THE WORLD 
FAMOUS 
ADDRESSES: 
By HENRY DRUMMOND, F. R. S. E., F. G. S. 
It was a sad Instance of vegetable de 
pravlty when the first apple tried to destroy 
the first fair.— Life. 
A SECRET.—She: “How softly the breeze 
whispt rs over this field.” He: “Yes dear 
—but the corn Is all ears you know !”—Ll/e. 
It is a mistake about it being unhealthy 
to sleep in feathers. Look at the spring 
chicken and see how tough he is .—Rich 
mond Recorder. 
FLORIST : “ What was the man klckiDg 
about you sold the roses to ? ” Boy : “ He 
wanted to know if they were fast colors ; 
said the last he got faded.”— Puck. 
“HUMOR Is the most powerful thing in 
the world,” remarked Cnmso. “ How do you 
make that out ? ” asked Fangle. “ It over¬ 
comes the law of gravity.”— Harper's Iia 
zar. 
SHE: “Papa, may I marry Jack? I 
could go further and fare worse.” He: 
“ You couldn’t fare worse.” She: “Then 
what’s the use of my going further ? ”— 
Judge. 
Change of Base —Nurse Girl: “ Why 
don’t ye put that brat to sleep, an’ have 
a good time while yer in th’ park?” Ex 
Nnrse Girl : “ It’s me own .”—New York 
Weekly. 
Because She Released Him.—“ Before 
we were married,” she said, “ his displays 
of affection were positively overdone.” 
“And now?” “They are very rare.”— 
Detroit Free Press. 
In The Pullman Car.—T he Tourist : 
•* Yes, nice grass, that. Bat over in Eng¬ 
land there are lawns that are over 200 years 
old. What do you think of that ? ” The 
Trifler: “ Think 1 I think it’s a case of 
green old ag e.”—Pittsburg Bulletin. 
Style vs. Comfort.—M rs. De Style (first 
day on the farm): “ Horrors ! Our host 
is going to eat dinner in his shirt sleeves.” 
Mr. De Style (mopping his forehead): 
“Thank heaven ! Then I can, too.”—New 
York Weekly. 
Another Change of Base.—“ What do 
you think of Smith?” “I think hp is a 
bright fellow.” “Well, you know he doesn’t 
speak well of you ? ” “ What do you suppose 
I care what an ass like Smith thinks of 
me ? "—Harpers Bazar. 
AN Ancient Precedent —Jumpuppe : 
“ A man may be an ass, but no one finds it 
out if be keeps his mouth shut.” Knock¬ 
out: “No; and it is the same with real 
as^es. No one would ever have heard of 
Balaam’s ass if he hadn’t started to talk.”

The Greatest Thing 
in the World. 
Pax Vobiscum, 
The Changed Life 
FIRST !-A Talk with 
Boys; 
How to Learn How— 
Quite recently Professor Drummond electrified the English speaking, and, indeel, all 
Christian peoples, by a series of original and brilliant discourses on Bible themes that 
justly rank him among the first scholars and thinkers of the day. In these discourses he 
uses the most familiar texts with astonishing results. Learned men find in them a beamy 
of speech and sublimity of sentiment that draw the warmest praises. Happily they are 
adapted to every day uses. Every thought and word is on a level with the commonest 
understanding. Without pasting as sermons they are jewels of truth, reservoirs of 
enlightenment, and springs of encouragement and comfort for the thirsty pilgrim. They 
touch all the hearts by their pathos, energy and appeals to duty. 
For the first time these remarkable works are grouped in one volume, and published 
in a permanent attractive form. The low price should place a copy of DRUMMOND’S 
ADDRESSES in the hand of every believer and non-believer in the land.
