[*] Swing, David. Truths leaf by leaf, with a characterization by Newell Dwight Hillis, and introd. by Frank Wakeley Gunsaulus; also a poem by Dr. Gunsaulus; ed. by Sophie Burt Kimball. $1.50. S. B. Kimball, Chicago.
“When proceedings against David Swing for heresy resulted in his quitting the Presbyterian church, thirty years ago, and forming the Central Congregational church in Chicago, it was a clear gain both for preacher and people. His sermons, attractive in their breadth of view and depth of feeling, and distinguished by their literary quality, drew congregations with an unusually large proportion of men, and were regularly printed in his weekly paper, the ‘Alliance.’ The present volume draws its contents from ‘his most mature and last unpublished writings.’ Characterizations of the beloved preacher by his like-minded successors, Drs. Hillis and Gunsaulus, supply the personal element required for an adequate memorial.”—Outlook.
[*] “Beauty, spirituality, the value of high ideals in life and thought, fill these inspiring pages.”
