His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury.
"I am grateful to you for sending me the series of leaflets entitled ' Duty and Discipline.' I have read most of them, and am struck with the vigour, the wisdom, the interest, and the common sense which mark the publications. I hope the leaflets will have a wide circulation, and fulfil the purpose for which they are designed."
The Rev. Prebendary Carlile,
Founder and Honorary Chief Secretary of the Church Army.
"Prebendary Carlile will certainly be glad to contribute a leaflet to the ' Duty and Discipline' series. He entirely agrees in thinking that the want of discipline in early life is one of the most fruitful causes of the moral and physical distress of the times."
The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Carpentaria, D.D.
(Australia).
" I am in absolute accord with the ' Duty and Discipline ' pamphlets. You will see what I feel by pages 5 to 9 of the enclosed booklet."
The Right Rev. W. Boyd Carpenter, D.D., late Bishop of Ripon; Canon of Westminster.
"Yes, by all means add my name."
His Grace the Most Rev. William M. Carter, D.D.,
Archbishop of Cape Town.
"I have to thank you for your kind letter and for the 'Essays on Duty and Discipline' which you have been good enough to send me.
"The Essays are on subjects which cannot but make for much good, and I hope that they have been and are being widely read. Everything that helps to promote and maintain the purity of family life, and the upbringing of children to give of their best in the service of God and man, is to be most heartily welcomed."
The Right Hon. Austen Chamberlain, P.C., M.P., late
Chancellor of the Exchequer.
"The subject matter of your 'Duty and Discipline' series appears to me most important ; your aims are excellent, and the papers themselves full of interest."
The Rev. A. St. John Chambre, D.D.. of Lowell,
Massachusetts, United States.
"I fully and unreservedly approve of and commend the purpose in view of the leaflets entitled ' Duty and Discipline.' I shall be glad to see them take an 'International' form ; for the conditions calling for them in England obtain in great strength in this country."
The Rev, Hugh B. Chapman
(Royal Chapel of the Savoy).
"Just a line to thank you for the excellent packet of pamphlets and to say how entirely I agree. I should like to get them spread broadcast about the country, and if in any way you can use me, or this Chapel, towards the furtherance of the ideal which you represent, it is entirely at your disposal,"
The Right Hon. Lord Justice Cherry, P.C., LL.D., K.C.,
High Court of Appeal in Ireland.
"The series of leaflets on the training and discipline of children, which you kindly sent me, will, I am sure, when circulated, do much good. The passing of the Children's Act by Parliament in 1908 has awakened the conscience of the nation as to its duty towards the younger members of the community in a remarkable way, and the importance of impressing upon parents their respon-sibility in the bringing up of their children cannot be exaggerated. The family,' as it has been well said, ' is the germ-cell of the nation,' and unless we have a healthy and well-regulated family life we cannot hope, no matter how much we may multiply institu¬tions ' for the training of the young, to continue to be a vigorous and progressive people."
The Dowager Countess of Chichester
(Central President of Mothers' Union).
"I must apologise for not having answered your letter and acknowledged the leaflets you sent me sooner, but I have been very busy with the Central Council, Conference, etc., of the Mothers' Union.
"I need hardly say that I am in full sympathy with your object, and constantly recommend your leaflets and distribute them."
The Right Hon. Winston Churchill, P.C., M.P.,
First Lord of the Admiralty.
"I have read the papers you have been good enough to send me, and with much interest. The lack of any effective educational and disciplinary control over boys from the time they leave the schools till they become workmen is one of the most serious features of the present situation. But I should not wish my opinion on this matter to be used upon my authority as an argument in favour of conscription."
Mrs. Chaloner Chute,
President of the Central Council of the Girls' Friendly Society.
"I think the publications in the Duty and Discipline' series are excellent, and heartily wish them a large circulation."
