Easy Steps in the Bible Story

This is the only book we have for children that gives the story of the Bible in the order of inspiration. The stories of the Bible from creation to Sinai are given in the same order of the Bible, but told in a simple, interesting way, which impresses the children. As the child grows up and reads the same Scriptures in the Bible, the order is not disturbed, and the facts are not confused.
The Biblical association of facts and subjects is of more importance than many appreciate. This is one of the features of Bell's Series of Sabbath-school Lessons that has rendered it so successful for the past twenty years. “Easy Steps in the Bible Story” is a book on the right line, and one that lays a good foundation for a thorough, connected knowledge of the Scriptures. It is the best Bible book for children—a child’s Bible in simple form. The children themselves like it. This is its best recommendation. It ought to be in every home where there are children. Prices, 25 and 50 cts.

A Practical Reference Book

A Guide to Correct Language

BY THE WELL-KNOWN AUTHOR, G. H. BELL
The name of the author of this book is sufficient to guarantee its practicability. Educators all over the country pronounce Professor Bell’s treatise on the English language superior to any other published. The following introduction to the book will give a good idea of its contents:—
“This Guide is intended for reference rather than for study. It should be carefully read, and might be studied with profit; but it need not be learned. It sets forth facts that everybody wants to know, and makes them so easy of access that the book becomes as convenient as a dictionary, and as indispensable. It is a treatise for business men, farmers, and mechanics, as well as for printers, teachers, and students; and will be especially useful to those who write for the press.
“PART ONE.—The term Practical Grammar suggests the character of this part of the work. No attempt is made at parsing or complete analysis. About the parts of speech, and about phrases and clauses, there is just enough said to enable one to understand the rules of syntax and of punctuation. Those who lay no claim to scholarship can learn, by the use of these pages, to write with tolerable accuracy. There are thousands who could once parse well, but who have since that time nearly lost what grammar they learned at school. Such may not have time for thorough study, but they can easily pick up the chief essentials of grammar from the plain statements of this work.
“PART TWO.—The study of Punctuation has been beset with difficulties. Some works on the subject are so brief as to be quite insufficient; while others are so complicated that the student is bewildered in mazes of rules, exceptions, and remarks.
“By a new and entirely different plan, this work is made at once complete and simple. It would be hard to find in our language a good sentence that cannot be thoroughly punctuated by the rules herein given, and yet this completeness does not in the least interfere with the convenience of finding at once the information desired. For instance, the rules relating to the punctuation of a Series are grouped together, and by a glance at the diagram you may see just where to turn in order to find these rules and the examples that illustrate them. Just so it is with the Participial Construction, the Adjective Clauses, Co-ordinate Clauses, etc. You go as directly to the rule you want as you could to a word in the dictionary, and even more so.
“PART THREE.—The Rules for the Use of Capitals are numerous, but are all needed, as may be seen from the examples given to illustrate them. There is such a want of uniformity in the use of capitals as to render the subject an extremely difficult one, but the rules here given are sustained by good usage, and will be sanctioned by the best of scholars.”

Bell’s Series of Bible Lessons

For Sabbath Schools

Full Set Complete

This series of Sabbath-school lessons, bound in eight neat little volumes, was prepared with a view to present to the younger students of the Sabbath-school a consecutive chain of Biblical events, from the creation onward, in language adapted to their comprehension. The style of the author is simple and instructive, and the moral lessons to be drawn from the recorded events are naturally presented, or so suggested that the conclusion is reached by the pupil almost of his own accord.
The lessons are “progressive,” not only from their progression in the order of events, but from the fact that they are graded to correspond with the usual growth and advancement of the pupils intellectually as the study proceeds.
No. 1, ADAM TO MOSES.—Adapted to the capacity of the youngest pupil. Its language is very simple, and the first five lessons are introduced by notes to the teacher concerning the methods of imparting instruction to very young children. These hints are based upon the experience of the author, whose observations in a lifetime of school work enabled him to present in a few words that which is of very great value to those who have to deal with young children in our Sabbath schools. 84 pages. Price, 15 cts.
No. 2, EGYPT TO CANAAN.—A continuation of No. 1, in a style for pupils more advanced, and opening with a review of No. 1, for the benefit of the pupils who have not studied that book. 120 pages. Price, 20 cts.
No. 3, MOSES TO SOLOMON.—With a series of maps, and other new and interesting features. 132 pages. Price, 25 cts.
No. 4, FROM THE BEGINNING OF SOLOMON'S REIGN TO THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE AFTER THE CAPTIVITY.—This volume is one of the most interesting of the series, introducing the splendor of Solomon's court, his wealth, wisdom, and glory, his illustrious visitors, and their comments on what they saw and heard. This is succeeded by a brief notice of all the kings of Judah and Israel, the final downfall of both kingdoms, the captivity of the Jews, their return to Jerusalem, and the rebuilding of the temple. 162 pages. Price, 25 cts.
No. 5, FROM THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE BY ZERUBBABEL TO THE SENDING OUT OF THE TWELVE DISCIPLES BY THEIR LORD.—This number brings the student to the close of the Old Testament and the opening of the New, thus connecting the two dispensations, and showing their intimate relations. It includes the early life of Christ. 172 pages. Price, 25 cts.
No. 6, FROM THE SENDING OUT OF THE TWELVE DISCIPLES TO THE WEEK OF OUR LORD'S PASSION.—174 pages. Price, 25 cts.
No. 7, FROM OUR LORD'S LAST PASSOVER TO THE SENDING OUT OF PAUL AND BARNABAS TO THE GENTILES.—101 pages. Price, 20 cts.
No. 8, THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES.—This book contains 69 lessons, adapted to advanced pupils. 131 pages. Price, 20 cts.
THE FULL SET.—For some time in the past we have not been able to furnish Numbers 1 and 4 of this series, but we have just secured a good supply of these numbers, and can fill orders for the full set, from 1–8.

Revised Scripture References in the German Language

The old German “Scripture References” tract has just been carefully revised, and two important subjects added, Conversion and Baptism.
The object of this tract is to assist the reader in the study of the Scriptures by topics. The subjects treated in this little work are as follows: The Scriptures; The Second Advent; The Resurrection; Signs That Show Christ’s Coming Near; Inheritance of the Saints; The Millennium; The Sanctuary; The Christian’s Lawgiver; The Sabbath; The First Day of the Week; Immortality; Spiritualism; Nature of Man; The Destiny of the Wicked; Soul in the Old Testament; Spirit in the Old Testament; Spirit in the New Testament; Hell; Perpetuity of the Spiritual Gifts; The Two Covenants; Conversion; and Baptism.
While it is not expected that an abridged work like this will contain all that the Scriptures teach upon these important topics, it has proved to be one of the most valuable tracts published for general circulation. It gives quite a full explanation, and cites Scripture texts in proof for all the subjects mentioned above. It is one of the best tracts to mail to friends or to send out in missionary work.
The same tract, excepting the two subjects added, is published in the English language. Price in each language, 2 cents.
