This is the thirty-eighth volume of the Peloubet series and fully sustains the high standard of previous years. The lessons for this year are of especial interest as they cover the "Life of Christ in the Synoptic Gospels." A chart at the outset gives in outline the method followed. The First Quarter embraces the Judean period, including the Birth of John the Baptist, the Birth of Jesus and "Preparation for His Ministry." This is termed the "Year of Beginnings." The Second Quarter includes His Galilean Ministry or "Year of Principles." In the Third and Fourth we have Galilee continued, or Year of Development. The latter also embraces the Perean Ministry, the "Last Three Months," the "Last Week," "Resurrection Days," and the “Ever Living Saviour." Peloubet's long ago passed the suggestion of "Notes," and has become a commentary of the widest research. The references, maps, illustrations and comments make it a work, with scarcely a peer in its line. (W. A. Wilde Company, Boston, Mass.) A LASTING CHRISTMAS GIFT At this time of the year every one is wondering what will make the most useful present. What is better than to encourage the habit of saving, while at the same time give a present which does not grow old or depreciate. Why not present your daughter, son, wife or husband with a 6 per cent. First Mortgage Gold Bond? Every six months the recipient when cashing the coupons will remember the donor and a better gift can hardly be chosen. The Nicholls-Ritter-Goodnow Co., 408-15 Flatiron Building, New York, are offering 6 per cent. First Mortgage Gold Bonds in denominations of $50, $100 or $1,000 as suitable Christmas Gifts.

We are very glad to call the attention of all ASSEMBLY HERALD readers to a book entitled "Rainbow Rhymes," published by Feister-Owens Press, Inc., Philadelphia, Pa. Not only do we take pleasure in doing this because the publication is so very good in itself, but because the purpose for which it is gotten out is so exceptionally worthy. The book is written by Mrs. Anna Massey Drayton for children, and its sweet simple verse is at once entertaining and uplifting. It is full of such lines as these: "There's a crack in the sky, dear mother, And the light is shining through." ""Tis the glory of Heaven, my darling Shining on me and you. "Yes, the Light of the World ever shineth, Lo! He is the Truth and the Way And if we stay close to Him always, The night shall be e'en as the day." The proceeds from the sale of the book, no matter where it may be bought go towards the purchase price of a "Holiday House" to All Thoughtful Men Are aware that the religious conflict of today has become a conflict between cultured heathenism and historic Christianity. The Presbyterian stands for Jesus Christ as to very Son of God; the Bible as the inspired Word of God; and it solicits the patronage of those who stand with it "FOR THE FAITH ONCE DELIVERED TO THE SAINTS" A SPECIAL HOLIDAY OFFER The Presbyterian for one year. A Bible bound in flexible Morocco. Both at regular price of "Presbyterian" $2.50 PER YEAR This Bible measures 5x8 inches and includes the usual teachers' helps THE PRESBYTERIAN PHILADELPHIA, PA. |
