Francis J. Finn and Francis J. Finn, S.J.
Read by Maria Therese
The scene of the story is laid partly in Milwaukee, partly in New York. It describes the trials of the orphaned Lachance children. The boy hero is of a loving and lovable disposition and wins the hearts of all. The author has combined pathetic incidents with religious consolations, and gives zest to the whole by diffusing his genial humor throughout.
From the author of Tom Playfair, Percy Wynn, But Thy Love and thy Grace, and many more. (Summary from Dominicana Magazine, 1900) (4 hr 34 min)

There is a goodness imparted by a loving God which must be played out in our lives if life is to be anything but rude, obscene , and self-seeking. There is a better way to live than by bullying the gentle, the virtuous, and using foul language to express every thought. The new generations in America would do well to seek what the older generations knew. Hostility and meanness seems the order of the day. This book is wonderful
