192 If any Christian admirers of Miss Martineau find cause of grief in her openly expressed and honestly held opinions on theology, let them comfort themselves with the knowledge that if she has not “loved the Lord,” after their fashion, she has done infinitely better, in loving warmly, sincerely, and faithfully, her "fellow-men.” Let them also beware, on their own account, lest for lack of her good works it shall be said to them, “Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.”

I have not by me a complete list of all Miss Martineau's writings, but the following partial list bears evidence of how industrious a writer she has been, and how varied the themes on which she wrote:

“Devotions for Young People.” “Christmas Day.” “The Friends — A Sequel to Christmas Day.” “Principle and Practice—A Tale.” ‘The Rioters.”
