Children's literature -- Periodicals
*From the Congregationalist and Boston Recorder.*
Among juvenile periodicals, we think GOLDEN DAYS likely to take high
rank for variety, instructiveness, vivacity and freedom from
objectionable characteristics. We have examined several numbers, and it
seems to be well edited and likely to deserve and win popularity.
*ANOTHER FROM REV. D. M’CARTNEY,*
_Pastor Clinton Avenue M. E. Church, Kingston, N.Y._
I have examined sample copies of GOLDEN DAYS, and most heartily indorse
it as meeting a felt want. Notwithstanding the large number of papers we
subscribe for now, it looks as if GOLDEN DAYS would have to be added to
the number, as my children are enraptured with it.
BISHOP BOWMAN,
_Of the Methodist Episcopal Church, writes:_
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 26, 1880.
I have examined with great interest several numbers of GOLDEN DAYS, and
am much pleased with them. We greatly need all such publications for our
young people, to save them from the corrupting trash that meets them on
every side. I wish you great success in this worthy Christian
enterprise.
*FROM REV. O. C. DICKERSON,*
_Pastor of Congregational Church, Belleplain, Iowa._
ED. GOLDEN DAYS.--All hail! As a sterling friend of the young, your
enterprise wakes loud echoes.
*REV. RICHARD NEWTON, D.D.,*
_Pastor of the P. E. Church of the Epiphany, Philadelphia, says:_
From what I have seen of GOLDEN DAYS, it strikes me very favorably.
There is a high tone of morality about it which is calculated to exert a
very wholesome influence on the young people who read it.
*From the Roman Citizen, Rome, N.Y.*
A MODEL PAPER.--Two years ago, we informed the readers of the Citizen
that a long-felt want was to be supplied--viz., a paper was to be
printed which would give the young people (boys and girls) plenty of
good reading without corrupting their morals or vitiating their
tastes--in other words, would furnish them with stories which would
gratify their love of adventure without inspiring in them a desire to
imitate impossible heroes, and tempting them to desert their homes in
search of adventures which never occur outside of blood-and-thunder
papers and story books. The paper we allude to--GOLDEN DAYS--promised
this, and we have carefully watched it for two years to see how its
pledge would be redeemed. We are glad to be able to state it has
exceeded our most sanguine expectations. While it has been constantly
filled with stories and sketches of the most fascinating character,
we have never seen a sentence in it which we could have wished to have
omitted.
*From the Episcopal Recorder.*
