 Books for Nothing ! 



SUNDAY SCHOOL Superintendents, Teachers and Scholars, 

 are hereby notified that we propoie to sell our magnificent and 

 popular engraving of Thorwaldsen's 



CHRIST AND HIS APOSTLES, 



at such a price per hundred to Sunday Schools as will enable the 

 children to realize from their sale, at our own ordinary pricei, 

 the means to purchase 



A SUNDAY SCHOOL LIBEAKT. 



The profit on one hundred copies will secure 



One Hundred and Fifty Volumes 

 of excellent Sunday Sch'ol Books, and as the picture is in univer- 

 sal demand among Christian families of all denominations, none 

 of these institutioiis will find any difficulty in dispnsing • t at least 

 that number in the churches to which tiiey belong. One dollar 

 for a superb picture of first-class size, viz., three fett hy two, is a 

 sum so small in proportion to the actual value of such a beautiful 

 illuslrati<m of Gospel History, that parents are glad of an oppor- 

 tuiiily of supplying their families with such a subj;-ct for profita- 

 ble contemplation, and at the same time atfonlini; their children 

 an opportunity of assisting in the formation of a religious library 

 for their own spiritual anil mental profit.
