'The Shepherd of
the Hills,' the power of 'Dan Matthews' and the grace of 'Barbara Worth'
are all woven into a strain more delicate and more beautiful than this
great writer has ever before penned. Through this medium has Mr. Wright
told more plainly than before the inmost secrets and joys of his big
heart."--_Boston Globe_.
"Some one has called Harold Bell Wright 'the apostle of the wholesome'
in fiction, and his latest volume, 'Their Yesterdays,' certainly bears
out his claim to the title. Also it shows the man's remarkable genius.
We may liken the perusal of the book to listening to some magnificent
organ played soft and low by a master hand. And, as one never wearies of
gazing upon great paintings nor of listening to the uplifting strains of
fine music so one reads this volume with deep appreciation and pays the
tribute of regret when it is ended."--_Nashville Tennessean_.

THE EYES OF THE WORLD
"Tense situations, clear-cut, strong characters, the struggle of right
over advancement, and cleanliness against wealth are all pictured in
'The Eyes of the World' with all the vigor for which the author has
become known."--_Spokane Chronicle_.
"Harold Bell Wright has always stood for clean, pure, wholesome fiction,
and helped the cause by that quality in his books, but in 'The Eyes of
the World' he has made the most profound appeal of all, and who can
foretell the far-reaching influence of such a book!"--_Raleigh Times_.
"When the author produced 'The Winning of Barbara Worth,' the reading
public believed he had written his masterpiece of fiction but this
literary genius, the wizard of American novelists, has surprised the
literators in 'The Eyes of the World.' * * * the most intense and
dramatic novel of today."--_Grand Rapids Herald_.
"The Eyes of the World' is an unusual novel. It is that rare event, a
pure love story. It deals sledgehammer blows at animalism and
sensualism, and is as a strong white light on a rock illumining the dark
valley below."--_Portland Oregonian_.
"It is a protest of a prophet against modern society and a strong story
of the triumph of high ideals."--_Baptist Standard_.
"Harold Bell Wright has told his story in a way to honor purity and
loveliness and to depict in their real colors their
opposites."--_Worcester Gazette_.
"The description is poetic and rich in literary merit, while the story
is full of action and purpose."--_Sacram
