Christianity’s Outline
Is Inspired By Paget
It. Harold Puget. a resident of
Slivcrmine, formulated the idea of a
book which is to give an outline of
Christianity, as the result of hearing
a number of natives of Bermuda
sing a Christmas song. while llu
was spending the winter there llll‘ct'
years ago. Mr. i’aget is a graduate
of Oxford. is a book critic of note.
with headquarters in New York and
is recognized as an authority on
books by Slivermino residents.
The book, “An Outline of Chris-
tianity! Tile Story of Our Civiliza-
tion" is expected to be printed with-
in a. few months. Jews and Moham-
medans have Joined hands with
Catholics and Protestants of all
sects; to carry through this enter-
prise successfully.
Tho vague idea. which Puget re-
ceived in Bermuda. took form some
time later in New iork, when he
was standing in front of a bookshop
window. The problem of financing
the project was taken care ot.by a
number of Influential business men
of the country. >
