Grandmother Elsie, Book 8 by Martha Finley Pdf

The Elsie Dinsmore Novels, Martha Finley, in our opinion is the author of the best Series of novels that we have seen in our forty-three years of reviewing. Written by Martha Finley, an unmarried teacher of the last century, these novels proved to be a means of conveying her deep love for Christ Jesus. She loved her Lord, she loved His Word, and this love was passed on to His sheep through the writing of by far the best and most Biblical novels you will ever read or see. Altogether there are 28 of these novels, all built around Elsie Dinsmore, her immediate family, her extended family, and her neighbors.

Grandmother Elsie by Martha Finley Pdf

Excerpt from Grandmother Elsie: A Sequel to Elsie's Widowhood Two horses stood ready saddled and bridled before the principal entrance to the mansion, and Mr. Horace Dinsmore, was pacing the veranda to and fro with slow, meditative step, while Bruno, crouching beside the door, fol lowed his movements with wistful, question ing eyes, doubtless wondering what had be come of his accustomed merry, romping play mates. A light step came down the hall, and a lady in riding hat and habit stepped from the open doorway, stooped for an instant to touch the dog's head caressingly with a Poor Bruno! Do you miss your playfellows 9 then glided quickly toward Mr. Dinsmore, who received her with Open arms and tenderest caress. Then holding her off and scrutinizing the sweet, fair face with keen, searching eye, You are looking better and brighter than I dared to hope, my darling, he said. Did you get some sleep 9 Yes, papa, thank you, several hours. And you? Did you rest well? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Elsie Ripley Clapp (1879-1965) by Sam F. Stack Pdf

This biography chronicles the life and teaching practices of Elsie Ripley Clapp, one of the most significant female leaders in progressive education. Clapp's greatest contribution to American education is the community school, a place for self-realization, caring, cooperation, and cultural enrichment as well as the cornerstone of democratic society. Challenging the practices of contemporary education in her era, she envisioned pedagogy as the integration of living and learning, building upon local resources and the experiences of students and their community. Learning was more than training or the acquisition of knowledge, it was a form of communal sharing. Agreeing with her mentor John Dewey, a true education was more of a journey than arrival at a specific destination. This book explores Clapp's personal journey, her triumphs and her failures.

Grandmother Elsie by Martha Finley Pdf

"[...] "What blessings my darlings are! how good and lovable in spite of my failures in right training and example," she said in sincere humility. "Those failures and mistakes have been very few, I think," was his reply; "you have tried very earnestly and prayerfully to train them up in the way they should go. And God is faithful to his promises-your children do not depart from the right way; they do arise and call you blessed." "Papa," she said, in moved tones, after a moment's silence, "we must not forget how much is due to the training, the example, and the prayers of their father." "No, daughter; and we can always plead in their behalf the precious promises to the seed of the righteous. 'I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring.' 'A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children.'"[...]".
