Oeike's L,lle of Christ. In this 

 book we have a condensation of 

 the scholarship of about 300 of the 

 ^^^ greatest writers on biblical matters,— 

 German, French, and English. To 

 read it is practically to walk and talk with the 

 Christ of the gospels. With the hand of a master, 

 Geike weaves this mass of scholarship into a fabric 

 which is as interesting as any novel, and as full of 

 information regarding things as they existed in the 

 time of Jesus as any commentary can possibly be. 

 Geike is a giant in intellectual scope, and thorough- 

 ly orthodox in teaching; but with all this, his style i 

 is simple and easy of comprehension. Given for 

 two new names and yonr own renewal, or 

 sent postpaid for the price. 70 tents, or 10 cents less 

 when sent with other goods. 



THREE RE:ITIARKABL.E BOOKS. | 



The Storv of the Bible. This wonderful book 

 IS the production of Rev. Charles j 

 w?7;yo>^^^>^ Foster, of Philadelphia, lately j 

 V ^ ", A deceased. It is the whole Bi- 

 ov \ ble reproduced in simple lan- 



JJeX^^VBVxX guage, making a book of 

 TOO pages, illustrated with 

 274 engravings. It is so 

 plainly and pleasantly 

 written that grown people, 

 as well as children, will 

 hardly want to lay it down. In the hard passages 

 in the Bible, difficult to understand, it makes a com- 

 mentary that will be thankfully received by some 

 others besides children. Indeed, it has proven so 

 simple, reliable, and helpful, that it has been re- 

 printed in many foreign languages. It is a well-

First Steps for liittle Feet. This Is by the 

 same author, and is a collection of simple Bible 



I stories intended more especially for younger learn- 



I ers. Every child should have one of these to read; 



I 328 pages, and 140 illustrations. Very nicely printed, 

 and bound in cloth, title in gilt. Price 50 cents

I Fable»i« and Allegories; or, Ne«r Iiig;ht8 on 



Old Patlix. This is a most magniflcient book by 

 [ the same author. It measures 8 by 9H, hjl% inches 

 thick, and weighs 4 lbs. It is printed on very heavy 

 toned paper, with heavy gilt edges; is bound in 

 light-blue cloth, embossed in black and gold; con- 

 tains .513 pages and 350 original illustrations. The 

 subject-matter is a series of fables and allegories, 

 each giving a most wholesome moral lesson that 

 very few of us, old or young, do not need. This 

 book would be an ornament 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 beauti- 

 ful. The lessons taught are made much more 

 pungent by the pictures accompanying, as in many 

 cases the story Is more than half told in the pictures.

 agents for less than $4.00. Our price is $2.00. By 

 mail, 32 cts. extra, or given free for 6 subscribers,

THE POPULAR HISTORY OF THE CIVIL WAR.

Almost a multitiiile of books directlj- bearinji upon the Rebellion hara 

 been published. Yet it is our firm belief that the W.Tr Histories hereto- 

 fore published are but mea:;erly adapted to tlie -wants of the masses of 

 American citizens to-day; first, because thry are too exnensive, involving 

 an outlay frreater than the majority of people can alTord to make , and, sec- 

 ond, because thoy are too lensthy, going bo minutely into particular* 

 and details t'lat they become dry and uninteresting. This work is 

 most aptly nr.d appropriately entitled "The Popular History of thk 

 Civil. War," because It meets the popt/tar demand for an authentic hi.?- 

 tory of t'.io Rebellion, Tvritten in the most entertaining manner and pub- 

 lished Et a price within the reach of nil. The book is a thorough, com- 

 plete and aut'ientic history, not only of every important battle and naval 

 engasjement that occurred durinpr the war, but is likewise very complete 

 in its treatment of the political conditions, sectional differences and 

 other causes which brought on the great conflict It is just such a war 

 history as every American citizen should possess, and will prove of the 

 utmost intercbt and value, not only to those who well remember, and 

 some of whom participated in the war for tlie Union, but especially to that; 

 large class who have grown to manhood and womanhood long since tha 

 war closed. Tho new edition of this book, now offered, is greatly en- 

 larged, both as to Fize of page and number of pages, and contains, 

 in addition to the history proper, a sketch of The Orand Army of 

 the Republic, by a prominent officer of the oriranization, likewise an 

 appendix devoted to Anecdotes of the Rebellion, containing a 

 large collection of humorous, pailietic and thrilling narratives of actual 

 experiences during the war. "The Popular Histouy of Tiif Civil 

 War" is a large book of 544 pages, 12mo, handsomely printed in large
