Here are a few of the good words we are receiving about the Bible:—

PARIS, Ill. "Dear Friends: I received my Bible in fine condition a few days ago. I am perfectly satisfied with it. I think it far superior to what I expected. The aids are the finest I have ever seen."

HOMER, Mich. "Friends: I received the Bible last evening. I am very much pleased with the book. I do not see how such a book can be made for the price. I am very much gratified at the way you have treated me."

From other letters we quote:— "I think it one of the most complete I have ever seen in regard to helps." "The maps alone are worth the price. . . . . . . The aids and word book are worth the price. The useful information to be derived therefrom is not to be estimated in coin. I thank you very much, and hope to better repay you."

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ## SAINT MATTHEW.

CHAPTER 1.

1 The genealogy of Jesus Christ: 18 Mary's miraculous conception; Jesus is born: 21, 23 his names. THE book of the ageneration of Je'sus Christ, ^b the son of Da'vid, the son of A'bra-ham. 2 A'bra-ham begat I'saac; and I'saac be-gat Ja'cob; and Ja'cob begat Ju'das and his brethren; 3 And Ju'das begat Pha'res and Za'ra of Tha'mar; and ^d Pha'res begat Es'rom; and Es'rom begat A'ram; 4 And A'ram begat A'min'a-dab; and Na'as-son begat Sal'mon;

M^a'ry was espoused to Jo'seph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Ho'ly Gho'st. 19 Then Jo'seph her husband, being a just man, ^o and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Jo'seph, thou son of Da'vid, fear not to take unto thee Ma'ry thy wife: for ^v that which is conceived in her is of the Ho'ly Gho'st. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name ^3 JE'SUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

This Bible is not a cheap reprint, but a copyrighted edition from new type-set plates. It contains a complete series of Helps with Illustrations, and a "Word Book" which embraces a Concordance, Subject Index, Gazetteer, Bible Dictionary, etc., all in one alphabetical arrangement. By consulting the Word Book you can find at once what you want, and do not need to look in half a dozen places for it. Every proper name is so marked as to indicate at a glance its proper pronunciation. It is thus absolutely Self-Pronouncing.

This new Bible has Minion type; is bound in American Morocco; has silk head bands, a silk marker, a silk-finish lining, and red under gold edges.
