Best Stories from the Best Book

By JAMES EDSON WHITE

In the preparation of this book, the author has succeeded in combining two volumes in one.

THE INTRODUCTORY DEP’T

By ELLA KING SANDERS

was prepared with special reference as an A B C book, primer and reader for the children.

THIS DEPARTMENT

contains forty-seven lessons in natural history considering birds, bees, butterflies, insects, etc., also the beautiful trees, flowers, and shrubbery. Each lesson is profusely illustrated, many of the illustrations being color plates.

BIBLE STORY DEPARTMENT

While the children are learning to read from the “Easy Lessons” department, the parents and elder brothers and sisters can read to them these Bible stories, explaining the beautiful pictures accompanying them. The intention of the author has been to present a connected chain of the events from creation, through the ministry of Christ on earth, and to the restoration of the first dominion.

These stories have been prepared with special reference to teaching the truth. Many vital points of present truth are considered in a manner to cause a deeper investigation of these subjects from the Bible.

What Others Say of It.

I take pleasure in saying that, to my mind, “Best Stories from the Best Book” is the best work of its kind I have ever seen. I find that it is exceedingly interesting to children of all ages from four to fourteen.

FREDERICK GRIGGS. Principal South Lancaster Academy.

I like “Best Stories” very much. It is a ready seller, and an excellent book for our young people to sell.

F. E. PAINTER, State Agent.

I find “Best Stories” very attractive to the children, as the illustrations are so beautiful, and the story so simply and impressively told. This is by far the best book I ever saw for young people. The truths presented in this book certainly make it a work that can not fail to bring much-needed light to many who have been reading the Bible for years. It is an excellent help for our canvassers.

Easy Steps in the Bible Story

By ADELAIDE B. COOPER Editor of the Youth’s Instructor. Introduction by ELDER S. N. HASKELL.

Contains the very lesson which God instructed the patriarchs of old to instill into the hearts and minds of their little ones. The Lord commanded them, saying, “Thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates,” and “thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.”

The illustrations were designed expressly for this book, and are practical. They have been prepared for the special purpose of aiding the child in gaining a correct and intelligent idea of the Bible story—not simply to please the eye.

The Opinion of Those Who Have Read It.

The morning my copy of “Easy Steps” came, I removed the wrapper, and, beginning with the title-page, read every line in the book before laying it down. I found it to be just what its name implies, “Easy Steps in the Bible Story.” My little boy, not quite five years old, can not read a word. Yet he can give a connected account of almost the whole story by the simple, yet expressive illustrations. I hope that thousands of children will be provided with this book, and will get the instruction and pleasure from it that our little boy has.

ELDER A. G. DANIELS, President Australasian Union Conference Field. Oakland, Cal., Jan. 17, 1901.

That best of all the Bible books for the children, “Easy Steps in the Bible Story,” gains the unqualified approval of the children themselves. And that is the best possible testimonial in its favor. They are glad to read it more than once. And the book will bear reading more than once; that is its strength.

ELDER A. T. JONES.

My little ten-year-old girl was so eager to read “Easy Steps in the Bible Story” that I could hardly get hold of it at first. It is safe to say that for the child who has read this book, and gazed upon its impressive illustrations, the Bible will possess new attractions. It is alike helpful to parents and teachers.

MRS. VIOLA E. SMITH. Sergeant Bluff, Iowa.

My copy of “Easy Steps” is at hand, and I have read it with much pleasure. The book arrived before I came home, and my wife read it to our little girl, three-and-one-half years old, and she is completely carried away with it. I brought her home some other books of a like description, but my wife and little girl think “Easy Steps” the most interesting of all. It is a veritable jewel in text and gem in art. I believe that book bids fair to have a large sale.

When the little girl was asleep, I sold the book to a canvasser to use as a sample book; and when she awoke, I had to put her off by telling her that I would find it for her. I made haste to procure another one at once.

S. E. WIGHT. Bedford, Mich., Dec. 6, 1900.

God would have the story of the creation; of the flood; of his servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; of Joseph and Moses; and the deliverance of the children of Israel,—of his wonderful dealing with mankind,—repeated in the language of the people. This is what “Easy Steps” does. It gives the story of what God says, and what he has done in his dealings with the children of men.

ELDER S. N. HASKELL.

The book contains 160 pages, table of contents, and list of illustrations. There are more than 150 pen drawings illustrating the text. It also contains many full-page illustrations. Beautiful cover design. Two styles of binding:—
