THE SELF-PRONOUNCING S. S. TEACHER'S COMBINATION BIBLE, Showing in Simple Form all Changes, Additions, and Omissions made by the Revisers in the King James Version. National Publishing Company, 239 Levant Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

We gladly welcome all helps to Bible study, and everything which will stimulate interest in the Word of God. We welcome the above gladly. The copy before us is bourgeois type, is self-pronouncing in all proper names, has all the changes, additions, and omissions in the Revised Versions in foot-notes, easily caught by the eye, showing in an instant the difference between the two versions. It also has the excellent helps, conformable to that of the Oxford Bible. The maps are excellent. The plan of combination is the best we have seen. But why do the publishers call it the "S. S. Teacher's" Bible? Ministers want it, and all Bible students want it, whether "S. S. teachers" or not. Why not call it simply "Combination Bible," or "Bible Student's Combination Bible"? Particulars of price, etc., may be obtained by addressing as above.
