.sThe Child. Bible"

We have seen q number of abridged Bibles,
children's Bibles. Stories of the Bible, ETC.,
possessing more or less merit-some of them
very excellent, but noue worthy to be COM
pared with that which now lies before US
THE Child's Bible" from the publishing
house of Cassell d Co. We have examined 1t
with much pleasure, and would commend 1t
In unqualified terms. It IL indeed a marvel
GUS book-heavy fine paper. profusely illus
trated and that with remarkable skill and a.
deity, well and most attractively bound,
while the contents are precisely what they
fpurport to be /; 1t 10 not an unauthoriz ed. frsg
mentary and fanciful Interpretation of Bible
STORY" bur q real Child's Bible, giving the
Old and the New Testament scriptures with
such practical fulness as to impart clearly the
Bible history and to impress It's truths and
precepfs in their completeness; and that in
the precise language of the authorized YER
sion. Too much cannot be said of It. In these
days Of trashy literature and specious. doubt
full teaching, we could wish for nothing better
than that our children and youth might learn
OF drink with delight at the pure fountains
opened in the plain Word OF God. Tbs Chid's
Bible will inspire such love for the "old. old
story" 1t would be difficult to estimate the
permanent good to result from placing q copy
character of the book or of its value is to be
conveyed by brief description. 1t must be
seen to be fully appreciated. We commend 1t

town for = few days.
