Several years ago the Rev. Howard N. Brown, of Brookline, read stories to the children, taking up such topics as Star in the East, Temper, Patience, Good and Bad Seed. A volume was soon after published, containing sixteen of these stories; and a new edition has recently been issued, at the low cost of half-a-dollar. Some of the tales are wholly original, while others are based on the parables of Jesus, or some incident of his life.
