Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Aunt Janet´s Legacy to Her Nieces: Recollections of Humble Life in Yarrow in the Beginning of the Century The Author of these Recollections had no thought while writing them of their appearing in any other form than in manuscript, or being read outside the circle of her own relatives and friends, to whom she thought they might be interesting and helpful. "Aunt Janet" can now look back over a life of fourscore years and more. She was taught in her earliest youth to fear God, and all along she has been impressed with the feeling that His beneficent power is over all. She hoped to communicate this sense of the ever present guiding hand of a Father to her young friends, so that when similar trials and difficulties to hers meet them in the battle of life, they may look to the same source for strength and comfort. The story is a record of the common every-day events of a life begun eighty years ago in the quiet pastoral valley of the Yarrow. Many changes have occurred since then. The world has made much progress in discovery and education, but, reader, with the advance of civilisation, does it not seem true that the love of many is growing cold, that we are in danger of losing the simple faith of our fathers? Perhaps this story may recall to your mind the simplicity and trust of your own early youth, and help you to realise where you now stand. Perhaps it may bring to mind stirring events long forgotten, when Gods goodness was borne in upon you. If so, its publication, kindly insisted upon by her Nieces, will more than carry out the original intention, as it will greatly rejoice the heart of "Aunt Janet."
