In our November 1st issue there appeared a spe- 

 cial notice by Mr. A. 1. Root concerning that won- 

 derful book " The Story of the Bible," by Foster. 

 Our readers were informed that the regular price of 

 this book is §1.50, but that, through a special ar- 

 rangement with the publishers, we are privileged 

 to furnish one copy, postpaid, with Gleanings one 

 year, at only $1.74. A great many of our friends 

 who have never before had an opportunity to ob- 

 tain this volume, which contains more than 700 

 pages and 300 beautiful illustrations, have availed 

 themselves of our combination rate, and it is our 

 purpose in repeating this proposition to remind 

 those who may have the offer under consideration 

 that our present stock of "The Story of the Bible " 

 is being rapidly exhausted, and that copies of this 

 book Intended for Christmas presentation should 

 be ordered without delay. 



In this connection we want to repeat Mr. Root's 

 endorsement of Mr. Foster's inspired work, and to 

 suggest that no better Christmas gift for a child or 

 young man or young woman could possibly be 

 found. Please remember that the price is 81.74 for 

 the book with Gleanings one year, either new or 

 renewal subscription. Canadian postage on this 

 offer Is thirty cents extra; foreign countries, sixty 

 cents additional.
