The ^' Home* Collide SEifcifeS" will contain one hundred short papers on 

 n wide range of subjects— biographical, historical, scientific, literary, domes- 

 tic, political, and religious. Indeed, the religious tone will characterize all 

 of them. They are written for every body — for all whose leisure is limited, 

 but who desire to use the minutes for the enrichment of life. 



These papers contain seeds from the best gardens in all the world of 

 human knowledge, and if dropped wisely into good soil, wi'l bring forth 

 harvests of beauty and value. 



They are for the young — especially for young people (and older people, 

 too) who are out of the schools, who are full of " business" and "cares," 

 who are in danger of reading nothing, or of reading a sensational literature 

 \hat is w T orse than nothing. 



One of these papers a week read over and over, thought and talked about 

 at "odd times," will give in one year a vast fund of information, an intel- 

 lectual quickening, worth even more than the mere knowledge acquired, a 

 taste for solid reading, many hours of simple and wholesome pleasure, and 

 ability to talk intelligently and helpfully to one's friends. 



Pastors may organize " Home College " classes, or " Lyceum Reading 

 Unions," or "Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circles," and help the 

 young people to read and think and talk and live to worthier purpose. 



A young man may have his own little "college" all by himself, read this 

 series of tracts one after the other, (there will soon be one hundred of them 

 ," r$$dy,) examine himself, on them by the " Thought-Outline to Help the Mem. 

 ory," and thus gain knowledge, and, what is better, a love of knowledge. 



And what a 3 r oung man may do in this respect, a young woman, and both 



old menVnd oM women,' may do.
