| Summary |
"Choice Readings for the Home Circle" by Ellen Gould Harmon White is a collection of moral and religious readings likely compiled in the early 20th century. The selections within this anthology focus on teaching virtuous principles such as kindness, obedience, and benevolence, aimed particularly at families seeking moral guidance, especially during Sabbath hours. The opening of the book features a preface that outlines the compiler's intent to provide high-toned reading material suitable for family reflection and discussion. It emphasizes the importance of kind deeds and moral lessons that encourage adherence to Christian values without sectarian bias. Following this introduction, the first story titled "The Indian's Revenge" is introduced, which sets up a narrative contrasting prejudice and kindness through the experiences of a young farmer named William Sullivan and an Indian hunter. The story begins to explore themes of compassion and redemption, marking the beginning of a series of heartwarming and instructive tales designed to imprint moral lessons onto readers.
