    About this ebook

    Gems Gathered in Haste by an anonymous editor is a collection of didactic short stories and poetry to instill virtue in listeners at Sunday School. Excerpt: "It is an excellent rule, no doubt, children, not to be in a hurry; and the proverbs, "Take time by the forelock" and "The more haste the worse speed," are wise proverbs, worth keeping. But occasions occur, once in a while, when working hastily is a great deal better than not working at all, and may be working to some purpose too. I remember a case of this kind."
