This sermon, preached from the text, “Overcome evil with good” appears uniform with the “What is worth while series.”

Uniform with “Fisherman’s luck” and “Little rivers.” The “days off” are “more or less occupied with fishing, with now and then a bit of hunting, one long drive over the glorious English roads among the Quantock hills, one woodland excursion between the lupin and the laurel with no record of killing, and one or two chats on bookish subjects.” (N. Y. Times.)
“Mr. Van Dyke writes of these jaunts with a taking measure of fancifulness, and a flavour of bookishness which is agreeably elusive.”

“One does not need to read far in ‘Days off’ before he comes upon the secret of its vitality and interest; it is revealed in a phrase—‘no vacation is perfect without a holiday in it.’”
