A Notable Silver Anniversary.

With the close of the present year Mr..
David c. 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
favorably known publishers in this line.
Beginning i'll 1919 with two small pub
LEGATIONS, his periodicals have grown i'll
number and favor until there are few
schools in this country that do not find it
to their interest to use me of his pure
and helpful publications, while many in
distant lands pay tribute to their merits.
The past quarter of century has wit
messed many changes among Sunday
school publishers. and much less time
than TINS has SuttiCed for some to outllYe
their usefulness. On the contrary. Mr..
Cook Is preparing TO celebrate the be
ginning of another quarter century with
additional improvements and new publ
cations. Among these may be mentioned
The New Century Sunday School Teach
er Monthly. large and thoroughly up
to date magazine for superintendent and
teachers. the first issue of which will ap-
pear IN December. Among the most re-
able Of his publications is the Young
Peoples Weekly. which has attained Il
non. being successful attempt to fur
nish high grade of religious story read
ing for boys and girls. To avoid the
Soody -eoOdy story of the Sunday
school. such as we remember in our child
hood days. and furnish something natu
raj. interesting and ennobling, has been its
ann, and we are not at all surprised at
its popularity
The restraining influence of the Chris
tan 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 Il
most welcome accessory iii this work,
and one which all should appreciate
Boys ard girls will read. and the story
book and paper are their first choice.
There seems Il plentiful supply of relig
louS papers for older people, but this is
the hrst successful attempt to furnish Il
non-sectarian religious story paper for
young people.
The paper is profusely illustrated.
beautifully printed. and contains as
much or more reading matter than the
most expensive of secular young peoples
story papers. The price. seycnty-tiyC
cents per year, should bring it within the
reach of every home. Mr.. Cook is now
making special effort to give the paper
a wider circulation, and all who send
seventy-fve cents for a years subscrip-
ton before Jan. l will receive Il beauti-
ful premium picture entitled The Souls
Awakening" 1t is exactly the same size
13x1S inches and style as those on sale
at art stores for 81 Orders should be
addressed to David c. Cock Publishing

Probably no man living has done so
much to improve and cheaper Sunday
school literature as has Mr. David c.
Cook. Through his aid thousands of
schools have been encouraged. improved
and made self-sustaining Mr. Cook is
yet comparatively Young man, and ii
does not appear at all improbable that his
held of usefulness may extend over yet
another quarter century.
