"It pulsates with humor, interest, passionate love, adventures,
pathos--every page is woven with threads of human nature, life as we
know it, life as it is, and above it all a spirit of righteousness,
true piety, and heroic patriotism. These inspire the author's genius
and fine literary quality, thrilling the reader with tenderest
emotion, and holding to the end his unflagging, absorbing
interest."--_The Public Ledger_, Philadelphia.
"Mr. White has written a big and satisfying book made up of the
elements of American life as we know them--the familiar humor,
sorrows, ambitions, crimes, sacrifices--revealed to us with peculiar
freshness and vigor in the multitude of human actions and by the
crowd of delightful people who fill his four-hundred odd pages....
It deserves a high place among the novels that deal with American
life. No recent American novel save one has sought to cover so broad
a canvas, or has created so strong an impression of ambition and of
sincerity."--_Chicago Evening Post._
"The great fictional expression of this mighty Twentieth Century
altruistic movement is sure to be something in kind and in degree
akin to Mr. White's 'A Certain Rich Man.'"--_Brooklyn Daily Eagle_.
"An American novel, home-grown in home soil, vital with homely
American motives, and fragrant with homely American memories, Mr.
White has certainly achieved."--_New York Times_.
Dr. Washington Gladden considered this book of sufficient importance
to take it and the text from which the title was drawn as his
subject for an entire sermon, in the course of which he said: "In
its ethical and social significance it is the most important piece
of fiction that has lately appeared in America. I do not think that
a more trenchant word has been spoken to this nation since 'Uncle
Tom's Cabin.' And it is profoundly to be hoped that this book may do
for the prevailing Mammonism what 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' did for
slavery."
