IL may seem somewhat unusual for
q daily paper to offer q. purely rail-.
gious work Ike the DoreDlble In parts

The designs are all consecutive, be-
ginning with the Garden OF Eden aud
continuing throughout to the end OF
the New Testament, aud the desorl D.

plain many points that otherwise

The object Of this great work ia 10

and individual, this the only fully IL
Illustrated Bible ever published, and
also to place before tho eyes OF the
rising generation serles OF wonder
fully realistic pictures which will
famillarlze them with the events In

The Held which 1t covers Ia unllmit-
ed, since 1t appeals not only to each
religious person, but also to tho stu
dent, to the historian, and the lover OF
art. Pictures have always been the
most effective way OF impresslng a
subject upon the mind (particularly
the young), and parents will grasp
the chance OF making the Scripture
lesson pleasure; and not merei Y
duty. How much more readily will

teacher hold the attention Of his hear
