What a Young Husband Ought to Know

WHAT EMINENT PEOPLE IN AMERICA SAY.

[Ill.u.s.tration: CHARLES M. SHELDON, D.D.

Author of "In His Steps," "Crucifixion of Philip Strong," "My Brother's Keeper," etc., etc., Topeka, Kans.]

"I take pleasure in adding my word of commendation for the spirit and purpose of your book, 'What a Young Husband Ought to Know,' which I have received and read. I believe the book will do great good, and I hope its message may be used for the bettering of the homes of the world."

WHAT EMINENT PEOPLE IN ENGLAND SAY.

[Ill.u.s.tration: REV. F. B. MEYER, B.A.

Minister of Christ Church, Westminster, London, Author of "Israel, A Prince with G.o.d," "Elijah: Tried by Fire," "The Bells of Is," etc., etc.]

"The questions which are dealt with in the 'Self and s.e.x Series' of books are always being asked, and if the answer is not forthcoming from pure and wise lips it will be obtained through vicious and empirical channels. I therefore greatly commend this series of manuals, which are written lucidly and purely, and will afford the necessary information without pandering to unholy and sensual pa.s.sion. There has been, in my judgment, too much reticence on the whole of this subject, and nameless sins have originated in ignorance or in the directions given to young life by vicious men. I should like to see a wide and judicious distribution of this literature among Christian circles."

WHAT EMINENT PEOPLE IN AMERICA SAY.

[Ill.u.s.tration: HON. S. M. JONES.

Mayor of Toledo, Ohio.]

"I have taken the time out of a very hurried week to look over your book, 'What a Young Husband Ought to Know,' and it seems to me that it is a work that has been prepared with great care and discrimination. I have often thought that this work is one that some heart inspired by love of humanity should undertake. I am glad to say that my study of it indicates that you have been led by a pure love for your kind to write one of the most helpful and valuable books that it has been my privilege to see in many days."

WHAT EMINENT PEOPLE IN AMERICA SAY.

[Ill.u.s.tration: EDWARD BOK.

Editor of the "Ladies' Home Journal."]

"You have accomplished in doing, in your little book, 'What a Young Husband Ought to Know,' exactly what you have set out to do, it seems to me, and I know of no book of its kind which exhales to the same degree, and so unerringly, the candid, pure and exalted purpose of the writer.

It is an honest little book, and every young married man who reads it cannot fail to be helped by it, and helped materially. There are books, three times the size, which do not begin to have one-third of the common sense in them that your little book has."

[Ill.u.s.tration: MRS. HELEN CAMPBELL.

Dean of the Department of Household Economics, Kansas State Agricultural College; author of "Prisoners of Poverty,"

"Some Pa.s.sages in the Life of Dr. Martha Scarborough," etc., etc.]

"It meets the strongest need for the ma.s.s of young men, who have failed most of them, to receive the training outlined in the books for boys--who are ignorant utterly as to just their own degree of responsibility, and who will find in your careful statement of the problem as a whole, not only invaluable direction, but a guarantee of healthier and happier life for both husband and wife."

WHAT EMINENT PEOPLE IN AMERICA SAY.

[Ill.u.s.tration: MRS. MAY WRIGHT SEWALL.

President of the Girls' Cla.s.sical School; President of the International Council of Women.]

"I feel sure that the book which you have had the privilege to write must do every young man good who reads it. To inculcate in society this sound view that knowledge upon these subjects is not only compatible with delicacy, but requisite to it, is one of the most important contemporary duties of teachers, whether in the pulpit, on the rostrum, in the sanctum, or in the cla.s.s-room."

[Ill.u.s.tration: HERRICK JOHNSON, D.D., LL.D.

Professor in McCormick Theological Seminary, Chicago. Author of "Plain Talks about the Theatre," "Revivals, Their Place and Power,"

"Christianity's Challenge," etc.]

"I have just laid down your book, 'What a Young Husband Ought to Know,'

after a very interested perusal of it. The rare discrimination and delicate sense displayed in the handling of your theme are especially commendable. To say a bold courageous thing on a confessedly delicate subject, without any offence to true modesty, is a fine achievement. All manhood and womanhood ought to thank you."

WHAT EMINENT PEOPLE IN AMERICA SAY.

[Ill.u.s.tration: BISHOP JOHN H. VINCENT, D.D., LL.D.

Chancellor of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle; Author of "Sunday School Inst.i.tutes and Normal Cla.s.ses," "The Church School and Its Officers," etc.]

"In a straightforward, clean, kind, clear and convincing way you discuss the 'Young Husband' question. A copy ought to go with every marriage certificate. The book is timely and full of wisdom."

WHAT EMINENT PEOPLE IN AMERICA SAY.

[Ill.u.s.tration: FRANCIS E. CLARKE, D.D.

Founder of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor, and President of the United Society.]

"I regard Dr. Stall's latest book as equal to the others in its delicate but plain-spoken chapters concerning the facts the men to whom it is addressed ought to know. I hope it will have a wide circulation."
