This is the explanation of their marvellous popularity; and the explanation itself is explained by the fact that Mrs. Alden derives the inspiration for all of her work from a cheerful, living, trustful faith in the Master to whose service she consecrates her best efforts. _Illustrated, 12mo_, $1.50.
