WORDS OF COMMENDATION.

I am much pleased with the little booklet “Good Form and Christian Etiquette.” Its pages are replete with good advice on subjects of everyday interest. Christian courtesy is one of the most necessary qualifications of the Christian worker, and I feel sure that this latest of Mrs. Henry’s works will prove a timely help to parents in bringing up their children; to our young people in their associations with others; and in fact to everyone who desires to so equip himself that his bearing shall have the true dignity of Christian refinement. MRS. E. E. KELLOGG, Supt. Child Culture Circles, World’s W. C. T. U.

I have examined it with great care and interest. It is certainly a very practical contribution to the literature on etiquette. Most books on this subject are too elaborate and have too much of the fashionable society air, but this one meets the needs of common people, and I am sure they will thank Mrs. Henry for this effort to help them in making life’s pathway pleasanter and easier. MARY WOOD-ALLEN, M. D., Supt. Purity Dept. World’s W. C. T. U.

“Shall be more than glad to use every right endeavor to give “GOOD FORM AND CHRISTIAN ETIQUETTE” as wide a circulation as possible, for association with young people for years has given me opportunity to see something of their needs, and enables me to appreciate, in some degree, at least, how this work of Mrs. Henry’s will be of service to them. J. W. LOUGHHEAD, Principal Mt. Vernon (Ohio) Academy.

“GOOD FORM AND CHRISTIAN ETIQUETTE” is certainly a novelty in its line. It is a neat little volume, written in a pleasant, simple, and dignified style, and through its pages are displayed a knowledge of the world and the kindliness of a mother’s heart. The author is Mrs. S. M. I. Henry. Her aim is to tell boys and girls how to act as becomes gentlemen and ladies. Her aim, however, is not to make them martinets, but to have them practice gentility because of the roundness which it gives to characters which, with an exterior uncouth, have real goodness in their hearts. She does not do this by laying down rules, but by pointing out regulations which the experience of thoughtful women, the world over, has found necessary for social order. The position which she has taken, she believes to be at the foundation of any social life that would keep itself unspotted from the world.—The Oakland (Cal.) Tribune.

We are glad indeed that the sweet Christian influence of the writer may still reach others. This book is a most important one for young people, and can be profitably read by everyone. —Secretary Vermont Tract Society, Burlington.

“GOOD FORM” is just the book for our young people to read to fit them to meet the world.—W. J. Blake, Quebec Tract Society, South Stukely, Que.
