The Beautiful Story. !"

Like love itself, the Bible never grows
old, but retains its freshness forever
because it is like a reflection or echo
from tha human heart when singing its
sweetest songs.
In The Beautiful Story" we b ave
the first attempt to utilize the vast
storehouse of romance, tender pafhos
and strange adventure that is found
within the lids of the sacred book. The
authors purpose was to make q book
so beautiful. thrilling ana interesting
that its charms would attract the
young, lead them to read and love the
Bible, and at the same time bring out III
clearer and stronger light the wonder
full hidden beauties of the Inspired
Word. Thus the work becomes the
great COMPANION book to the Holy
Bible, beginning with the creation of
the void, and combining in picLur-
esque narratives all the Bibles history,
stories and commentaries; preserving
thesequence of each incident from Gen
esis to Revelations. Each event is thus
described in the language which would
be employed TO record the same had
they occurred 10 our own tiuie. The
value and in crest of this sllendid book
will immediately appear to every chris
tian who de!ign's ~ reading the Scrip
lures as GUi't Word. while to those
who read only for information as well
as the pleasure that such history NJ
fords, the advantage is equally import
ant The illustrations are of the best.
and the book must meet with q ready
sale Wherever it is introduced. w. J.
S,oan is the agent for Utah.
