THE CALLING OF DAN MATTHEWS

"Mr. Wright has written other novels, but this one is so strong and wholesome, so attractive as literature, so interesting as a story, so artistic in preparation, that it wins increasing favor as one gets into it."--_Buffalo Evening News_.

"Mr. Wright has the gift of knowing people well and of being able to set out their characteristics so clearly that his reader also knows them well."--_Chicago Journal_.

"It is a privilege to meet the people whom the author allows you to know. They are worth while; and to cry and feel with them, get into the fresh, sweet atmosphere with which the writer surrounds them--and above all, to understand Dan Matthews and to go with him in his unfoldment--these will repay you."--_Portland Spectator_.

"Harold Bell Wright has done a fine big piece of work. * * * One might quote at length from the old doctor's homely philosophy. The book can not be read without the keenest enjoyment and at the end of the story one feels that the people are old friends, real flesh and blood characters, so human are they all."--_San Francisco Call_.

"A skillfully mapped battle-field of human souls, relieved, it is true, by humor, but, for the most part, pathetic and, at times, brooded over by the mystery of spirit-strength, life's close, never-ending tragedy."--_Chicago Examiner_.

"Mr. Wright's books are wholesome in the best sense. They express a faith which lies in practical deeds. This latest of them should materially extend the author's favor in a field which he has made his own."--_New York World_.
