Illustrated. This story is the first of six of the same character to be known as The Forest Glen Series, each of which is complete in itself. The acorn blown into the crevice of a crag becomes an oak that winds its roots about the place of stones, and gains strength by conflict. These familiar truths find their parallel in the story of the wind-sown boy, fitted for his lifework by the very perils that in childhood environed and at that time threatened to destroy him. The tale counsels endurance, stimulates to effort and trust in God, and shows how property is prized when hardly won, and every acre of which bears testimony to some bitter struggle, when life was at stake. |
