This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from Tears for the Little Ones: A Collection of Poems and Passages Inspired by the Loss of Children Faith. So we need everything that can strengthen our vision of unseen things, and assure us of future meetings which involve no separations. If we dwell, in mistaken and morbid love, upon the harrowing scenes that have to do with earth alone, we loose the bond between us and our children in heaven, and are carried far out of sympathy with the new life in which they are unfolding thus only can they cease to be our own. Sorrowing is indeed our precious right, but sorrowing in hope is our sublime privilege and our Chris tian duty. There is a real comfort which we may take to our hearts, and to assist in giving it this little book of con.

Johnson was born Helen Louise Kendrick on January 4, 1844, in Hamilton, New York, the daughter of Asahel Clark and Ann (Hopkins) Kendrick. Her father, professor of Greek in Madison University (later Colgate), in 1850 became professor of Greek in Rochester University. The following year Mrs. Kendrick died and for some years Helen lived either in a boarding house in Rochester, or with her mother's sister at Clinton.
From 1860 to 1863 Johnson was not well, but from September 1863 to June 1864 she studied at Oread Institute at Worcester, Massachusetts. Her school education was slight, but under the influence of a cultured father, she was always a great reader.
Visiting the South, Helen wrote for a newspaper edited by Rossiter Johnson a story, "A Night in Atlanta. " Soon after, in 1867, she met the young editor at her father's Rochester home and on May 20, 1869, they were married. They went to live at Concord, New Hampshire, where Johnson was editor of the New Hampshire Statesman. Mrs. Johnson immediately began writing stories and Bible sketches for her husband's paper. Her first book, Roddy's Romance, for children, was not published until 1874. In 1873 they removed to New York, where Mrs. Johnson undertook her most important literary work, Our Familiar Songs and Those Who Made Them (1881), a collection of over three hundred songs, with piano accompaniments and histories of the writers and songs. The family spent the summers in Europe, touring the West, on Staten Island, at Suffern, New York, Monmouth and Casco Bay, Maine, Oak Ridge, New Jersey, and finally in their own summer home at Amagansett, Long Island.
In New York Mrs. Johnson devoted much time to writing but was also active in club and social work. For two years, 1894-1896, she was editor of the American Woman's Journal, which covered art, literary, scientific, and household subjects. Through her editorship she became interested in the woman suffrage movement. She contributed many articles to newspapers, magazines, and to Appletons' Annual Cyclopaedia.
During years of hard work Mrs. Johnson found recreation at Amagansett. Here, in 1892, she and her daughter designed and built "Bluff Cottage. " Later they built other cottages and Mrs. Johnson personally furnished them for tenants. The last cottage, "Thalatta, " became their favorite summer home. In her last years Mrs. Johnson, always a Bible student, wrote "The Aryan Ancestry of Christ, " and during her final illness completed "Woman's Place in Creation, " neither of which was published. She died in New York City, on January 3, 1917, and was buried in Mount Hope Cemetery, Rochester.

Helen was convinced that the suffrage was not wise for women. She wrote Woman and the Republic, a discussion of the arguments of the advocates of suffrage, and many pamphlets and newspaper articles against the movement, besides speaking before legislative committees at Albany and Washington.
Johnson was on the board of managers of the Henry Street Settlement and founded the Meridian Club and the Guidon Club, an anti-suffrage organization.
Helen married Rossiter Johnson in 1869. The Johnsons had four children, three of whom died in infancy; one daughter, Florence, survived her mother.
