burg, translated by Mrs. j. w. Davis.
with photogravure illustrations. vol,
l2mO, half bound, S1.25; or i'll
fancy covers, 70 cents. A capital
novel, written in the style that has
given the author such well-deserved
reputation. 1t contains beautiful de-
scriptions, is full of incident. and is a
clean, bright story. Especially the char
acter of the Little Lady of the Abbey is

pleasing book from cover to cover.
~
sour Christian Heritage" by his en-
inence Cardinal Gibbons. A portrait
of the author in h is cardinal robes. ele-
gantly Drinte in cOlors, will accompany
each book. The book does not deal
with the controversies agitated since
the Reformation, nor aim at vindlcating
the claims of The Catholic church as supe-
riOr TO those of the separate branches OF
Christianity. 1t has nothing to say
against any denomination that still re-
tainS faith in at least the divine missile on
of Jesus Christ. The book shows that
such fundamental truths underlying
Christianity as the existence. the prOvi-
dence and the omniscience of God. the
Immortality of the soul, The existence
of free-will, and the essential distnc-
ton between good and evil, are all
susceptible of being demonstrated by
unaided reason. while they are made
still more luminous by the light of
Christian revelation. The volume con-
tains series of chapters exhibiting the
sup 'riOrity of Christian over pagan civ
illzation. There is an important chap
ter on labor.
