" It -would be difficult to point to another work on the subject in ■which so 

 much valuable material is furnished, and in so small a compass. . . . Not a 

 word is wasted. Clearly, simply, forcibly, what is intended to be conveyed is 

 stated. . . . But its chief charm and 'assurance of value is its uncommon 

 common sense." — The Conffregaticmalist. 



'• Full of thought, vigor and push, of sound wisdom delightfully infused 

 with devout feeling, it is sure to do good wide and long." 



—Rev. R. S. S/orrs, D.D.

 the sentiments contained in this volume would set every Christian to work, 

 and soon turn the world upside down through the fire of Christian energy."
