"APPLES OF GOLD."

By Editor

THE above term is used in Prov. 25:11, the Revised Version of which reads, "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in baskets of silver." That is, a word appropriately spoken, fitting to the occasion, is like beautiful golden fruit in baskets of silver filagree work. Apples of Gold Library, with the above text as its motto, is the name of a new serial publication issued by the Pacific Press Publishing Company, Oakland, Cal. It will be published monthly, of a size suitable to send in a No. 6 envelope. This is a publication which has been under consideration and in the embryotic stage for over a year, and it has now matured. Each number will be from four to sixteen pages, not exceeding the latter, suitable to slip into an envelope and send with a letter to those with whom we are corresponding. The nature of the matter printed in this library will be biblical, spiritual, and helpful in the Christian pilgrimage. The title of the first number is "Looking unto Jesus," written by that thoroughly evangelical Frenchman, Theodore Monod. It consists of 8 pp. and sells for 50 cents per hundred. The price of the Library is 10 cents a year. Address as above.
