A VERY SPECIAL OFFER ON "TEACHERS' BIBLES."

----------

The agents for the Bagster Bible propose that hereafter they will publish them in the United States. With this in view they have sold us a large lot of their English publication at very low prices. We offer our subscribers the advantage;--new subscribers may have the same privilege.

We can supply you the Comprehensive Teacher's Bible, size 13 x 9-1/2 in. when open, with concordance, index, Bible atlas, etc., etc. This is the No. 8315 (Minion type), the retail list price of which was $3.30, and which in our price list was $1.90. We can now offer it for $1.25, plus 22 cents postage. (French Seal, round corners, divinity circuit, red under gilt edges.)

We have another specialty, still better, as far as binding is concerned. It is an American "Oxford" Teachers' Bible, complete in every respect. It has an additional feature not possessed by the English Oxford; namely, in it the proper names are syllabled and accented, much to the readers' convenience. Its list retail price is $4.00. We can supply it, by special arrangement of a large purchase, at $1.75, postage 25 cents. This Bible has much larger type than usual for its size (13 x 9-1/2 in. when open). The type is known as Bourgeois. The binding is Imperial Seal--divinity circuit, linen lined, round corners, red under gold edges. The leather of this would probably be more durable than that of the Bagster mentioned above. With Patent Index, 50 cents more.

"In a service that His love appoints
There are no bonds for me;
For my secret heart is taught the truth
That makes His children free.
And a life of self-renouncing love
Is a life of liberty."

----------

Let us not be ashamed of the true gospel, nor of any of its agents or agencies. He who is ashamed of the brother or sister or tract or book through which God was pleased to send him the truth, shows clearly that, had he lived in the days of our Lord's humiliation, he would have been ashamed of him, and of the humble men whom he chose and used to promulgate his gospel in the beginning. The truth is not intended for the proud or the dishonest. God hides his truth from the worldly wise and prudent, and reveals it unto babes. (Luke 10:21; 1 Cor. 1:19.) By candor and humility and zeal let us keep ourselves in the love of God and continue to walk in the light.

----------

"Thou must be true thyself
If thou the truth wouldst teach,
Thy soul must overflow, if thou
Another soul wouldst reach;
It needs the overflow of heart
To give the lips full speech.

"Think truly, and thy thoughts
Shall the world's famine feed;
Speak truly, and each word of thine
Shall be a faithful seed;
Live truly, and thy life shall be
A great and noble creed."
