its readers a new and magnificent
volume of the Bible. the first and
only fully illustrated edition ever
published. 1t is not to be under
stood that this presentation Is
prompted by religious motives SO
much as a desire to provide an edn-
cational feature that is not gener-
ally considered in that light. Admit
ting that all editions OF this book
are good, 1t follows that one con-
tanning some six hundred illustra-
lions that bear directly on the read
ing matter which they accompany
must necessarily be a superior vol
ume.
Believing that it's readers are
deserving of none but the best, the
Reflector has adopted this new IL
lustrated Bible as a means of fur
thering its educational activities.
This Bible is known as the King
James version, which was originally
published in 1911, and is the only
authorized version. The Revised
Version is not generally accepted by
the public, although 1t may be pre-
ferred by some students.
Every book of any importance,
every magazine, literary, scientific
household or otherwise, is illustrat-
ed to a greater or less extent. Even
the daily newspapers make strong
feature of illustration. Schools
throughout the land teach the pub
lie by means of pictures. Why not
then, illustrate and popularize the
Bible. as has been done in this IN
stance?
For convenience, the titles OF the
coo text pictures in this illustrated
Bible are printed Immediately I'M
derneath the pictures, and refer to
the book, chapter and verse illus
trated.
This is the only sinsilarly illustrat-
ed Bible ever published in this or
any other country. It is bound In
full limp leather with overlapping
covers, printed on superior grade
of Bible paper and sold regularly
at IS volume.
It matters not how many Bibles
one may have, this illustrated B.ble
should be in every home because
of the Importance and educational
value of these eye-teaching pictures
There are many editions of other
| Bibles, all good in way. The
regulation small size meets a de-
mand for a hand Bible, but it Is
lacking in the feature of text H.
Illustrations, which is so important
and SO necessary.
The large family Bible, which
weighs from IS to 20 pounds, is nc
longer used to any extent. and but
few are now sold. They are too
large and cumbersome; seldom are
thay referred to, and as rulc are
slowed away or used As an ornG-
ment in the parlor, while this IL
lrstrajed edition is emDhatically a
home Bible, easy to handle, always
full! of interest to youn% and old
tund jrst the thing - interest the
children.
In addition to these wonderful
pictures printed with the type, there
are also numerous full-page colored
mates from the famous Tissot coll
lection. These, together with mar
ginal references, educational helps,
self-pronouncing text and colored
maps, make it in reality book OF
rare educational value which all will
appreciate.
The type is large, clear and dis
tinct and easily read by young and
old. The book is of convenient size
easy to hold or handle and 1t can
be rolled up and carried anywhere.
IT is hoped that everyone will place
this book on table in room that
is used constantly, where 1t may be
seen and used daily as a work OF
reference.
While the IS volume is by far the
most magnificent work of the kind,
there is also a SO volume, bound In
silk cloth. Both Of these bindings
lare furnished in the Catholic edition
also. in which the illustrations con-
sist of the full-page plates and maps
approved by the church. without the
Tissot and teri pictures.
