Heartily pleased with the new book, "Advance Guard of Missions," Missionary Volunteer secretaries are recommending it to our young people.
The following quotations from letters show how they regard it:
"Our young people need missionary biography, and I hope this is just the book that will inspire them to go and do likewise."
(Miss) Matilda Erickson,
Corresponding Secretary General Department.
"I find the book an inspiration even to one who has no zeal in missionary work, and to me who love work of this kind, it is more than an inspiration; it kindles a deep desire in my being to spend every moment in the missionary work, that none may be overlooked in the carrying of the message for this time to blind humanity."
Mrs. V. W. Baxter,
Tennessee River Conference.
"It is indeed intensely interesting. I am sure that it will awaken the people's interest in missions, not only the young, but older ones as well."
A. M. Neff,
Virginia Conference.
"I like 'Advance Guard' very much. I had it with me on a trip, and Elder Jackson (president of the conference) read a little in it, and I had to let him have it, he liked it so well. He ordered another for me. I think it is the best I have seen in its line. This is the kind of books we need in the young people's work."
W. W. Roble,
Northern Union Conference.
"I have been able to read only a part of it, but feel free to say that it is worthy the best recommendation I can give it."
Daisy Terry,
Georgia Conference.
"This book is to my mind one of the best books on missions I have read, and I feel, for one, that we will all be pleased to welcome it in our Young People's Missionary Volunteer Reading Course for next fall."
Maggie Ogden,
E. Kansas Conference.
"The sketches included in it are put in such form as to be intensely interesting. I consider it a valuable addition to our young people's literature."
Mrs. Carrie R. Moon,
Lake Union Conference.
"Am sure it will be an inspiration to the young people of this conference."
W. M. Andress,
Western Colorado Conference.
"I am glad to recommend such books to our young people."
"I am well pleased with the book, and it is full of facts which will be well worth the price you ask for it."
Mrs. Emma Wilkinson,
Upper Columbia Conference.
"I do not see how it can fail to stir up a missionary spirit in those who read it, whether old or young."
Mrs. M. T. Poston,
Arizona Conference.
"I am indeed glad to welcome this book, for I believe emphatically that there is a mission for such a book among our young people. The past two or three years I have urged missionary biographies upon our young people. I am starting tomorrow on a trip through the Central Union, and shall take the book with me to read, and shall then be able intelligently to recommend it."
Meade MacGuire,
Central Union.
"From such portions as I have read, I am led to believe that the book is worthy of a place in the library of all of our young people."
Rosamond D. Ginther,
California Conference.
