I can say of him what G.K. Chesterton said of H.G. Wells, 
you can almost hear his mind growing

My dear Mr. Burke, re:  Maurice Hindus




I do not know a young man here or in Europe whose mind I respect more and whose style — spoken or written — I more greatly admire.  I like him best for his obvious capacity for growth.  I have known him for a good many years and I can say of him as G. K. Chesterton said of H. G. Wells, 
You can almost hear his mind growing.
  He has intellectual honesty.  There is the feel of responsibility to his mental processes.  He is an uncannily accurate observer and reporter.  His discussions — spoken or written — are crowded with details, but not the dead sort of details in which a statistical mind delights.  His sense of color, of character, and of human values keeps his details alive.




I have just accepted for publication in the Century Magazine an article on Russia's challenge to Christianity, which I regard as one of the most accurately conceived and vividly written articles that has passed over my desk since I became editor of this magazine.




Very sincerely yours,

Glenn Frank

We all got more in an hour from Hindus than we would have got from a tour of Russia.  The moral of this is—stay out of Russia and hear Hindus.—

M. G. HINDUS

A magnificent orator, lucid, witty, impassioned— yet always fair-minded



M
R. HINDUS was born in a Russian village.  At the age of fourteen he migrated to this country.  For several years he worked as a laborer on farms.  Then he went to Colgate University from which he graduated with high honors.  He continued his studies at the Graduate School of Harvard.  Since leaving school he has attained high distinction as a speaker and writer.  His articles have appeared in leading American journals, 
The Century, The Yale Review, Current History, The Saturday Review,
 and others.



He is the author of a book on the Russian Peasantry which is regarded as a classic the world over.  His studies of our Immigration and Americanization movements and the inter-racial relations and attitudes of Nordics and Non-Nordics, stamp him as one of the sanest and most constructive thinkers of the country.



He is the first English-speaking journalist who has made a first hand study of the Russian peasant since the overthrow of the Czar.  He went from village to village on horseback and on foot, lived and worked with peasants in the fields so as to learn from them directly how they reacted to the Revolution, the Soviets, America, etc... A keen interpreter, an imaginative observer, an accomplished linguist, he is also a magnificent speaker, fluent, lucid, witty, impassioned, and above all fair-minded.  His lectures are truly prophetic revelations.




From the Late Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus



The late Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus after hearing Mr. Hindus lecture said 
What a young man!  Lit up with a gracious humor, and riven by a falchion-like wit, the serious and enthralling picture he leaves with audiences often reminds me of similar achievements by Tchaikovsky in music or Tolstoy in literature.







Truly a revelation and a prophecy
