Excerpt from The Voice of the Home: Or, How Roy Went West, and How He Came Home Again No epoch fails of its Chronicler, and the books of Mrs. Henry, since the Crusade, preserve the finest essence not only of that Pentecostal movement, but of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, its lineal successor. Imbued with the spirit of this work from the beginning, calling the women of her own city (Rockford, 111.) to arms, that memorable winter of 1874, thenceforward an indefatigable Temperance evangelist, and now Superintendent of this Department for our National W. C. T. U., Mrs. Henry is uniquely qualified to do this work, for she speaks whereof she knows. Add to this training her rare facility in composition, especially adapted to the narrative style, which best suits her thrilling theme, and we behold our gifted friend fore-ordained by fitness for the hour's need. What her choice book, "The Pledge and the Cross, " is doing for our gospel work, we may expect the present earnest story to accomplish in the homes. Other things equal, commend us to the writer on home-training, whose own "Young Hopefuls" incarnate in their character and habits the results aimed at in their mother's theory. Tried by this rule, our author has a right to speak, for her three fatherless bairns (two of them boys), furnish delightful illustrations of her power to "suit the action to the word" in the supremely weighty matters of Homes Law and Gospel.
