mentary Principles Connected with the

''Come FORTH" by Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps and Herbert D. Ward. Boston
and New York. Houghton, Miffiin s. Co.
31S PIP. For sale at Judd's Price $1.25.)
The simple announcement of story from
the pen of Mrs. Phelps-Ward is sufficient
to attract attention. Readers, young and
title page gives evidence that the rare abil-
ity of the wife is supplemented by the
wide knowledge of Oriental matters in the
husband (who has travelled extensively in
the Holy Land), it is at least to be sup
posed that the book will be eminently
worthy of perusal. And SO it is, for, as
one reads of Mary and Martha, of Lazarus
and Lahara, the daughter of Annas. the
ex-high priest, and of the lovers healed by
the touch of Jesus, the heart is touched,
and even tears, with some, will attest the
power of the story to bring the events of
the New Testament vividly before the
mind, and lead those who thus behold the
wondrous works of the Healer to say,
with Peter, ''Thou art the Christ, the son
of the living God"
