TIE s9aE BIBLE GALLERY.
This Rarcst of Great Religious Works
at l.aSt IL Brought Within tiie
ROUGH of All.

It may seem somewhat unusual for
daily paper to offer q purely reli
glous work like the DoreDible Ia 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 we'll US young; rich as we'll as poor,
has tendency to strengthen the lam
lily tie and TO better the community.
10th Of whloa must certainly fall with
in the province OF q newSpapsr pub
llshed for tho good OF the common
wealth.
We therefore offer this portfolio
with the conviction that thousands
upon thousands OF our readers who
have not been able to bay this great
work In its more expensive form will
embrace the opportunity OF getting
1t in Its present most popular Issue,
not only because of the good 1t Will do
and tho religion 1t will teach but also
because. as an educating and elevat-
Ing work OF art, 1t has mad greater
sale In the time it has been In other
cities than any other portfolio.
We will run 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 l6 pages.
eight OF beautifully engraved scenes
from the Bible painted by Dore aud
eight OF accompanying descriptions
written by that great divine. Talbot W.
Chambers, ID. ID.
The designs are all consecutive, bs-
ginning with the Garden of Eden and
continuing throughout to tho end of
tho New Testament. aud the descri D..
tions 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
and individual, This the only fully ii.
lustrated Bible ever published. and
also to place before the eyes Of the
rising generation serles OF wonder
fully realistic pictures which Will
famlliarlze them with the events in
. tn Old and New Testaments.
The field which it covers lie unilmit
r 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 q
. subject upon the mind particularly
the young), and parents will grasp
the chance of making tho Scripture
Lesson PLEASURE and not merel y d
duty. How much more readily will
the Sunday school or Bible class

We all realize the power OF the In
spired book. and the great hold whict

than any other book ever published
