THE LArnsr AND GnEArnsr
OFFER.
This Rarest Of Great Religious Works
Mt Last is Brought within tho
Reach OF All.

1t may seam somewhat unusual for
daily paper to offer o purely reli.
gious work like the DoreDible Ia parts
since heretofore the coupon offers
have appealed solely to the secular
sentiment OF the people; but ws con-
knowledge OF the Gospel among old
as well us young; rich az well as poor,
has tendency to strengthen the fam
ily tie and to better tho community,
both OF which must certainly fall with.
In the province of newspaper pub.
wealth.
We therefore offer this portfolio
with the conviction that Thousands
upon thousands OF our readers who
have not beeu able to buy 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 it will do
and tho religion 1t will teach but also
because. as an educating and elevat-
ing work Of art. 1t has had greater
sale In tue time 1t has been In other
cities than any other portfolio.
We Will run series OF thirteen OF
these portfolios, one of which may DO
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 and

| 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 Ia to
bring within the reach OF every family
and individual, This the only fully IL
Illustrated Bible ever published. and
also to place before the eyes OF the
rising generation series OF wonder
| fully realistic pictures which will
familiarize them with the events In
tn Old and New Testaments.
The field which 1t covers is unllmit-
ed, since it appeals not ouly 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
Il
duty How much more readily will
the Sunday school or Bible class
teacher hold the attention Of his hear
ers IL he can show them consecutive
pictures OF the lesson Of the day.
We all realize the power of the In
splred book. and the great hold which
II has upon every civilized land. Each
year the Bible has a larger circulation
than any other book ever published,
| and N hua haan thu
writing in poetry and prose than any
other subject. 1t lie the oldest and
IN ost interesting book. Were 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 for the first timo published at a
| price within tho reach OF all, Ill add
largely to the interest in Bible his
tory All tho pictures by this world
renowned master are so wonderfully
expressive that they form q moving
panorama of sacred history, and make
one wish to read the full text 80 as
not to lose one word of the engross.
Ing story. IL each week. as these pic
tures are Issued. the story is read
from Scrad Scripture, the whole Bible
takes OH new interest anu the nara :
been said that every house shonld
have its dictionary. Its Bible, and it's
works OF art.
The DoRE BIBLE GALLERY combines
the last two, appealing to both the ar.
tlstic and Religious sentiments.
In short. the theme Of the Dore Bt.
Bile appeals to all classes. all religions,
all ages and all conditions OF men. The
plates arc the same as those used for
the 500 edition, which was the price
charged for the original issue. Here
