Macrae Stewart, Chaplain to the Australian Imperial Force during the First World War. Published in 1916, the volume brings together a series of talks originally delivered to children, using familiar experiences, Bible passages and everyday observations to illustrate lessons on faith, character, courage and Christian living. Written in an accessible and engaging style, the addresses encourage young readers to cultivate honesty, kindness, perseverance and devotion while presenting biblical teachings in a practical and relatable manner.\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n         \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n         The author draws upon his experiences as both a minister and wartime chaplain, giving many of the addresses a quiet sense of sincerity and moral purpose. Chapters such as The Last Likeness, The Beginning of Knowledge, The Love of Christ and A Good Soldier combine scripture with anecdotes and reflections intended to inspire children to develop strong Christian values. Dedicated to the children of the Church in Malvern, Victoria, the work provides an interesting insight into Australian religious education during the early twentieth century and the influence of the Great War on contemporary Christian thought.\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n         \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n         This 1916 first edition is presented in its original publisher's cloth bindings and is increasingly uncommon, particularly in such complete original form. A contemporary presentation inscription dated 1 August 1918 adds a pleasing touch of provenance, linking the volume to its early ownership during the closing months of the First World War. An attractive example of Australian religious literature by a distinguished A.I.F. chaplain, it will appeal to collectors of Australiana, Christian history, First World War chaplaincy and early twentieth-century devotional works.\"\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n       \u003c\/font\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n       \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n       \u003c\/font\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n       \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n        Light wear and fading to covers and spine as shown.
