Xlie Silver Cross, the official 

 organ of the " International Order of 

 The King's Daughters and Sons," is the 

 only journal that publishes the Popular 

 Drawing-Room Bible Talks of Mrs. 

 Margaret Bottome, President of the 

 Order. For many years Mrs. Bottome 

 has inspired large audiences to noble 

 living and unselfish service by these 

 familiar talks on Scripture topics. They 

 have been stenographically reported and 

 revised by the author for The Silver 

 Cross. This magazine is the only me- 

 dium of interchange between members 

 of the Order. Address, Silver Cross Pub. 

 Co., 158 W. 23rd St., New York.
