KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



I think Gleanings has the most solid comfort in 

 it of any paper of its size that I ever saw. It is good 

 to read to get inspiration and enthusiasm, and it is 

 good to read when one wants to rest. Please con- 

 tinue your exposure of the advertised frauds. If 

 all the best papers would follow your example in 

 this respect it would be of great advantage to the 

 world. Joseph H. Reed. 



Benton Falls, Maine, May 18. 



1 have just received order No. 37,375 all right. I 

 li;ive not tried any thing but the Crane smoker, and 

 that certainly is a daisy. The first thing I tried it 

 on was the worst colony of bees I have. They al- 

 wa\ s give me battle on every inch of their territory; 

 but with tlie Crane smoker they turned after the 

 flr<.^t tire. W. S. Mason. 



Thorndale, Texas. Mav 14. 



Friend Root:— You don't know how much good 

 your little sermons which you publish in Glean- 

 ings fn^m time to time have been to me. I used to 

 think I was as good as anybody, and I did not have 

 my name on the churcii-book; l)ut wlien I read 

 your sermons, and at the same time toolv the Bible 

 as my guide, I soon saw that I was the chief among 

 sinners: but I know now, thank God, tliat it was 

 tiirough the instrumentality of A. I. Root and God's 

 word that I was placed on the solid rock, Clirist 

 Jesus. Fred Leininger.
