little girl means better than she is supposed to," said Grace.<br /><br />"And I know the two boys are not half so mean as they are made out to be," declared Paranete.<br /><br />"They are like a great many people in this world," interposed the other minister, "working at cross purposes; making failures of their lives, just because they do not try to put themselves in one another's places."<br /><br />"Making failures, also, because they are trying to carry their own burdens without the help of the only real Helper," said one of the ladies. <br /><br />"O, yes! of course," spoke out both ministers; "that is really the foundation source of their troubles, as of most others." <br /><br />Said Faye Huntington: "Let's write a book about them! One that will help others, as well as them. We can tell their story, but tell it in such a way that they won't even recognize themselves; they will only know that it fits, somehow, and helps."

This book presents the science of geography one step further than just the physical features of the earth's surface. The relationship between the level of civilization and the geography of the climate is analysed and presented with comparative maps spanning the whole world. The distribution of human achievement such as education, industry, and level of civil development are all scrutinised under seasonal changes, and a variety of variety of climatic and geographic factors that has subtly shaped human destiny. - Summary by leon harvey

Short stories and sketches all relating in some way to temperance and advocating for prohibition. Each story looks at a different facet of the issue. It is presumably children's literature, but most of it would not be understood by the younger set. I recommend pre-teens and older for these stories. - Summary by TriciaG

Short stories for the young and young-at-heart. Included are a family with an overly-strict father and free-spirited daughter; a series of "just happened" circumstances (orchestrated by God, of course); a reminiscence of two poor medical students; a moral dilemma placed before a minister; and a few short pieces about various children, each with its moral lesson. (Summary by TriciaG)<br><br>Note that "Dr. Deane's Way" ends abruptly, with the feeling that it's an incomplete story. There are, in fact, only the four chapters.

A collection of short stories by Pansy, Rev. C.M. Livingston, and other authors. The first eleven stories are about Mary Burton, who, although she is unable to go to Europe like her cousin, decides to visit Britain through books and write letters to her friend of her "travels". - Summary by TriciaG

Every important aspect of human knowledge must be considered in its relation to both space and time. In "Civilization and Climate" the problem of the effect of physical environment upon human progress was discussed in its relation to space. It was shown that the distribution of civilization upon the earth's surface is closely in harmony with the distribution of climatic energy, which appears to be the most important factor in physical environment. In the present volume the same problem is considered in its relation to time. Beginning with the present day we find that from year to year business activities vary in extraordinary harmony with health. Further study shows that variations in health from year to year depend upon the weather far more than upon any other single factor. - Summary by Ellsworth Huntington
