Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs Amid the Shadows Some lives are so like the violet in their modest beauty and fragrance, that it seems ruthless to drag them before the public; yet their lessons of rare wisdom and holiness are so much needed by the Church, in these days of glare and glitter, that one cannot help longing to record them. All who knew the authoress of these sweet Songs amid the Shadows, experience this double feeling. Her own wish, expressed on her deathbed, settles the question, however; and, in accordance with that wish these few words are not to be in any sense biographical. Over the lovely and holy life of Hetty Bowman, the quiet home sufferer, who made sunshine in many a shady place, we draw a veil; but Hetty Bowman, the Christian worker, we may judge from her works. At an early age she began to write, and her books from first to last bear a strong stamp of individuality, and, indeed, are almost autobiographical. Like the architect who built his great heart into the stones, this gentle woman built hers into her books, and thus reached many another heart by the simple weapons of truth and reality. Her first book, "Life, its Duties and Discipline," was published in 1859, and her second, Christian Daily Life, in 18 G 0.In both works, "Christianity" as a "Life" and not a mere state, or profession, or theory, is graphically and practically depicted.
