Harriet Beecher Stowe: a biography for girls
Crow, Martha Foote
Stowe, Harriet Beecher, 1811-1896 -- Juvenile literature
But it would
never have made the woman if she had not stood ready to be made. That
preparation we have seen develop step by step in this story of her life.
It is, therefore, for the spirit of the woman behind the worker that we
are most sharply indebted; for, after all, it is an even greater thing
to live a great life than to write a great book. Harriet had courage;
she had initiative. She was overwhelmingly magnanimous, she was utterly
true. She was true to that part in us that grows, as well as to the
part that inherits the teaching of the past. She was wise enough to
know that the human mind and soul must be always impressionable, always
open to the truth as well as staunch in defending it. She had faith
in herself and she had faith in God. Moreover, it was because of her
faith in God that she had that faith in herself. After all, then,
it was her perfect confidence in God that was the key-note of her
character. “Let us never doubt,” she said; “everything that ought to
happen is going to happen.” This was the supreme note in the harmony of
her life.
