PRESENTED TO
EVERY READER
Bible Containing Famous Tissot Pic
lures in Colors and Text Illustra-
tions-Bound in Leather.

1t is with no small sense of pride that
The Reformer makes the announcement
that it will present to it's readers new
and magnificent volume of the Bible.
the first and only fully illustrated edi-
tion ever published. 1t is not to be un-
derstood that this presentation is
prompted by religious motives so much
as desire to provide an educational
feature that is not generally considered
In that light. Admitting that all edi-
tions of this book are good, it follows
that one containing some six hundred
illustrations that bear directly on the
reading matter which they accompany
must necessarily be a superior volume.
Believing that its readers are deserv-
ing none but the best, The Reformer
has adopted this New Illustrated Bible
as means of furthering its educa-
tional activities.
This Bible is known as the King
James Version, which was originally
published in 1911, and is the only au-
thorized version. The Revised Version
is not generally accepted by the pub
lie, although it may be preferred by
some students.
Every book of any Importance, every
magazine, literary, scientific, household
or otherwise, is illustrated to a greater
or less extent. Even the daily newspa-
pers make a strong feature of illustra-
tion. Schools throughout the land
teach the public by means of pictures
Why not, then, illustrate and popular
lie the Bible, as has been done in this
instance?
For convenience. the titles of the 600
text pictures in this Illustrated Bible
are printed Immediately underneath the
pictures, and refer to the book, chapter
and verse illustrated.
This is the only similarly illustrated
Bible ever published in this or any
other country. 1t is bound in full limp
leather with overlapping covers, print
ed on a superior grade of Bible paper
and sold regularly at So volume.
1t matters not how many Bibles
one may have, this illustrated Bible
should be in every home because of the
importance and educational value of
these eve-teaching pictures.
There are many editions of other Ri.
bles, all good in a way. The regula-
ton small size meets n demand for a
hand Bible, but it is lacking in the fea.

important and so necessary.
The large family Bible, which weigh.
from 10 to 20 pounds. is no longer used
TO an extent, and but few are now sold.
They are too large and cumbersome:
seldom are they referred to, and as a
rule are slowed away or used as an or

In addition to these wonderful pie
lures printed with the type, there are
also numerous full-page colored plates
from the famous Tissot collection.
These. together with marginal refer

ing text and colored maps, make it in
reality book of rare educational val
ne which all will appreciate
The type is large, clear and distinct
and easily read by young and old. The
book is of convenient size, easy to hold
or handle and it can be rolled up and
carried anywhere. 1t is hoped that ev-
eryone VIII place this book on a table
in room that is used constantly where
1t may be seen and used daily as
work of reference.
