PRONUNCIATION
PLAINLY GIVEN
Helps Father and Mother as
Well as Children.

Nothing Is so distracting as to be
unable TO unusual names
which we come across in reading
Not only does this detract from our
reading, but when we have TO
stumble" over words the entire
sense Is lost.
The NEWS Bible has a key TO
pronunciation which will be readliy
understood. Every proper name Is
separated into syllables and sell
pronounced, SO that mtspronuncla-
ton Is impossible. The self-pro-
nouncing text is a most attractive
feature of this work, and is OF M
mense value to everybody that finds
1t difficult to pronounce Biblical
names of places and people.
No book ever printed holds such a
place in literature as the Bible. AS
an educational work it demands a
place in every home. One need not
hold religious beliefs to appreciate
the educational and literary value
OF this great work. Even though
one nay have many others, this IL
Illustrated Bible Is the one you will
use, for 1t brings out in pictures the
yery points that have seemed OBJ
scure and throws "a new light on
them.
What may now seem to be obscure
passages assume a new meaning
through these eye-teaching pictures,
for such Illustrations not only en-
rich the text, but they intelligently
explain 1t to thousands Of readers.
So with the self-pronounefng feat
ures and these explanatory illustra-
tions, not to mention the education
al helps and marginal references,
this becomes the most useful Bible
ever printed.
There are several styles to select
from as explained in the certificate
