/ Mrs. Campbell, the principal writer,
certainly was woman commissioned OF
God and@In His Name" spent many
years as cit missionary literally I'm
Darkest New !'ork." What wonder
tul work she did. How devoted and
blessed her labors were. 1t is story
never to be forgotten. This unique
volume presents these thrilling expert
ences of Christian endeavor with the
hundreds Of pathetic aud amusing
scenes that were packed into them; it
portrays life iu great city by day and
night As Seen by Woman" It shows
the power Of the Gospel to redeem
! souls from the lowest depths; it gives
striking testimonies OF the redeemed:
and from all these rich and varied ex-
periences it draws living truths for head
and heart that are worth to any reader
ten times tie price OF the book. Mrs.
Campbell's account of rescue-work is
full of wonderfully touching incidents.
Stranger stories are here told than 70,

OPP Coke in warmly commencing this
volume, "that Christ is to be visited in
these dens and dives; there are those
whom He will bear in mind when lie
says: 'Ye visited me-; or when he says |
'Ye did it not to Me-"
Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott's lifelong
interest in City Mission work and his
personal share in that work, pre-emi
nently fitted him to write for this book.
In his Introduction to it he says:-
"My interest in these phases of city
life dates from my college days. From,
that day 10 this-over n third OF cen
tury--I have continued the studies
then begun. and the subject of this
book has been one of the great subject
OF my stu ly--sometimes i'll literature,
often in life"
No appeal from temperance adve-
Gates can do more to promote the cause
of temperance than the thrilling scenes
and incidents so well described at Least
so say Mrs. Mary A. Livermore and
Miss Frances E. Willard.
One of the most absorhingly interest
ing portions OF the book is that written
by Inspector Byrnes giving the ripe
experience 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 be It Of it is that it is
pure and elevating book from begin
ming to end-a volume for the family
circle. On this point the words OF
Rev. DR.. Twichell (who has a family of
ten children) and Rev. DIR. Magoun,
President Iowa College, are worth
quoting here: DR.. Twichell writes,-
shy wife says that she is going to set
our young people on the DO TX right off,
tor the good it will do them:" and
President Magoun says,-"My family
finds, where other books on ON
shelves lack interest. this one always
holds and rewards attention"
