THE BASKET OF FLOWERS; OR, PIETY AND TRUTH TRIUMPHANT. EDITED BY G. T. BEDELL, D.D. EDINBURGH: JAMES GEMMELL, GEORGE IV. BRIDGE. 1882. 1489.f.444 INTRODUCTION. THE following beautiful and useful story was first read in French, and the idea suggested itself to my mind, that with some alterations, to make it convey lessons of clear and decided evangelical truth, it would be a very interesting little work for the libraries of Sunday Schools, and every variety of youthful readers. The story is very touching, and the lessons taught are most useful and important. I have never read lessons of practical piety drawn with more simplicity from the beauties of nature than they are in this little book. Indeed, in almost every chapter we find, addresscd to the yonthful heart, sermons whose texts are the flowers of the garden. G. T. B. |
