Believing that much of the increas-

to the difficulty encountered in hastily
selecting passages of Scripture Of a
suitable devotional character, Sylvanus
Stall, D. D., a careful bible student and
the author of several books, has pre-
pared a volume of 365 selections from
the Bible for daily devotions, and the
Funk & Wagnalls Company of New
York will publish the same in a few
days in a neat dollar volume. The Sc
lections are also for use in the chapel
services of colleges, the opening devo-
tions in the public schools, and for the
daily use of Christian Endeavorers and
members of other societies of young
people.
