While primarily a problem love story, Man Proposes is essentially a book “with a difference.” The heroine is a charming Southern girl, decidedly American in her ideas, while John is himself a very real sort of young man, and though possessed of sterling qualities which bring him victoriously through his great test, is no paragon of virtues. “Man proposes, but God disposes!”—Thomas a Kempis. “Prithee, why don’t you speak for yourself, John?”—_Longfellow_. As the story unfolds the reader will appreciate the significance of the above lines.
