Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Otterbein Birthday Book: Containing Selections From the Writings of a Large Number of Men and Women Active and Useful in Christian Work The anniversaries of our birth are among the happy days of life. They furnish occasions for family reunions, social gatherings, expressions of affection and esteem, and the bestowment of gifts, together with the narration of pleasing reminiscences. Hence it is that a book in which to chronicle the birthdays of friends soon acquires an interest and value which attach to but few other books. In the course of years such a book becomes a treasure whose worth is above computation. Then, too, the modern birthday book, unlike those of former times, has become the receptacle of the choicest utterances of noble thinkers and actors. This gives to such a volume intrinsic and practical worth. The design of the compiler of this book has been to put upon every page some word of wisdom, some inspiring sentiment, or some suggestive thought which will contribute worthy incentives to an earnest and useful life. Such words, sentiments, and thoughts abound in the following pages, and it is to be hoped that all who come to possess the book may find many promptings to a strong and hearty purpose to walk in the ways of virtue and true nobility. The autographs of a few persons are given under the dates of their birth, thus serving to show how the names of friends may be recorded in the blank spaces of the book. The names of nearly two hundred others, who are widely known in consequence of their Christian character and usefulness, are printed under the dates of their birth. The book is intended as an autograph album as well as a book for birthday records, and will make a most suitable holiday or birthday present. There is something in it for everybody, old and young, something helpful and good for every day in the year.
