"A delightful book.... Covering a multitude of subjects with a
kindly light of wit and wisdom."--Jno. Boyle O Reilly, Boston.
"The opinions are those of a broad-minded, earnest man of to-day,
an optimist of the better sort, and they are written in crisp and
cogent style."--_Providence Journal._
"The 'Owl Party' of four who do most of the talking, are a bright
and brainy quartette."--_Buffalo Express._
"Full of suggestion to the thoughtful."--_San Francisco Chronicle._
"Healthful, with humor and seriousness most happily blended for the
making of a book that is at once pleasant and wise."--_Evening
Bulletin, Philadelphia._
"Oftentimes eloquent and at all times sincere, even when the
playful humor lies beaming on the surface, it is a book that will
carry light and consolation to many doubting minds."--_New York
Times._
"Although the subjects are not new, yet there is a freshness about
their treatment which gives an impression of novelty, and one feels
the inspiration of a certain breadth and liberality of thought
which is uncommon in discussions of this sort."--_Boston Post._
"This candor of mind, and a certain sweetness of temper are very
alluring to the reader, who, whether he finds his own pet beliefs
confirmed or gently taken apart, and their incongruities made
clear, will enjoy every step of the process."--_Brooklyn Times._
"Read with pleasure and laid aside with regret when the last page
is reached."--_Boston Saturday Evening Gazette._
"Keen insight, clear discernment, strong convictions, and distinct
individuality of thought.... Attractive to those who wish to be

prejudices."--_The Christian Union, N. Y._
