Within thwe page perhaps some day to be opened to the kindly ih quiring eye - lie the records of a quiet life, stirred at intervals by spasms of infantile intensity.

While visiting Molokai he became well acquainted with Father Damien, about whom he wrote "The Lepers of Molokai", a work which did much for the priest\'s esteem. He was received into the Catholic Church in 1867, and held a tender devotion for the faith. Charles Stoddard is the author of "Idyls", "A Troubled Heart and How It Was Comforted", "For the Pleasure of His Company", and "St. Anthony, the Wonder Worker of Padua".
