Of the redeemad and from all these rich

Incidents. Stranger stories are here told
than romance ever dreamed of, every
one of them drawn from real life by
woman's hand. In every chapter she
weaves in auecdOte after anecdote, in

Rev. DR.. Ey man Abbott's lifelong in.
terest in City Mission work, and his
personal share in that work, pre-. .emi-
--nently fitted him to write for this book.
Ia his Introduction to it he says
my interest in these phases of city

that day to this--orer third of a century,
1 have continued the studies then begun,
and the subject Of this book has been
one of the great subjects of my study
sometimes in literature, often in life."
No appea! from temperance advocates
can do more to promote the cause Of
temperance than the thrilling scenes and
incidents so well described at least 80
say Mrs. Mary H. Livermore and Miss
Frances L, Willard.
One of the most absorbingly interest
ing portions of the book is that written
by Inspector Byrnes giving the ripe ex-
-perience Of thirty years of detective life.
Many of the startling revelations he
makes are taken from his private diary.
They have never before been Published.
This fascinating volume is indeed
wonderful tale of Christian love and faith,
all alive with intense and striking reality.
The best of it is that it is pure and ele.
waiting book from beginning to end-a
volume for the family circle. On this
point the words of Rev. DR.. Twichell
lwho has a family of ten children) and
Rev.Dr Magoun, President Iowa College,
are worth quoting here: DR.. Twichell
writes,-"My wife says that she is going
to set our young people on the book right
0d. for the good it will do them; and
President Magoun says,-"My family
finds, where other books on our shelves
lack interest, this one always holds and
rewards attention"
