He was converted in 1813, and united with the church in 1834…later he engaged in the business of engraving at Andover. In 1825 he was appointed agent of the General Depository of the American Tract Society in New York, which formed in that year…Harlan Page embraced every opportunity of doing good to his fellow-men, and made use of many instrumentalities. The means which he employed were writing letters, distributing tracts, teaching or in superintending Sabbath-schools, holding prayer-meetings, and personal conversation with those around him. The numerous letters which he wrote to unconverted persons are models of personal exhortation and appeal. Plain, but courteous; pointed, but kind and gentle, they seldom failed to produce lasting impressions and convictions. It is said that he was instrumental in the conversion of more than one hundred persons.” – M’Clintock \u0026amp; Strong. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis \u003cem\u003eMemoir\u003c\/em\u003e, by William Hallock, is number 2553 in Roberts’ \u003cem\u003eRevival Literature: An Annotated Bibliography\u003c\/em\u003e, where Roberts remarks, “Page was involved in the revival of 1831.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haaswurth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45700119920706,"sku":"ABE12459","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0191\/6066\/2082\/files\/DSC09318BackgroundRemoved.png?v=1792690511","url":"https:\/\/www.haaswurth.com\/products\/memoir-of-harlan-page-the-power-of-prayer-and-personal-effort-for-souls","provider":"Haaswurth Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
