Plain Sermons, Preached at Archbishop Tenison's Chapel
by James Galloway CowanEvery one who has thoughtfully read that description of the Samaritans in the second book of Kings—“they feared the Lord and served their own gods”—must have been struck with the mockery, the blasphemy, the absurdity of such a fear. Fear Him, who claims to be the only God, and yet regard many others as equally and independently gods! Wo..

Structure and Functions of the Body
by Annette FiskeAlthough there are already in existence many books on anatomy and physiology for nurses, none with which I am acquainted has seemed to me to provide in concise form just the knowledge needed by the nurse in her profession. Most of them, moreover, separate the anatomy from the physiology and all treat the different systems of tissues separately, fir..
