This is an instructive Primer, for children, combining a series of
progressive spelling lessons, commencing with the alphabet, and
interspersed with simple rhymes and easy sentences in prose, accompanied
with many pictures. The Primer contains Dr. Watts' celebrated Cradle
Hymn, the verses entitled "Mary and her Lamb," the "Busy Bee," &c. Those
who wish to change from the heavy and badly printed "Spelling Books" in
present use, will find this to be more attractive to the young beginner,
and more likely to coax him a step forward in his first lessons.
The Testimony of a Hundred Witnesses:
_Or, the Instrumentalities by which Sinners are brought to Embrace the
Religion of Jesus Christ._
_PRICE FIFTY CENTS._
This Volume contains the history of One Hundred Conversions, written
mostly expressly for this publication, by Christian individuals in the
various evangelical denominations. It is, in a word,
AN "EXPERIENCE MEETING" IN A BOOK,
In which each person relates briefly the experience of his own heart
concerning the great salvation. Among the number are about fifty
ministers, some of the most able and renowned of the past and present
ages. These interesting narratives show some of the causes which lead
sinners to become concerned for their eternal welfare,--their resistance
to the force of the Truth and the strivings of the Holy Spirit,--their
subsequent struggles against their own evil dispositions, or "carnal
mind,"--and their final perseverance toward the way of life, by true
repentance, and an acceptance through faith in Christ, of the blessings
which follow the love of God shed abroad in the soul.
Place this book in your family, and cause it to be circulated among your
neighbors, that it may awaken many sinners, and edify the saints of God.
Form clubs of a dozen or more, and send for the work, which will be
forwarded at $4.00 per dozen, cash, in any way directed. A single copy

The Career of John Mortal,
A MAN WHO ENJOYED THIS LIFE.
_Illustrated with several Engravings._
_PRICE TWENTY-FIVE CENTS._
This volume presents several rapid and startling pictures of the career
of a man who enjoyed all the pleasures and profits of this world, and
neglected to honor God. John Mortal gained the whole world, and lost his
own soul. The style of the composition is partly allegorical and partly
narrative. It claims no credit for literary excellence, but is published
with the hope of arresting the attention of those who neglect to read
works of a heavier and more solemn appearance, and impressing their
minds with the worthlessness of human vanities and honors.
