 14 The 4< Christian Mother ■• I would like to see in the hands of 

 all who have entered or propose to enter the holy state of wedlock."— 

 Pastoral^ Feb. 20, 1882. 



" .... I had to stop the reading from time to time to utter a strong 

 prayer to our good God, that every mother could have a copy of the book. 

 ^ JOHN JOSEPH LYNCH, Archbishop of Toronto:' 



" . . . . I do not know of any new book I have seen of late years cal- 

 culated to do more efficient and wide-spread good through the 

 country. I wish that every mother in the land would study it and 

 profit by it. 



►J* WILLIAM HENRY ELDER, 



A rchbishop 0/ Cincinnati* 



M Could every mother be induced to put in practice the lessons of this 

 book, what blessings would thence derive to themselves, to their children, 

 and to society ! 4« THOMAS L. GRACE, 



Bishop of St. Paul.'* 



". . . The study of the " Christian Mother " would be a great help to 

 many a mother, in the work of their own sanctification, as well as in he 

 education of their children. ^ E. O'CONNELL, 



Bishop of Grass Valley" 



u . . . It possesses the great advantage of being very practical, as it 

 proposes nothing extraordinary, nothing to interfere with the ordinary 

 discharge of parents' domestic and family duties. . . . 



.f. JOHN McEVILLY, 

 Bishop of Galivay and Coadjutor of Tuam. 



■*. . . The little book should be introduced into every Catholic 

 family, for the instruction of parents as well as children, wherefore we 

 earnestly recommend it. ^ JOHN VERTIN, 



Bishop of Marquette. 



u I am well pleased with it, and would like to see it in the hands of 

 every Christian mother. . . .
