FromSigns of the Times, Vol. 40, No. 14.

“Leather Bound Pocket Series.” We have received five volumes from Funk & Wagnalls, the beginning of a series of books entitled “The Leather Bound Pocket Series.” The first five volumes are as follows:

“The Misfortune of a World Without Pain,” by Newell Dwight Hillis, D.D., LL.D. “The Conversation of Womanhood and Childhood,” by Theodore Roosevelt. “The Latent Energies in Life,” by Charles Reynolds Brown, D.D. “The Signs of the Times,” by William Jennings Bryan. “The Call of Jesus to Joy,” by William Elliot Griffiths, D.D., L.H.D.

Each of these volumes is 16 mo., bound in flexible leather with gilt tops and gold cover designs. Price 75 cents each, net; by mail 78 cents.

We have read “The Call of Jesus to Joy,” “The Signs of the Times,” “The Latent Energies of Life,” and “The Misfortune of a World Without Pain.” All of these are excellent and suggestively helpful, especially “The Latent Energies of Life,” by Dr. Brown. They are very convenient little books to slip into one’s pocket, taking no space at all, scarcely, and they will serve to employ usefully idle moments which may intervene in waiting times. Dr. Brown’s little work is full of inspiration to people of all ages, and all of them contain more or less that is helpful and inspiring. We may not agree with all which the authors say, but we will find some things in all of the books to help. The binding is very neat and tasteful, the type clear and inviting.

“The Magnet,” a powerful money romance, by Alfred Owen Crozier, author of “United States Money versus Corporation.” Published by The Magnet Company, Provident Bank Building, Cincinnati, Ohio.

The purpose of the author is to set before the public in a taking narrative form the battles of modern giants in the world of finance, in which the mighty figures of finance are dealt with in a conversational way, and the great financial characters of the day are acting under assumed names. It presents some very striking conditions.

Second edition, revised and enlarged. American Sabbath Tract Society, Plainfield, New Jersey. In cloth binding 50 cents, paper covers 25 cents.

The design of the book is for use by pastors, Sabbath-schools, young people’s classes, home study, etc.; consisting of two parts,—part first regarding the Old Testament, subdivided into: “Beginnings of History;” “Moses, the Exodus, and the Law;”
