a treatise, a complete exegesis, on
the Sunday-school lessons for-Iooo,
published by the National Baptist
Publishing Board, at Nashville, Tenn.
The book this year contains over four
hundred pages and is easily the su-
perior of any of its predecessors. The
book is in its fifth volume, and it
seems that the Baptist Publishing
Board doubled its energy this year
in its effort to make this book just
what the Sunday-schoOl Superintend-
ent, teachers and advanced scholars
need, a complete, suggestive, illus
trative and comprehensive Commen-

the book is of invaluable service to
been used more than once~to aid in
the preparation of sermons because
of the facts and the extra amount of
biblical research to be found within
its pages. The book contains a pre-
face. an article on Sunday-school
Methods; an introduction for each
quarter and an introduction for every
lesson, together with the Exposition.
Following these there come Truths
Cleaned from the Lesson" "Hints
for the Primary teachers" and an
array of questions upon each lesson.
There are three Beautifully colored
maps showing Pauls journeys. Near
ly every lesson for the year is illus
trated. Attention is at once attract

asking why he cannot be baptized.
This is the first time that Negro pub

on Saturday, Sept. IL, 1909, to at

residence of Mr.. and Mrs. G. G..
Graves, 1916 Coleman street, ST.
Louis, Mo-, in celebration of the
s1st birthday of the venerable Ell
der William L. Carr, of Montgom-
cry City, Mo. 1t was an occasion
of quiet, beautiful and unfeigned
Joy.
Those who composed the circle
were Elder and Mrs. w. L. Carr,
Mr.. and Mrs. Graves, Elder Dono-
van and son, Mrs. Sallie True, sis
ter of Mrs. Carr; Mrs. Nellie Sno.

was much regretted that the dis
tinguished minister's only son, Mr.
Jack Carr, of Moberly, Mo-, and
the other daughter, Mrs. Gertrude
Ham, of Buell., Mo-, were prevent
ed from being present. Though
the own mother of Mrs. Graves
had long ago crossed over "the
mystic river" her step-mother, the
devoted wife of Elder Carr, added
much to the Joy and tenderness of
the celebration.
Elder Carr is a unique and note
worthy character. Though in ex-
treme old age, he is as erect as a
young soldier, and his intellect
scintillates. In conversation, he
is charming, both because of his
geniality and his fund of informa-
ton. For forty years he has been
proclaiming the gospel of redeem
ing love. He is veteran of the
Mexican war, and still retains his
military, bearing.

will not soon forget with what
fervor, pathos, beauty and pow
er the grand old man lifted his
heart and voice to the God and
Father OF us all. May he long live

and cheering words this old world
Of shadows and sorrows. f.
