OUT OF THE MANY EARNEST AND EMPHATIC ENDORSEMENTS OF "GOLDEN DAYS,"
WE PRINT THE FOLLOWING:

*A GOOD OPINION FROM REV. G. E. STROBRIDGE,*

_Pastor St. John's M. E. Church, New York city._

GOLDEN DAYS has been coming regularly to my house since its first
number. It is always welcome. The children wait with impatience its
weekly arrival, and even interrupt their meals to tear off its wrapper
and scan its attractive pages. It is generously illustrated, and as to
its reading matter, it is bright, breezy, instructive, and, best of all,
pure. The most careful parent may dismiss anxiety while his happy child
is absorbed in its columns.

A feature that adds to the paper an especial value is a weekly
discussion of the International Sunday-school Lesson. This is given in a
pleasant narrative style by Rev. D. P. Kidder, D.D., for many years
editor of the Sunday School Advocate, and editor and writer of books for
children. His widely-known name is a sufficient assurance that these
lessons thus conducted will continue to be learned, clear and
interesting.

*From the West Philadelphia Press.*

GOLDEN DAYS.--This weekly journal for young people has reached a
circulation that embraces the entire country. Indeed, there is hardly to
be found a village or hamlet in the newest of the States or in our far
Western Territories in which GOLDEN DAYS is not a welcome visitor. The
proprietor and editor, Mr. James Elverson, determined from the first to
make it a journal that should please and at the same time instruct the
young, and he has been completely successful. There is no weekly paper
published in this or the Old World that so covers the field for the
youthful mind as GOLDEN DAYS. There is nothing heavy about it--nothing
prosy or difficult to comprehend in the matter it contains. Its stories
are graphic, entertaining and by the best writers, while each number has
articles especially prepared on subjects of practical interest to boys
and girls by authors whose fame in the arena of natural history,
science, biography and art is national. Add to all these excellencies
and attractions the fact that no impure line or thought ever stains its
pages, and it must be acknowledged that GOLDEN DAYS is pre-eminently
fitted to become the intellectual and pleasant companion of the young in
the American household.
