A Notable silver Anniversary.

with tie close OF the present year Mr..
David @. Cook, OF Chicago, will celebrate
his first quarter-centennial as editor and
publisher OF Sunday-school literature.
Starting twenty-five years ago, without
reputation or assurance OF support, he has
become one OF the most widely and favor
ably known publishers In this line. Begin
ming in 1875 with two small publications,
his periodicals have grown IN number and
favor until thore are few schools In this
country that do not ilnd it to their interea.
to use some OF his pare aud helpful publ.
cations, while many In distant lands pay
tribute to their merits, The past quarter
of u century has Witnessed many changes
among Sunday-schlol publishers, and
much less time than this has sufilced for
some TO oUtlive their usefulness. On the
contrary, Mr.. Cook is preparing TO cele-
brate the beginning OF another quarter
century with additional improvements and
new publications. Among these may be
mentioned The NEW CENTURY SUNDAY
ScHooL TEACHERS MONTHLY, large and
thoroughly up-t o-date magazine for super
intendents and teachers, tie llrst issue OF
which will appear In December. Among
the most remarkable OF his publications Is
the You've PEOPLES WEEKLY, which has at
talned circulation OF nearly quarter OF
million, being successful attempt to
furnish high grade OF religious storv
reading for bows aud girls. To avoid the
"goody-gOody" story OF the sunday
school, such as we remember in our child
hood days, and furnish something natural,
interesting aud epnobling, has been its
aim, and we are not at all surprised at its
popularity.
The restraining influence of the Chris
tian home and the Sunday-school ON our
growing community OF young people. some
OF us may not appreciate as We should
perhaps because these sometimes fail to
restrain. This paper should be most
welcome accessory in this work, and ono
which all should appreciate. BOYS aud
girls will reud. and the story book aud
paper are their nrst choice. There seems
II plentiful supply OF religious papers for
Older people, but this Is the first SUCCESS
ful attempt to furnish non-sectnrlan re-.
ligious story paper for young people.
The paper is profusely Illustrated, beau
tifully printed, and contains as much or
more reading matter than the most expen-
sive OF secular young peoples story papers.
The price, seventy-iive cents per year,
should bring it within the reach OF every
home. Mr.. Cook is now making a special
effort to give the paper wider circulation,
and all who send seventy-lve cents for a
year's subscription before Jan. 1st will re-
ceive beautiful premium picture entitled
"The Souls Awakening" 1t is exactly the
same size O3 by 18 inches) and style as
those on sale ut art stores for 81. Orders
should be addressed to David G. Cook
Publishing Co., 36 Washington St., Chicago.
Probably no man living has done so
much to improve and cheaper Sunday
school literature as has Mr.. David O..
Cook. Through his did thousands OF
schools have been encouraged, improved
and made self-sustaning. Mr.. Cook is yet
comparatively young man, and 1t does
not appear at all improbable that his field
OF usefulness may extend over yet another
quarter-century.
