Our Country's Future,

Or, Great National Questions, is
the title of Mr.. Habberton's new
book. treating of some of the more
important social, political and bust
ness questions of the day. The work
embodies tbs opinions of more than
Que hundred of our national leaders,
and is, on this account, of much
more than ordinary interest. Not
only in what he has acritten, but also
in bringing together the opinions of
such eminent men as Bishop Foss,
President Harrison Ex-President
Cleveland, Cardinal Gibson, DR..
Wayland Hoyt, Talmage, Conw ell,
Bishop Potter, Powderly and others,
concerning these vital topics of the
day, Mr.. Habberton has done the
public good service. We under
stand that the book is to treat Of
marriage, divorce, the rum power,
abor. annexation, our coast defences,
peculation, sorrows OF the city
poor and other topics that would
naturally have bearing upon the
present and future prosperity of
our people.
This volume will give to the
reader vast fund of information
on all these sub iects that are so
frequently coming up in the news
papers and periodicals; and the man
who reads it Understandings, will
find himself we'll informed on all
these important questions of the
day. Not only this but he will
have his information fsom the most
reliable source. The authorities
quoted are eminent in Church and
state, they have devoted years to
the study of these subjects, and their
suggestions and notes of warning
should be carefully read and needed
by al who arc interested in the
continued stability and prosperity
of our country. We know OF no
other book that will contain 50
much late reliable information on
these topics.
Mr.. Habberton is popular author
and bright journalist, and, all in all
this volume will be found exceeding
ly interesting and suggestive. sold
