I picked this charming little pocket book up at an antique store in Austin, TX recently. Appears to have been the property of Miss Edna Wilson of Chester, VT(?) or perhaps her name was Miss Edna Wilson Chester? Not sure if there is enough information to determine its owner. It's a lovely little book though. I've transcribed the pages below each photo.

The Cross of Fire. The Art Lith. Publ. Co. Munich & New York. Printed in Germany. No 2110

Constantine, Emperor of Rome, Thro' the new conquer'd land,

Against Maximian, his foe, Led the great Roman band.

They hoped ere many days went by, A battle would be fought

On this new ground, and the great king Was puzzl'd with this thought.

To which God should he pray for aid? The heathen gods of old,

Or this new wondrous God, the Christ, Of whom the Gentiles told?

And as he ponder'd deep in thought, The legions, with a cry,

Stopped in their onward march, in fear At a sign in the sky.

At the blue heavens overhead, The men in terror gazed, 

For there, above the noonday-sun, A Cross of beauty blazed. 

Around the heathen host below, It cast its glorious light,

Far purer than the sun's warm glow, A radiance more bright.

In hoc Signo Vinces!

"By this conquer" there read a sign In burning letters wrought,

That stretch'd above the Holy Cross, In answer to his thought.

Constantine, as the vision blest Slowly passed away, 

Humbly bowed his head to God For the first time, to pray.

And through this strange campaign the Cross Was borne above the fight,

And as the heavenly sign foretold, They conquer'd by its might.

And we who fight our battles now, Though not like the great kings,

Shall win beneath the Holy Cross, And overcome all things.
