The most complete New Testament that
has been offered to the people of Juniats
county is "Abbott's Illustrated New Testa-
ment." The book contains so full-page
maps and engravings. The explanatory
notes are most satisfactory. Another inter-
esting feature of the book is q history of the
English translation of the Bible. Another
prominent feature is chapter devoted to
the prominet men and women of the New
Testament. 1t should be in every house,
and if you have no complete New Testa-
can receive Abbott's by addressing G. w.
Van-Ormer, Cocolamus, Juniara Co., Pa.
