II may seem somewhat unusual 70,

| Rlous work like the DoreDible in parts
since heretofore the coupon offers
have appealed solely to the SECULAR
sentiment OF the people; but we CON
slider that anything which spreads the
knowledge OF the Gospel among Old
as well as young; rich as we'll as poor,

We therefore offer this portfolio
with the conviction that thousands
| upon thousands OF our readers who
nave not been able to buy this great
WORK Ia ite more expensive form will
embrace tho opportunity OF getting
u IN us present most popular Issue,
not only because OF the good it will 10
and tue religion 1t will teaoh but also
because. as an educating and elsyat-
Ing work OF art. 1t has had a greater
sale In the time 1t has been in other
cities than any other portfolio,
we Will run q series of thirteen of
these portfolios. one of which may he
obtained each week by any one cutting
out coupons from this paper and re :
turning them with 10 cents In stamps
or coin TO this Office.
Each part will contain 10 pages,
eight of beautifully engraved scenes
from the Bible painted by Dore and
eight OF accompanying descriptions
written by that great divine. Talbot w.
Chambers. d. d.
The designs are oil consecutive, be-
ginning with the Garden of Eden and
/ continuing throughout to the end OF
the New Testament. and the deserlp-
lions not only refer to the text but ex-
plain many points that otherwise
would be difficult to comprehend.
The object Of this great work is to
bring Within the reach OF every family
aud Individual, this the only fully IL
lustrated Bible ever published, and
| also to place before the eyes Of the
rising generation series OF wonder
fully realistic pictures which Will
amlliarize them with the events In
th Old aud New Testaments.
The Held which it covers is unlimit-
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 a
subject upon the mind (particularly
The young), and parents will grasp
the chance of making the Scripture
lesson pleasure; and not merel
duty. How much more readily will
the Sunday school or Bible class
teacher hold tho attention Of his hear
ers u ne can show them consecutive

We all realize the power of the in
spired BOOK. and the great hold which
IL mas upon every civilized land. Each
year the Bible has larger circulation
than any other book ever published,
and 1t has been the theme for more
writing In poetry and prose than any
other subject 1t is the oldest and
IN ost interesting book. Were tie
famous galleries of Earope 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 the first tlmo 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 moving
panorama OF sacred history, and make
one wish to read the full text SO as
not to lose one word OF the engross-
Ing story. Ii each week. as these pic
lures are Issued, the story is read
from Scrad Scripture the whole Bible
takes on new interest and the nara.

Oeen said that every house shonld
have Its dictionary. its Bible, and lis
works OF art.
The DoEE BIBLE GALLERY combines
the last two, appealing to both tue ar.
tlstic and religious sentimsnts.
In short. the theme of the Dore 81.

all ages and nil conditions of men. The

the 800 edition, which was the price
charged for the original Issue. Here
totore the work has been sold only to
