This is the concluding sequel to the Chautauqua Series. The four mothers, now grandmothers, had always wanted to return to Chautauqua, but circumstances and life had prevented them until now. They return to their beloved Chautauqua with children and grandchildren in tow. These four ladies have remained faithful to their Lord throughout their lives; all of their children have come to love the Lord except for two. In part, this is the story of the two remaining children to be brought into God's fold. In one way this book was disappointing because Chautauqua, twenty-five years later, had changed. Although the Bible was still preached and Christ was upheld in sermons, the flavor of many of the classes had changed from simple Bible lessons to classes on upholding the intellectual and literary tastes of the people. There was even a musical presentation of Sleeping Beauty. Isn't this just how life is? Gradually the philosophies of the world creep in one door, and God leaves through the other. Mrs. Alden, in her earlier books, always pointed out the dangers of entertainments, especially in the area of performances. Sadly, in this book performances had come to Chautauqua. One note of interest to the fans of Mrs. Alden is that in her autobiography, toward the end of her life, she wrote that she no longer attended Chautuaqua because of its worldliness, but had moved to join with those who were going back to, or staying with, the Bible. Fans of the Four Girls at Chautauqua will enjoy reading about the closing years of their lives. KOF Old Reprint.

Review by: Patience in Murray, IA
Finally, after so many lapses of years, the “four girls” head back to Chautauqua, the place that became so endeared to their memories—the place where they found Christ when they were young. Children and grandchildren go with them, but the beloved Chautauqua had changed. Sermons and hymns still went on, but the world and its influences had left their stains. This book focuses on two of the children who were yet unsaved, yet eventually find the Lord at Chautauqua. The last of the four girls’ story, this one was a joy to read, for I again wanted to see them united at Chautauqua for sentimental reasons. It was a blessing to me, and I learned much from these girls. I wish everyone could know what Keepers teaches on books, for sadly too many Christians read books that damages them spiritually and physically. Keepers has been a source of encouragement and help for me, and I daily thank God for such a company as them! I highly recommend all of their books!
