Addrest to "the youth whose lot is cast in the city or whose heart is turned that way; who knows himself a man, and with eyes aloft, means to make himself a better one; who plans a full equipment, that he may win splendidly."--_From the Preface._ "I have seldom had more pleasure than I have found in reading Dr. Burrell's strong and suggestive book. It is a book for the present hour and the present age. In a style singularly lucid and wonderfully attractive, Dr. Burrell sets forth the dangers of the city on the one hand and its advantages on the other. Each of the twenty-two chapters might stand by itself as a word of cheer, a bugle-call or a warning. The epithet most suitable to the book, as a whole, is 'sane.' Nothing is overstrained. Everything is practical, and the book is thoroughly manly, and is infused throughout with the author's vigorous and winning personality. It is emphatically a book for the young man."--MARGARET E.

NEW YORK AND LONDON A JUNIOR CONGREGATION A CHILDREN'S SERMON APPROPRIATE TO EVERY SUNDAY OF THE YEAR, TOGETHER WITH HINTS FOR FORMING A JUNIOR CONGREGATION By JAMES M. FARRAR, D.D. _Pastor of the First Reformed Church, Brooklyn, and Minister of the First Organized Junior Congregation_ The church-going men and women of to-day were the church-going children of their youth. But theirs, most likely, was a _compulsory_ attendance. This, however, is the _Children's Age_. More time, more thought, more energy are, in this generation, given to the study, development, and discipline of children than has ever been attempted in any past century. _The Children's Church_ is being organized in congregations where the children's welfare and the church's future are close at heart. Children in such a church love to attend, for theirs is _A Junior Congregation_ worshiping with the regular congregation, thus forming habits of church-going in their best habit-forming years, and acquiring a familiarity with the church's services and ordinances that will help them grow into sturdy church workers. _12mo, Cloth. $1.20, net; by mail, $1.28_ FUNK & WAGNALLS COMPANY, Pubs.
