APPLES OF GOLD IN PICTURES OF SILVER;
We are glad to hear again from our respected friend, D. F. Newton. His testimony is always faithful, searching, and well-timed. We shall be glad to hear from him whenever he can find time to write. Below we insert his advertisement of a new work, which we doubt not is valuable, though we have not seen it: “APPLES OF GOLD IN PICTURES OF SILVER;”
Just published, by the Author of “Home Thrusts,” “Shining Light,” “The Sword that Cuts, the Fire that Burns,” containing a likeness of the author, 456 pages, beautifully illustrated with 100 fine engravings. It is neatly executed, exceedingly tasteful, and beautiful in all respects. Owing to the great variety of topics, the numerous illustrations, we cannot but hope it will be read with interest, delight and profit by all classes, old and young, husbands and wives, parents and children ministers and people, Sabbath-school teachers and superintendents, little folks and great folks. The work is condensed or compressed, and the pith, the point, the essence of everything lovely and of good report, is aimed at in every article, that everything from the beginning to the ending might be in very deed “Apples of Gold in Pictures of Silver.” The saving of the little folks, the making of every household a little Eden, a paradise on earth, is kept constantly and vividly in view. The chaff is sifted from the wheat, the dross from the gold. “Go, apples of gold, to distant lands,
O’er this wide earth, sin-cursed, swiftly speed.” This volume is divided thus: First a chapter for the big folks—then a chapter for the little folks—“Apples of Gold in Pictures of Silver,” all the way through it. “A good book lives when you are dead;
Light on the darkened mind it sheds—
It nurses the gems of holy trust,
It wakes untired when you are dust.” Price, in cloth, per copy, $1.50; gilt, $2.00. Postage 20 cents. Agents wanted. Address D. F. Newton, 303 West Twentieth-st., New York City.
