Dieses Buch der im 19. Jahrhundert sehr erfolgreichen Jugendschriftstellerin Clementine Helm erzählt auf liebevolle Weise die Geschichte von Gretchen, welche als Landei zu ihrer Tante nach Berlin kommt, um Benimm zu lernen. Diese völlig neue Welt, die in starkem Kontrast zu ihrem bisherigen freien und wilden Landleben steht, fordert Grete einiges ab, und anfangs lässt sie kein Fettnäpfchen aus. Nach und nach lernt sie jedoch, sich in der feineren Gesellschaft Berlins zu bewegen ohne überall anzuecken. Unterstützt wird sie dabei durch ihre beste Freundin Marie, und durch ihre sehr geduldige Tante. - Zusammenfassung von Claudia Salto

The Book of Baruch consists of exhortation to Jews in exile to accept exile, hope for the mercy of God, and resist the temptation to worship idols of the nations. The Book of Baruch, occasionally referred to as 1 Baruch, is called a deuterocanonical or apocryphal book of the Bible. Although not in the Hebrew Bible, it is found in the Greek Bible (LXX) and in the Vulgate Bible, and also in Theodotion's version. There it is found among the prophetical books which also include Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, and the twelve minor prophets. It is named after Baruch ben Neriah, Jeremiah's scribe. Scholars propose that it was written during or shortly after the period of the Maccabees. In the Vulgate, the King James Bible, and many other versions, the Letter of Jeremiah is appended to the end of the Book of Baruch as a sixth chapter. (Summary by Wikipedia, modified by Sam Stinson)

A former colleague, Dr. Marc DuQuesne, joins with the unscrupulous World Steel Corporation to try to steal Seaton's invention.

Maria Chapdelaine is one of the most famous French Canadian novels. It is the love story of Maria Chapdelaine, daughter of a peasant family in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region of Quebec, in the 1900s. It is often seen as an allegory of the French Canadian people, describing simple joys and great tragedies, the bonds of family, the importance of faith, and the strength of body and spirit needed to endure the harshness of life in Canada's northern wilderness.

06:53:16 - 21 - Testimonies to the Church of Christ from its Enemies
07:22:40 - 22 - Connexion between the Doctrine and Practice of Primitive Christians
It is certain, that from our Saviour's time to the present, there have ever been persons whose dispositions and lives have been formed by the rules of the New Testament; men who have been real, not merely nominal Christians, who believed the doctrines of the gospel, loved them because of their divine excellency, and suffered gladly the loss of all things, that they might win Christ, and be found in him. It is the history of these men which I propose to write. It is of no consequence with respect to my plan, nor of much importance I believe in its own nature, to what external church they belonged. I intend not to enter with any nicety into an account of their rites and ceremonies, or forms of church government, much less into their secular history. Even religious controversies shall be omitted, except those which seem to bear a relation to the essence of Christ's religion, and of which the history of his real church seems to require some account. Let not the reader expect, that the actions of great men (great in a secular view I mean) will be exhibited to his notice. Nothing but what belongs to Christ's kingdom shall be admitted, and genuine piety is that alone which I intend to celebrate. - Summary by Introduction
