“SCIENCE AND ART OF BIBLE-READING,” by G. K. Owen, 35 Carr Street, Los Angeles, Cal.; 68 pages. Price, 20 cents; $10 per hundred.

This is a most valuable pamphlet both for the public Bible-reader and for the private Bible student. It teaches not only how to give Bible-readings, but how to study the Bible and also how to remember that which is learned. It is a valuable little work and should be in the hands of every lover of divine truth.

“THROUGH MIGHTY WATERS SAVED,” by Laird & Lee, Chicago. Price, paper, 25 cents; cloth, 50 cents.

This book is a story of the Johnstown flood, and, though a romance, it gives, the author claims, the “fully authenticated facts and particulars of the terrible catastrophe which overwhelmed Johnstown, Penn., and its outlying suburbs, on the evening of May 31, 1889, whereby more than 10,000 human beings were hurled to a speedy, fearful death.” The book would be more in accordance with our ideas if it were a history pure and simple; but the sugar-coating of romance which is given to the stern facts may make them more palatable to a novel-reading generation.
