Books that Help

In the Home

To Make Home “the Best Place on Earth”

¶ Men and women of the world to-day are realizing that with the destruction of the home comes the destruction of the nation. Articles are appearing day by day in the leading journals, calling the attention of the masses to the responsibility which they have in preserving the home life. Surely we should not be behind in this matter. For helpful suggestions, you will find the little book, “Making Home Happy,” invaluable. It tells how one home that was not “the dearest place on earth” was made a haven of rest and happiness. No one should be without this book, for the price is within the reach of all,—25 cents for paper, and 50 cents for the cloth binding.

¶ Our home here is but a preface to the home above, and the little book, “Our Paradise Home,” gives the beauties of our home above, and adds a daily incentive. The price is also 25 and 50 cents.

To Keep the Children in Evenings

¶ Nothing interests a child so much as the common things around us. God’s works of creation are limitless; and the deeper we look into them, the more we find. In “Uncle Ben’s Cobblestones” many of the commonplace things of life are made to appear in their best light. New things of interest are found in such common articles as salt, paper, coal, bread, air, water, pins, and needles. The book will furnish many hours of amusement for the little ones. Price, $1.

¶ No one hears the cheering song of the birds but wishes to become better acquainted with our feathered friends. L. A. Reed, in a book called “My Garden Neighbors,” gives a new insight into the habits of these little messengers of happiness, and makes us feel really akin to them. The price of this book is $1.

To Interest the Young in the Bible

¶ Every child longs to travel, and see the sights in the great world beyond. Not all are permitted to do this, but any one, for the small amount of $1, may take a trip with Miss Leona M. Bicknell to Africa, seeing with her eyes strange sights in this far-away land. Ostrich farms, diamond mines, and strange wild animals are described by this little girl as she saw them herself. This is not a book for grown people, but one which the children will enjoy.

¶ Every child loves a story, and while the mind is young, impressions sink deep. How necessary, then, that the first impressions should be the best! “Best Stories from the Best Book” is truly what its name signifies,—a collection of stories from the Bible, which will ever retain the children’s interest. This book is also moderately priced, in three styles of binding—paper, board, and cloth—at 25, 50, and 75 cents respectively.

To Lighten Mothers’ Work

¶ A true knowledge of one’s self is the best defense against the inroads of Satan among our young people. Mothers often find it difficult to talk to their children about personal things. They will find great advantage in the little books, “Almost a Man” and “Almost a Woman,” while “Teaching Truth” will give many added thoughts to the mother on the value of early imparting this knowledge which is so necessary. The price of these books in the cloth binding is 50 cents.

¶ When tired with the day’s work, and at your wits’ end to know what to prepare for the next meal, “A Friend in the Kitchen” comes truly as a “friend in need.” You should not be without the aid of this valuable little book, for the small price of 25 and 50 cents.
