We therefore offer this portfolio
with the conviction that thousands
upon thousands OF our readers who
have not been able to buy this great
work In It's more expensive form will
embrace the opportunity OF getting
1t In Its present most popular iseue,
not only because OF the good 1t will do

because. as an educating and eleyat.
Ing work OF art. 1t has had q greater

plain many points that otherwise
would be difficult to comprehend.
The object Of this great work is to

and individual, this the only fully Ii.
Illustrated Bible ever published, and

rising generation series OF wonder
fully realistic picturos which Will

The Held which 1t covers 10 unllmit-
ed, since 1t appeals not only to each
religious person, but also to the stu
dent, to the historian, and the lover of
art. Pictures have always been the
most effective way OF impressing
subject upon the mind particularly
the young, and parents will grasp
the chance OF making the Scripture
duty. How much more readily will
the Sunday school or Bible class
teacher hold the attention Of his hear.
ers II he can show them consecutive
pictures OF the lesson of the day.
We all realize the power OF the In.
spired book. and tho great hold which
II has upon every civilized land. Each,
year the Bible has larger circulation
thhn any other book ever published
and 1t has been tho theme for more
writing in poetry and prose than any
most Interesting book. We're the
famous galleries Of Europe deprived
OF the works Of art suggested by the
scriptures they would lose more than
one'half their masterpieces.
These wonderful pictures of Dore,
now Tor tho first timo published at a.
price within the reach OF all. will add
largely TO the interest In Bible his.
tory All the pictures by this world
renowned master are SO wonderfully
expressive that they form a moving
panorama OF nacred history,Rnd make
one wish to read the full text 80 as
not to lose one word OF the engross.
Ing story. II each week. AZ these pic

been said that every house should
have Its dictionary, its Bible, and Its (
