One of the best pieces of devotional literature for the Christmas holidays that we have seea in many a long day. There is nothing maudlin nor tactless in this little book. The tone is poetic and imaginative; it is also bracing. . . . Altogether, ''The Lost Word '' is a reverent, healthy, manly tribute to the Christmas spirit, which every one who is interested in the imaginative treatment of religious topics will find wholly admirable.
