“One of the most striking and moving utterances.... Let all Americans
read it.”--_The Congregationalist._
“It is written with sustained charm and freshness of insight.”--_New
York Times._
“It is a flaming thing, itself a tongue of Pentecost.”--_Boston
Advertiser._
“Mr. Wister’s artistic power at its best.”--_Philadelphia Ledger._
“A strong book which sets out to be just a passionate plea to America
to find its own soul.”--_Rabbi Stephen S. Wise._
“In ‘The Pentecost of Calamity’ Owen Wister sees and speaks as a
prophet. With rare spiritual insight and sympathy he penetrates to the
real meaning of the world tragedy under whose shadow we are living. I
am glad we have an American writer able to speak the voiceless longing
of an awakened world.”--_Rev. Charles A. Eaton, Pastor of the Madison
Avenue Baptist Church._
