Five girls see a shipment of poor furniture sitting on the railway dock addressed to Christie Bailey in the country. Hazel Winship spins a fanciful conjecture that Christie must be a new school teacher who wants to start a Sunday School in the midst of heathen territory. Continuing her "whim" she sends bible study materials and an old organ and hymnal. Hazel and Christie correspond over the years. Finally Hazel visits Christie who during this time has become converted while teaching friends and other "heathen" from the donated supplies. Complications ensue when Hazel discovers Christie to actually be a young man. What kind of a difference will this make? No surprise that they work it out, but much fun in the telling.

another lovely book by my favourite author!
when the young man receives the church organ and all the sunday school books, it is so funny and touching the way he learns about Jesus! i love it how all the others go to his house and excpect him to give them a sermon!
and also the romance when the girl finds out he's a he and not a she!
what a lovely, lovely book. get it if you can. it is worth every minute to read it.
