Praise for the Print Edition

In this book we have a specimen of the instructions which the distinguished rector of St. George’s Church is accustomed to give to the youthful members of his charge. He makes the Book of Ruth the basis of these instructions. . . . The youthful disciple just entering upon the warfare, the veteran soldier in the midst of the strife, and the saint ready to receive his crown, will alike be benefited by it.
