London Graphic. but the majority of
them We're prepared exclusively for this

seen on Lor1ons streets are especially
attractive. and Mr.. Gibson's impressions
thereof are well expressed ''Cable cars
and troEeys would be sadly out of place
In London. and horseless carriages would
be calamity. There should be no need
to go faster than n horse can trot, and
the best way Of all is to walk" Thus
the author writes and his writings and
drawings make one sec London with It's
history on all sides of you. its wooden
streets and polished sidewalks and bright
shop windows, and at every co<dier small
sweeps and big policemen" In addition
to London streets, Mr.. Gibson sketches
London audiences, parks, a drawing room.
London salons and London people. The
drawings are all OF the very best type.

Cloth price s1OO The Temple Publish
ing Co., Denver, Colo
Mr.. Tyner's book is IAN exposition OF
the Immortality of man In so,l and BODY.
The work is designed to show that the
pel'petuation on life in ever increasing
strength fsii.nees and beauty of manifest
alton is entirely within the powers OF
man when awakened to the fuller con-
sciousness of his true nature. The argli-
memt takes up successfully ~ the Scrip
tural evidences going to show that Christ
demonstrated the fact of immortality IN
the flesh; (2) the proofs of mans bodily
immortality afforded by the natura
sciences; (3) relations between individual
and racial thought, showing the d'In-
body to be a necessary GENERALIZATION OF
individual and racial consciousness OF tins
divine hfe The sociological Importance
of the truth of bodily immortality Is EN-
phaszed by a description of the city O.
Christ and forecast of the changes her
aiding His second coming.
