"Dr. Ludlow shows versatility and rare culture in this book of essays. From the first page one is impressed with the beautifully clear style, the brilliant thought which flashes through every sentence, and the marvelous storehouse of illustration from which the author draws. The vital importance of will power in the formation of character, and the incentives which lie back of it as motives to action, are set forth with vigor and power."—Christian Observer.

"Deborah is a genuine Jewess, noble, brilliant, loving and lovely."—Congregationalist.

"Nothing in the class of fiction to which 'Deborah' belongs, the class of which 'Ben Hur' and 'Captain of the Janizaries' are familiar examples, exceeds the early chapters of this story in vividness and rapidity of action. The book as a whole has vigor and color."—The Outlook.

"Ralph Connor's 'Black Rock' was good, but 'The Sky Pilot' is better. The matter which he gives us is real life; virile, true, tender, humorous, pathetic, spiritual, wholesome. His style, fresh, crisp and terse, accords with the Western life, which he understands. Henceforth the foothills of the Canadian Rockies will probably be associated in many a mind with the name of 'Ralph Connor.'"—The Outlook.

"As straight as a pine, as sweet as a balsam, as sound as a white oak."—The Interview.

In pathos it reaches the high level of "The Sky Pilot." In atmosphere it is "The Man from Glengarry." In action it rivals "Black Rock."

"'Ralph Connor' is some man's nom de plume. The world would insist on knowing whose. He has gone into the Northwest Canadian mountains and painted for us a picture of life in the mining camps of surpassing merit. With perfect wholesomeness, with exquisite delicacy, with entire fidelity, with truest pathos, with freshest humor, he has delineated character, has analyzed motives and emotions, and has portrayed life. Some of his characters deserve immortality, so faithfully are they created."—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The world has known and today Ralph Connor has been accorded the signal honor of seeing his books, by virtue of their sterling worth, attain a sale of over one and one-half million copies.
