Price S1.5O.
For sale by WEST, JOHNSTON Il Co.
The author died few months ago just
as his book was going through the press,
and his daughter, ELIZABETH STUART
PHELPS WARD, undertook the duty OF
revising the proof-sheets, but she says :;
"His cleatness OF purpose, exactness OF
method, even the well-known beauty OF
that chirography which was always the
delight of his printers, have made these
labors as light as the anxiety to have
everything as he would wish it may per-
nit"
Professor PHELPS was the pastor OF
the Pine-Street Congregational church,
in Boston, for many years, and from 1t
went to Andover Seminary, first as pro-
lessor of sacred rhetoric and then as
president. From 1879 to his death he
was professor emeritus. He was pro-
life writer of theological and homiIetical
works, and was recognized by the world,
even by those who could not accept his
views as an earnest, scholarly, and able
man. One Of the chapters OF this book
is on "Methodism-Its Works and It's
Ways" and the magnificent service "
it has done "the church universal"

that it is by master workman, and will

The other Mans Wife. By JoHS
STRANGE WINTER. j. b. Lippincott
Company, Philadelphia, publishers.
90 cents.
The lady who hides behind this mas
culine pen-name has produced several
very clever and entertaining novels,
"Bootle's Baby" being the best known
and liked. She is especially conversant
with military life, and most OF her cha
racters are military people. Her latest
story is of an unhappy marriage, due to
a matchmaking mamma, its dissolution
by murder, and the final union OF the
right parties The style is bright and
lively and the characters are natural. A
true touch is the rescue OF the wife from
infdelity. She goes to the brink, but
does not topple over. Not all unhappy
wives are unfaithful.
