OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



" TTie Christian at Work is the liveliest religious paper published 

 in these parts. Its columns are spicy and sparkling and to religious 

 people who like things lively it is a readable paper. The Devil is 

 more certain to be frightened with a radiant face than a solemn and 

 forbidding one." — N. Y. Commercial Advertiser. 



" The Christian at IVork has donned a new dress and looks as 

 pretty as a picture. The type of all sizes is admirably clear and a 

 handsomer weekly there is not in these United States." — N. Y. 

 E,vening Mail. 



" The Christian at Work is safe and reliable in all its utterances 



and ought to displace the in every Presbyterian family. 



Its editor is a host in himself, and nothing will stagnate that he has 

 anything to do with." — London Correspondent Chicago Interior. 



" The Christian at Work is an admirably conducted sheet, filled 

 with live matter." — iV. Y. Star. 



" The Christian at Work is one of the most readable religious 

 papers published anywhere. The Doctor and his associates have 

 discovered the art of making a publication orthodox without being 

 flippant." — Brooklyn Eagle. 



" In T7ie Christian at Work everything is lively and life-like. 

 This Christian smiles, laughs, sometimes actually whistles, while at 

 his work, and that without letting down the dignities and proprieties 

 that belong to the discussion of the themes it discusses." — Brooklyn 

 Union. 



"The Christian at Work is one of the best of the religious week- 

 lies, and deserves the success it has attained." — Brooklyn Argus 



" The Christian at Work is one of the most sprightly, most 

 gladly welcomed in every family of all religious weeklies. It flit-i 

 from the pulpit to the pew, from the rod of authority to the kiss of 

 love, from the paternal command to the child's obedience, and 

 scatters flowers upon all, breathing content and happiness upon all 

 Its readers." — American Garden.
