The Pastor, especially in the prayer meeting where any kind of help,
_so it is help_, will be welcomed by most pastors.
It will be useful to all because of its wealth of material and
illustration for expressive and impressive _little, big, ten-minute
talks_, whenever opportunity offers.
We commend the book with all earnestness, to these various classes of
people, and will insist that no father or mother will ever be the
poorer, but the richer, who will part with the price and get in
exchange for it a copy of this book, as a birthday or Christmas gift
to a son or daughter between ten and twenty years of age. It will help
parents in the uncertain and difficult problem of rearing their
children in a way that will make them and keep them a joy in the home,
rather than a heartache, a heart break, and the saddest kind of a
bereavement, which is too often the case. Surely a dollar spent which
may help avert this, is worth far more than a hundred cents lying
unused in a bank.
There are sixty-two picture outlines in the book, and with every
picture a ten-minute talk, with chalk illustration, which recites and
impresses, now, a great and noble deed of a truly noble man; now a
kindly act with a double blessing in it; again, a warning to those who
unknowingly set foot upon the devil's ground and find it a miry or
slimy pit; or, it may be a lesson from one of the world's great poets
or historians, for the author has evidently been a reader of great
books with a mind to recall many lessons learned therefrom.
