Book Description
Excerpt from Words of Comfort for Parents Bereaved of Little Children This volume, of which fifteen thousand copies have already been printed in Great Britain, hardly needs commendation to the American reader. But the testimony of two eminent clergymen - one in England and the other in Scotland may not be out of place. Dean Alford, in the "Contemporary Review," says: "This charming book... originally sprung out of a bereavement, which has indeed brought forth choice fruit. Mr. Logan has brought together an ample collection, from writers, English and foreign, in prose and verse, of passages which could bear on this subject. The large diffusion of the volume is of itself testimony of the truth of our recommendation, when we say that it is one which would form a precious gift to bereaved friends, and would be admitted into counsel with the wounded heart, at a time when almost all words, written and spoken, are worthless. Higher praise could hardly be given." George Gilfillan, in the "Dundee Advertiser," says: "Cordially do we wish that it may find its way into every room of the vast house of mourning, and do there its benevolent mission as a portion of the grand ministry by which God is yet to 'wipe away tears from all faces.'" That its lessons, so full of healing balm, so enriched with truth, so clothed in beauty, may relieve, console, and gladden many a stricken heart, is the hope of the American Publishers.
