receipt of goods, if that will be satisfactory; if- not, 

 send estimate, and I will cheerfully remit before 

 the goods are shipped." As a rule, I should say it 

 would 1 ! unwise to trust anj- man who "gets upon 

 his ear " when you ask him to give reference, or 

 make a simple statement of what he is worth, and 

 what his liabilities arc. 



THE SUND.4Y-SCHOOL TIMES. 



Thehe may be other periodicals in the world, 

 teaching purity of life, uprightness of conduct, and 

 progress everywhere in its best and truest sense, 

 as the Sunday-School Times docs, but I have not 

 found them. No matter what your political views 

 may be, the Sunday - School Times will not run 

 against them, nor prove offensive to you, and the 

 same may be said of religious denominations; but 

 for all that, it teaches most vehemently, on every 

 pzge and in every line, godliness and righteousness. 



I It seems to recognize that its ability to do good is 

 I greatly dependent on the wisdom in which it han- 

 , dies the difficult problems of the day; and while it 

 ! is fearless and unsparing in rebuking sin every- 

 where, it at the same time recognizes that to be 

 i human is to be sinful, and therefore a loving charity 

 and kindness seems to pervade and shine forth from 

 i its pages everywhere. Its pages maj- not be so at- 

 tractive to the average youth, especially on flrst ac- 

 quaintance, as many other publications that are 

 less scrupulous as to what they teach ; but if the pa- 

 per is read in the family, only a little by its differ- 

 ent members, good can not fail to be the result; and 

 by a little painstaking I think these younger ones 

 can be taught to love purity and truth and right- 

 eousness. The price is 1^2.00 a year; but by taking 

 j a large number of copies, and remailing them from 

 our office, we can send it to you for an even f 1.25.
