Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Dustjacket as issued. Bound in blue cloth. With gift inscription by previous owner. Tissue guard at frontispiece torn, and laid in. A scarce children's title. Elizabeth M. Bruce was an author of several books in the Life Stories for Children Book Series. Bruce was well qualified to write about the tribulations of ministers, for she was herself a pastor in the Universalist Church -- and more: she had not only built her church, the Wayside Chapel in Malden, Massachusetts, but "was also its trustee, janitor, choir, and preacher." Actively involved in the church and women's issues, she attended the first Woman Preachers' Convention in Boston in May 1873, where she was elected secretary of the organization. Were that not enough, about late 1874, Bruce became co-editor of the Ladies' Repository, a responsibility she shared with Mrs. Henriette A. Bingham, and "prepared" its final two issues when Bingham was ill. In 1875, she assumed the editorship of The Myrtle, a Unitarian Sunday-School magazine for children, a position she held for more than thirty years, all the while maintaining her pastorate in Massachusetts. She also continued to write children's books, and her six-volume Helpful Hand stories appeared in 1880.…
