Excerpt from Rod and Staff or Correction and Comfort: A Book of Religious Miscellany

This. Volume, compiled and published at the request of friends, is made up mainly of the author's contribu tions which have appeared in various religious papers Since his first literary venture, October 17, 1877, along with unpublished pieces thereto added, all of which is carefully arranged, in proper order, so that beginning with the Bible as a rule of faith and practice, the Script ure themes that follow fall in naturally in the order in which they should come to our understanding. The black-board cuts are the work of the author, a farmer's son from the Granite State, born in 1848, and beginning his Christian life January 8, 1876,°and who although not an engraver, appears in the role of the artist, while his professional work with the brush during seventeen years past as master car painter for a leading New England railroad company is only excelled by the artistic pen-work exhibited in this valuable volume, where like his flowers on Nahum's Chariots, the apples of gold are set in baskets of Silver.
