BOOKS FOR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS 



We have purchased only one new book this 

 yeai' specially foi' the lioliilays. It is, 



AN ILLUSTE.ITE]> PILGEIM'S PSOaSESS. A nice book for 

 a small sum. A few Sundays ago 1 took a notion to 

 read the Pilgiim's Progress over again. I got it 

 down and tried to see how iminy of the references to 

 Bible texts I could repeat frtim the knowledge of the 

 Bible 1 have gained .since I I'cad the Pilgrim's Prog- 

 ress when I was a child. 1 was very much pleased to 

 tind out, with a Bible riglit at hand, that I could re- 

 peat most of them— at leas: in sulistance. The bo;)k 

 I was using had perhaps half a dozen illustrations in 

 it. I finally said aloud to my wife, " Oh, I do wish 

 tliat somebody would give us a Pilgrim's Progress 

 full of pictures from beginning to end!" I want a 

 nice lai-ge book that would be full of attraction to 

 every child, and with pictures of such a nature that 

 they would encourage wholesome truth and Bilile 

 prei-epts, even to those who can not read. Well, now, 

 it is a little funny, that, almost the very next day, 

 the book I had been longing for was )iut into niy 

 hands. It is from the Charles Foster Publishing Co., 

 Philadelnhia, where the Story of the Bible comes 

 from. The book is ^H inches long, IK wide, and I'^^i 

 thirk. It has 425 pages and 17.') illustrations. Ever 

 so many, to whom I have shown it, pronounce it a 

 •1f2.00 or a i2..50 book; but by buying a very lai-ge 

 number of them at a time we can sell them to you 

 for only 75 cents. The book is .so heavy, however, 

 that it can not be sent by mail for less than 2l) cents, 

 making 95 cents by mail, postpaid. The covers are 

 most beautifully cmbellislied iif scarlet and gold, 

 and many of the pictures ai-e worth to me alone the 

 price of the book. Among them I would mention 

 Christian and Pliable in the Slough of Despond; Mr. 

 Worldly Wiseman; Giant Despair, etc. But the 

 sweetest and best of then all to me, is Pi'udence 

 talking to the boys A single glance at the book by 

 anybody, whHii you nientioi the insigniticent pi-ice 

 for so beautiful a volume, will mike him holdup 

 his hands in astonishment. We send a book as a 

 premium for three subscriptions at Sl.OJeaeh; or 

 .send us fl. 7.") and we will send you GfvK.\NiNGS foi' 

 lM)i and the book, po.stpaid. If you want something 

 e.vtra nice for a present, we can send you one with 

 gilt edges for 25 cents more.

 Foster, of Philadelphia, lately 

 deceased. It is the whole Bi- 

 tih' reproduced in simple lan- 

 liviage, making a book of 700 

 pages, illustrated with 274 

 engravings. It is so plainly 

 and i)leasantly written that 

 grown people as well as 

 children, will liardly want 

 to lay it down. In the hard 

 passages in the Bible, diffi- 

 cult to understand, it 

 makes a commentary that will be thankfully I'e- 

 ceived by some others besides childi'cn. Indeed, it 

 has proven so simple, relial)le, and heljif ul, that it 

 has been reprinted in many foreign languages. It is 

 a well made book, printed on tine paper. Regular 

 agent's price is $1.5'J. Our price is $1.00; 15 cents ex-

 them; by J, G. Wood, autlioi' of "Illustrated Natu- 

 ral History." If you are interested in na.tural history

 coming more familiar with its animals. Regular

 wholesome mor;il les.son that very few of us, old or 

 young, do not need. This b;)Ok would be an orna- 

 ment on the center-table in any home; and if read 

 and pondered, and its lessons put into practice, 

 many hearts would become more lovely, and many 

 homes more pleasant and beautiful. The lessons 

 taught are made much more pungent by the pic- 

 tures accompanying, as in many cases tlie stor.y is 

 more than half told in the pictures. So large and 

 nite-looking a book is rarely sold by agents for less
