REV. H. CLAY TRUMBULL,
Missionary Secretary for New England of the American S.S. Union.
“Your new work, on “ The Transmission of Life,” is one that
every boy, and every man, every bachelor, parent, or teacher,
should have and read and be grateful for. I have given suffi¬
cient study to the ways and needs of boys and young men, to
appreciate perhaps more fully than most, the importance oi
your theme. I have been much instructed by your writings,
and I desire others to be benefitted thereby.”
Rt. REV. THOMAS MARCH CLARK, D.D., LL.D,
Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Rhode Island.
“ I do not hesitate to say that I regard it as a most timely
and valuable treatise on an important and delicate subject. 1
do not see a line to which the most fastidious could object, and
I believe that its general circulation among the young would
avert a vast amount of misery and sin.”
BISHOP T. A MORRIS, D.D.,
Methodist Episcopal Church.
“The subject of this work is one of intense interest, and
the manner of treating it is very proper. Both will command
public attention and approval. May the book find a hearty
welcome among all the wise and good.”
REV. LEONARD BACON, D.D.,
New Haven, Connecticut.
L think you have treated very judiciously a difficult subject.
My belief that some such work may be useful is derived from
the fact that the newspapers in all parts of the country over¬
flow with advertisements addressed to the ignorance, the fears,
and the guilt of transgressors. If your book can diminish
the sale of the nostrums oflered in those advertisements—
still more, if it can put any on their guard against the vices
which make such advertisements worth paying for, you will
have done a good work.”
REV. J. AVERY SHEPHERD, D.D.,
Head Master of St. Clement's Hall, Ellicott City, Md.
The subjects treated of are not merely of great interest,
hey are of vital importance. My decided impression is that
this work will do good.
