For a long time, in the hopefulness and confidence of youth, I dreamed of going to Palestine. But that dream was denied, for want of money and leisure. Then, for a long time, in the hardening strain of early manhood, I was afraid to go to Palestine, lest the journey should prove a disenchantment, and some of my religious beliefs be rudely shaken, perhaps destroyed. But that fear was removed by a little voyage to the gates of death, where it was made clear to me that no belief is worth keeping unless it can bear the touch of reality.

"The sea is his, and he made it."-Ps. XCV:5. O Maker of the Mighty Deep Whereon our vessels fare, Above our life's adventure keep Thy faithful watch and care. In Thee we trust, whate'er befall; Thy sea is great, our boats are small.

"A DAY OFF" said my Uncle Peter, settling down in his chair before the open wood-fire, with that air of complacent obstinacy which spreads over him when he is about to confess and expound his philosophy of life, -"a day off is a day that a man takes to himself." "You mean a day of luxurious solitude," I said, "a stolen sweet of time, which he carries away into some hidden corner to enjoy alone, -a little-Jack-Horner kind of a day?

In every life worth writing about there is a ruling passion, -"the very pulse of the machine." Unless you touch that, you are groping around outside of reality. Sometimes it is romantic love: Natures masterpiece of interested benevolence. In almost all lives this passion has its season of empire. Therefore, and rightly, it is the favourite theme of the storyteller. Romantic love interests almost everybody, because almost everybody knows something about it, or would like to know.

Companionable Books is a collection of essays by the American author and educator Henry Van Dyke. In this book, Van Dyke explores the value of books as companions in our lives, arguing that they can provide us with comfort, guidance, and inspiration. He discusses a variety of literary works, from classic novels to poetry and essays, and examines how they can offer us different types of companionship. Van Dyke also reflects on his own experiences as a reader and writer, sharing personal anecdotes and insights. Throughout the book, he emphasizes the importance of reading as a way to connect with others and find meaning in life. With its engaging prose and thoughtful reflections, Companionable Books is a timeless tribute to the power of literature.1922. From the Preface: Many books are dry and dusty, there is no juice in them; and many are soon exhausted, you would no more go back to them than to a squeezed orange; but some have in them an unfailing sap, both from the tree of knowledge and from the tree of life. By companionable books I mean those that are worth taking with you on a journey, where the weight of luggage counts, or keeping beside your bed, near the night-lamp; books that will bear reading often, and the more slowly you read them the better you enjoy them; books that not only tell you how things look and how people behave, but also interpret nature and life to you, in language of beauty and power touched with the personality of the author, so that they have a real voice audible to your spirit in the silence. Here I have written about a few of these books which have borne me good company, in one way or another, and about their authors, who have put the best of themselves into their work. Such criticism as the volume contains is therefore mainly in the form of appreciation with reasons for it.
