  Charles H. Spurgeon

  Mr. Spurgeon was emphatically the friend of the young. During the course of his successful and God-honored ministry, his supreme aim was to lead children and youth to Christ and to encourage and stimulate them in their aspirations after true nobility. Now that his voice is hushed, his powerful pen still speaks. In this book, with persuasive earnestness and characteristic force, he shows those who are standing upon the threshold of life how to make A Good Start.It is impossible to overestimate the importance of the start we make in the journey of life since it necessarily affects and largely determines all that follows. No life can be truly success¬ful unless lived along the lines of Christian principles. The first step must be surrendering the heart to Christ, and all of life’s journey must be lived in conscious fellowship with Him. In this way, we form true perceptions of life and duty, and are enabled to give practical embodiment to God’s idea concerning us. It is during this character-forming time of life that wise counsel, faithful warning, and sympathetic admonition are especially valuable.

  In the midst of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Archibald Shrew and Garbage Island’s mouse mayor, Mr. Popli, constantly clash over Archibald’s bungled inventions. 
   
  In fact, Archie and Mayor Popli are so busy arguing that they don’t realize their island is falling apart until it’s too late. 
   
  Caught in a current, these unlikely companions are swept far from home on a rip-roaring adventure neither could have imagined. 
   
  As they try to find their way back, they’ll face many perils—a massive storm, deadly predators, a formidable enemy army—and discover new strengths in themselves and in each other. But they’ll need every ounce of bravery, creativity, and cooperation they can muster—if they’re going to survive. 
   
  “Pint-sized characters face outsized challenges with heart and wit in this heroic adventure. The winner: readers!”—Sara Pennypacker, New York Times best-selling author of the Clementine series

  Mouse Utopia Experiment The: The...

  In 1968, biologist John Calhoun began an experiment at the National Institute of Mental Health in Maryland. Calhoun was interested in discovering the factors that drove and limited rodent population growth; he had joined the Rodent Ecology Project in Baltimore in 1946, and he and other members of the project had become interested in understanding how to reduce rodent pests in America’s cities without the use of poison. 
  	Calhoun had already undertaken similar experiments. In fact, this would be his 25th attempt at creating a self-sustaining rodent colony. This experiment was known as the Mortality-Inhibiting Environment for Mice, but informally, it was known as mouse heaven or, more commonly, mouse utopia.  
  	The experiment was carefully crafted, and Calhoun’s previous experience was used to design a “perfect” environment for mice. Free from predators, disease, and stress, with unlimited access to water and plentiful food supplies, the mice involved could, in theory, live much longer lives than mice in the wild. Calhoun built the “mouse universe,” added mice, and provided food and water. Then, for almost five years, he simply watched what happened in mouse utopia. 
  	While it may be fair to wonder how a fairly obscure zoological experiment that took place over 50 years ago has any relevance to modern society, since the experiment ended, people have been using the findings of what became known as the Calhoun Mouse Utopia Experiment to make predictions about human behavior and human societies. In the decades since Calhoun finished his work, this experiment has been used to “prove,” among other things, that modern urban society is doomed, that contemporary society will inevitably lead to lethal levels of overpopulation, and even that political creeds such as communism and socialism are unsustainable.
