MR. GROSVENOR’S DAUGHTER.
A story of city life. By Julia MacNair Wright. 12mo. $1 50.
“So good a Sunday-school book has not appeared in many a long year.
Mrs. Wright has written many interesting stories, every one with a
useful purpose, but never one more interesting, never one with purpose
half so practical as this. The book should be in every Sunday-school
library.”--N. Y. EVANGELIST.
ON A SNOW-BOUND TRAIN.
By Julia MacNair Wright. 12mo. $1 25.
A train on the Pacific Railway is snowed in and makes but little
progress for nearly a week. The passengers get restless and uneasy.
Various attempts at interesting them are tried, but none succeed so
well as story-telling. The narrative of the delays and disappointments
is a very interesting one from which many practical lessons may be
learned, and the stories themselves have all a point and a purpose that
render them highly attractive.
THE SUNDAY HOUR LIBRARY.
This is a new selection of Sunday-school books. A fine set of 50
volumes in a neat chestnut case. $25 net.
THE PILGRIM’S PROGRESS from this World to that which is to come.
By John Bunyan. With a memoir of the author and 127 choice engravings.
324 pages. 4to. Gilt edges, $2. Cloth, $1 50.
“We do not know of any edition of Pilgrim’s Progress, the mechanical
outfit of which is so well calculated to widen the already world-wide
popularity of this semi-inspired similitude. Would that such
literature could be placed in the hands of the rising generation to
the exclusion of the trash flooding the book markets. Here is a story
more entertaining than any novel, and pictures more attractive than the
street posters of any theatre, for the young, once bring them together.”
METHODIST PROTESTANT.
THE ANDERSONS, Brother and Sister.
By Agnes Giberne. Ten full-page illustrations. 12mo. 347 pp. $1 25.
“A touching story.... The moral teaching of the book is of the purest
kind.”--NEW YORK OBSERVER.
ROY’S OPPORTUNITY, and what came of it.
By Annie L. Hannah. 12mo. $1 25.
“A charming story. The religious teaching of the book is of the
sweetest and the purest character.”
THE STORY OF JOHN G. PATON; or, Thirty Years Among South Sea Cannibals.
By Rev. James Paton, B. A. With 45 full-page illustrations. Fifth
thousand. 12mo. 397 pp. $1 50.
