A New Book

By Uriah Smith

THROUGH the courtesy of the publishers, we have received a copy of the new book by Col. H. H. Hadley, entitled “The Blue Badge of Courage.” Many of our readers are acquainted with the author of this book, and are more or less familiar with the work of rescue to which he has devoted his life, in behalf of those who have fallen into sin and misfortune; all of which is here told in a very fascinating and interesting way. But it is not so much for the entertaining and readable style of the work that we recommend it as it is for the useful lessons that may be learned from it by all those who are anxious to labor for the Master, in behalf of those who need help, and who may be helped. Colonel Hadley points to the right Source of help and strength for those who would “rescue the perishing.” The temperance reform in England seems to have lacked greatly in this respect, in not incorporating into its foundation work dependence on divine power for the salvation of men. Colonel Hadley, in his Introduction, says that he “has endeavored to show in ‘The Blue Badge of Courage,’ what young men, without money or education, whose lives are blasted by drink and kindred sins, may do, or rather, what a higher Power can do with and for them.” The suggestions of this book can but be very helpful, and its influence good. We would be glad to see it circulated everywhere. Published by the Saalfield Publishing Co., Akron, Ohio; also published in New York and Chicago. 468 pages; neatly bound in cloth. Price, $1.25. U. S.
