By Inspector Byrnes giving ;he iPe sIPe-
rienee Of thirty years Of detective life.
Many Of the startling revelations he
makes are taken from his private diary.
They have never before been published.
This fascinating volume is indeed n
wonderful tale IF Christian love and
faith, all alive with intense and striking
reality. The best Of il is that 1t is n
pure and eleyating book from beginning
to end-a volume for the family circle.
On this point the words OF Rev. DR..
Twitchell twho has a family of ten chill
drenl and Rev. DIR. Magoun, President
Iowa College, are worth quoting here:
DR.. Twitchell writes,-"Ny wife says
that she is going to set our young people
on the book right of. for the good it will
do them: and President Magoun says.
My family finds. where other books
on our shelves lack interest, this one al
ways holds and rewards attention..
1t contains 252 superb engravings,
every one OF them made from photo
graphs taken from life, mostly BY fash
light. Every face is a portrait. every
scene a reality. In looking at these
splendid illustrations the reader sees At
glance Just how Gospel work is carried
on by day and by night by rescue-bands;
he is shown strange sights in out of the
way placrs that are rarely or never seen
by the casual visitor; he is taken into
cheap lodging-houses and cellars; into
the homes of the poor; into newsboys'
lodging-houses; into the police and de-
tective departments, etc.,-nothing seems
to be omitted.
We do not know when 40 pages have
given us more genuine pleasure. II we
speak warmly of the book, it is because
it richly deserves it. 1t is sold only by
agents. and is meeting with an enormous
sale. Agents who introduce such a
work ought to be cordially welcomed.
A better work has certainly never come
to our table. 1t will be read over and
over again by old and young, with ever
increasing pleasure and lasting profit.
The work is published by the old and
well-known firm of A. d. Worthington &
Co., Hartford, Conn, whose imprint is
sufficient guarantee of the excellence of
this first-class volume. Royal Octave,
7+0 pages. 252 fine plates. portraits,
and text illustrations.

Mrs. w. E. c. Jones had most provi-
dental escape from serious injury and
perhaps death last Sunday. Returning
from church and about to go up the
stairs that lead to her home there came
a terrific gust of wind which blew down
a ladder standing near by, the ladder
striking her on the edge of the right
shoulder, telling her to the ground. Mrs.
Jones escaped with only slight injury to
the shoulder, but had she stood only a
few inches to the right from where she
vas standing when the ladder fell it
would have surely fallen on her head,
with result that one cannot contem

THE FAMOUS NEW BOOK,

DARKNESS AND DAYLIGHT"
OR
Lights and Shadows of New York Life.
In this new and superbly illustrated
work a noble Christian woman tells the
thrilling story of her personal experience
in Gospel, temperance, mission, and res
cue work in great city. No recent pub.
LEGATION is now commanding so much at
tention nor has any other called forth
such ringing words OF "God-speed' from
ministers and eminent women. 1t has
been preached about from famous pulpits,
read by tens of thousands of subscribers,
and made the subject Of many a clergy.
mans Sunday evening lecture. Its
authorship is fourfold, its four authors
being no less than:-Mrs. Helen Camp
BELL Rev. Lyman Abbott, D. D., Col.
Thomas w. Knox, and Inspector Thomas
l'yrnes, Chief of the New York Detective
Bureau.
Mrs. Campbell, the principal writer,
certainly was a woman commissioned of
God, and I'm His Name" spent many
years as city missionary literally "ln
Darkest New York" What wonderful
work she did. How devoted and blessed
her labors were. 1t is story never to
be forgotten. This unique volume pre-
sents these thrilling experiences of Chris
tian endeavor with the hundreds OF pa
thetic and amusing scenes that were
packed into them; it portrays life in a
great city by day and by night "As Seen
by Woman; it shows the power of
the Gospel to redeem souls from the low
est depths; it gives striking testimonies
of the redeemed; and from all these rich
and varied experiences it draws living
truths for head and heart that are
worth to any reader ten times the price
of the book. Mrs. Campbell's account
touching incidents. Stranger stories
are here told than romance ever dreamed
of, every one of them drawn from real
life by a woman's hand. In every chap
ter she weaves in anecdote after anecdote,
incident after incident, story after story,
and the readers attention is held breath
less to the end OF the volume. Strange
but most suggestive is the fact" says
Bishop Coke in warmly commencing
this volume, that Christ is to be visited
in these dens and dives; there are those
whom He will bear in mind when He
says: 'Ye visited me-; or, when he
says: 'Ye did it not to Me-"
Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott's lifelong in
terest in City Mission work, and his
personal share in that work, pre-emi-
nently fitted him to write for this book.
In his Introduction to it he says
my interest in these phases of city life
dates from my college days. From that day
to this-over a third of a centuEy-I have
continued the studies then begun, and the
subject of this book has been one of the
great subjects of my study-sometimes in
literature, often in life."
No appeal from temperance advocates
can do more to promote the cause of
temperance than the thrilling scenes and
incidents so we'll described; at least so
say Mrs. Mary A. Livermore and Miss
Frances E. Willard.
One of the most Accordingly interest
ing portions of the book is that written
