From =Rev. James R. Danforth=, Pastor Central Congregational Church, Philadelphia, Pa.: “I look upon it as the BEST BOOK before the public for service in both prayer-meeting and Sunday-school.” From the =“Congregationalist,”= Boston: “Dr. Richards’s name is enough to warrant its quality, and examination confirms one’s anticipations of its merits.” From the =“Illustrated Christian Weekly,”= New York: “The best book for its purpose that we have yet seen.” From =Rev. Judson Titsworth=, Milwaukee, Wis.: “We like it better and better, and are not in the least happy in the thought that we have only begun to know it. We like it equally well in the prayer-meeting.” From =“The Independent,”= New York: “The Rev. Dr. Richards’s ‘Songs of Praise and Prayer’ may safely be pronounced not only THE BEST YET PUBLISHED, but a very close approach to the ideal manual, particularly for the Sunday-school.” Returnable copies sent free to pastors or church committees desiring books for examination.
