From an advertisement in Social Service Review , Volumes 2 [1915]: "The Longing of an Awakened World" Owen Wister's new book The Pentecost of Calamity "Not since Mercier, Archbishop of Malines, gave his now famous pastoral letter to the world, has more eloquence and truth been compressed into so small a space." Wherever it has been read "The Pentecost of Calamity" has made a profound impression: "In this book speaks the man, not the diplomat *** the interpreter of the feelings of the American who comprehends the divinity that is in history." - Boston Advertiser "MR. WISTER's ARTISTIC POWER AT ITS BEST. He may well be congratulated upon having voiced the opinion and feelings of all those of his American countrymen who, proud of the Nation's past, hold that you 'cannot pay too high for the finding and keeping of your own soul.' " - Philadelphia Ledger "Mr. Wister's ideas are garbed in fine and colorful prose, INFORMED BY BROAD AND DISCERNING SYMPATHIES." - Philadelphia Press "NOTABLE *** unmistakable sincerity and SPLENDID literary workmanship." - Kansas City Star "Written with SUSTAINED CHARM and freshness of insight." - N. Y. Times "REMARKABLE *** We wish it could be read in full by every American. -The Outlook "One of the most striking and moving utterances. *** Let All Americans Read It." - The Congregationalist "We are thankful that one of America's greatest writers HAS POINTED OUT OUR IDEALS." -Christian Register "Owen Wister SEES AND SPEAKS AS A PROPHET *** WITH RARE SPIRITUAL INSIGHT and sympathy. *** I am glad we have an American writer able to speak the voiceless longing of an awakened world. -The Rev. Charles A. Eaton Already in the Fifth Edition "The Pentecost of Calamity" By Owen Wister "A flaming thing, itself a tongue of Pentecost"
