NEW LITERATURE.

THREE more numbers of the Apples of Gold Library are now ready. They treat of Prayer, the Millennium, and Christian Help duties.

PRAYER. No. 52. By Arthur T. Pierson, D.D., Editor of Missionary Review of the World. Price, $1.00 per 100.

“As surely as God is lifting His people in these latter times to a higher level of life, and moving them to a more unselfish and self-denying service, there will be a new emphasis laid upon supplication and especially upon intercession,” are among the opening words of this truly golden number. The Oklahoma Gleaner refers to it as “one of the best little tracts that has been published of late.” It will bring new life and light into your church, missionary society and home.

THE WINNING OF MARGARET. No. 53. By Fannie E. Bolton. Price, $1.00 per 100.

How Margaret and her skeptical friend Ralph were converted. Ralph sees nothing but war and confusion in the world and pride and selfishness in the church; while Margaret, tho a Bible believer, shares his view, and can not reconcile it with the orthodox idea of the millennium. As a result, the former is a skeptic, and the latter, in her own words, is “like a poor bird beating its wings against the wires of a cage in a vain attempt to find liberty of spirit.” How she found that liberty, and Ralph came to see in all this a fulfilment of the Scriptures, is an interesting and well-told story.

UNAWARES—“YE DID IT UNTO ME.” By unknown authors. Price, 50 cents per 100.

This number consists of two poems, the object of which is to impress the mind with the fact that Christ often seeks our hospitality in the guise of the sick and suffering. The first poem closes thus:—

“And He said, ‘The sin is pardoned, But the blessing is lost to thee; For, failing to comfort the least of Mine, You have failed to comfort Me.’ ”

In view of the terrible poverty and distress among our large cities and elsewhere, literature on this subject is peculiarly appropriate and will, we believe, be generally appreciated.
