The mission of Triangle Press is to furnish concerned parents tools to help teach children the truth. This "Children's Heritage Series" has not been rewritten as the Character Building Series was, but the books are reproduced in their original form; a form which some feel is antiquated. True. However, they represent not only the teachings of Godly principals, but they also represent a piece of our history and heritage. The vocabulary contained in these books is rich and varied; it is a far cry from the usual limited and bland use of words found in much of today's children's literature. Some children may even be challenged to rewrite a story in modern grammar; the stories may also be used as a springboard for family study and discussion. There are many aspects of this "Children's Heritage Series" to be cherished.
Who was Sukey Harley? -- She was poor. She lacked a good education. She married early to a man also poor, a "day labourer among farmers". Ofher days as a young woman Sukey commented:
"My husband was a very quiet, steady, and sober man; he was never fond of drink, nor of any levity of any sort, like the rest of the young men. I used to despise him and say, "Well what a fool I have got for a husband!"
She was annoyed when hemildly rebuked her swearing. But then her life changed. God brought her to a deep spiritual conviction of her sinfulness, which awakened a cry in her heart for His mercy. Afterward, as a Christian she became deeply sensitive to the distress of others but remained lively, cheerful, frank, warmhearted and energetic. She valiantly struggled through adversities, failing health and persistent poverty.
