While the contents of this unpretending vo lume exhibit a great variety, it is believed they will' be found not only unexceptionable, but decidedly, good in their tendency. Articles distinguished for plainness and Simplicity in style have, in all cases, been preferred to pieces above the capacities and unadapted to the feel-5 ings of children.

Excerpt from The Story of Anna the Prophetess
The character of Anna the prophet ess, so far as -i know, has received very little attention. This book is a feeble attempt to bring that eminent saint into notice. If it serves to draw attention to the sacred volume, and to inspire any with love for the more careful perusal of its pages, it will not be Written Wholly in vain.

The present work was originally published, in four small volumes, by the Religious Tract Society of London.
On examination, it has been found well adapted to supply a previous lack in the current literature of the age.
We take pleasure in placing the work before American readers in a more convenient form than that of its first publication, and trust that it will be extensively perused by young and old throughout our land. N o nation ought to be better acquainted than ours with the history of the Popes, and the sys tem of religion of which they are acknowledged heads; for none has more to fear from the move ments of Romanists.

There was a king who feared a prophet because he was a holy man, and did many things, and heard him gladly. Did all this avail him aught?

A Treatise on Homiletics: Designed to Illustrate the True Theory and Practice of Preaching the Gospel

Daniel Parish Kidder was an American clergyman and educator. He served as a missionary in Brazil and as a corresponding secretary of the Methodist Sunday School Union. He was a professor of homiletics in Garrett Biblical Institute and in Drew Theological Seminary.
Background
Daniel Parish Kidder was born on October 18, 1815, of early New England stock at South Pembroke, now Darien, Genesee County, New York, United States to Selvey and Mehetabel (Parish) Kidder. His boyhood was passed in an uncle's family in Randolph, Vermont.
Education
From the age of fourteen Kidder taught school, attended country academies, read books, and earned his living. From Genesee Wesleyan Seminary at Lima, New York, he entered Hamilton College in 1833 as a sophomore. Though his father was opposed to the Methodist doctrine, the son was converted at Lima and brought under the conviction that he should be a minister. In pursuance of this object he transferred to Wesleyan University, where he was graduated in 1836.
Career
In 1836 Kidder started to teach French, mathematics, and ancient languages in the Amenia Seminary, New York and began to preach. He was eager to go to China as a missionary, but the way was closed and he joined the Genesee Conference and received a charge in Rochester, New York, whence he was drafted in 1837 for a new Methodist mission in Brazil. From Rio de Janeiro he traveled extensively, distributing the Scriptures and Portuguese tracts, and preaching wherever a Protestant could command a hearing. In 1840, on the death of his wife, Kidder returned to the United States. Joining New Jersey Conference, he served churches in Paterson and Trenton.
In 1844 his denomination elected him, when barely twenty-eight years old, secretary of its Sunday School Union and editor of the literature of its Sunday schools. He gave himself with enthusiasm to this work, then quite unorganized. After twelve years in this office (1844 - 1856) he entered the service of theological education. He taught practical theology in Garrett Biblical Institute, Evanston, Illinois, 1856-1871, and in Drew Theological Seminary, Madison, New Jersey, 1871-1881. Not an extraordinary preacher himself, he had the gift of teaching others the art of preaching. In 1880 he was elected secretary of the Board of Education of his Church. He filled this office with distinction until the failure of his health in 1887 forced him to retire. He then went to reside at Evanston, Illinois, where he died four years later.
Kidder was a thorough workman rather than an innovator, and the remarkable developments in the field of religious education which his successors introduced were largely due to the solid educational foundations which he had prepared. Of his many books, one of the most popular was Sketches of Residence and Travel in Brazil (1845). Another, Brazil and the Brazilians (1857), on which he collaborated with J. G. Fletcher, was long a standard work. He was a delegate to the General Conference of his denomination in 1852 and 1868.
Achievements
During his tenure in Sunday School Union, Kidder made the Catechism an available textbook for Sunday schools, provided a Sunday-school hymnal, developed the system of raising funds for the extension work of the Sunday School Union, and systematized the method of gathering the statistics of the Sunday school. He was also a pioneer in Sunday-school normal conventions and institute work. He edited the Sunday School Advocate and supervised hundreds of publications for the church libraries. Kidder's most popular book was "Sketches of Residence and Travels in Brazil".
Daniel Parish was a memeber of the American Methodist Episcopal church.
Connections
Kidder was twice married: in 1836 to Cynthia H. Russell, of Salisbury, Connecticut, who died in Brazil; and in 1842 to Harriette Smith, Principal of Worthington (Ohio) Female Seminary.
