New Testament Stories
Comically Illustrated
NEARLY 400 PAGES
A PAGE OF TEXT TO EACH PICTURE
ABOUT 200 PICTURES
These Pictures are the Illustrations which appeared in The Truth Seeker
and were highly commended for their wit and point. The Text is in
chief part by George E. Macdonald, most favorably known to readers of
The Truth Seeker. The Cover is from an original design by Ryan Walker,
one of the best cartoonists in the whole country.
_Cloth covers, design in white and tint, $1.50. Board covers,
illuminated, $1._
The Book covers the New Testament from Matthew to Revelation, and the
principal incidents in the careers of the "Son of Man" and his "army"
are illustrated in a humorous manner, accompanied with a page of text
still more effective. Mr. George E. Macdonald possesses the delicate
touch of Mark Twain and the quaint conceptions of Bill Nye, with a
style all his own. A perusal of this book cannot fail to destroy the
superstitious regard for the New Testament now held by deceived
Christians. The absurdity of the events narrated in the Gospels, Acts,
and Epistles is made apparent; and while there is nothing in the work
to offend by its "blasphemy," there is a great deal which will convince
its readers that the religion of the New Testament is equally
mythological with the history of the Old Testament. The book combines
amusement with instruction, like the "moral pocket handkerchiefs" Mrs.
Weller's church sent to the heathen.
Cloth covers, $1.50; board covers, $1.00.
