OUR EARNEST CARE AND CROWN OF JOY


AN APPRECIATION

I have examined the manuscript of your book with care.The conception seems to me to be admirable, and new inform of presentation. There is a great deal of valuablematerial for which one would search a long time and thennot find it in the orderly and compact form which you havegiven it. It seems to me that Sunday school teachers wouldwelcome it especially, and leaders of teacher-training classeswould desire to use it as an auxiliary text book. I trust itwill be widely read.
