By Land and Sea
Through Five Continents. An interesting book of travels. The author is inclined to look upon the bright side of his experiences, hence the reader is not called upon to listen to drawn-out recitals of personal inconvenience.
The spirit of the narrative freshens the mind respecting important geographical facts and historical incidents. Through the experience of the author, the reader almost unconsciously learns the altitude of the highest mountains, the comparative population of great cities, and the location, defenses and importance of leading seaports. He crosses the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and passes through the Red Sea and Suez Canal; he ascends lofty mountains, and descends into the interior of the Pyramids; to convince him that travel is not all pleasure, he is introduced to an American blizzard, and a storm at sea; he views the defile into which the Israelites huddled when fleeing from the haughty Pharaoh, and the wilderness in which they afterwards wandered forty years; he visits Jerusalem and becomes familiar with the Mount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, and the little town of Bethany; he goes down to Jericho, and is shown where the man "fell among thieves;" he wanders among the ancient ruins of Pompeii, and in the distance beholds Vesuvius; passing on he stops at Berlin, the magnificent capital of Germany, and strolls along the celebrated "Unter den Linden;" awestruck he gazes upon the grandeur of the Alps, and nearly surrounded with ancient landmarks, he floats down that river so often mentioned in song and story—the Rhine.
The book contains over 400 pages, profusely illustrated, with the following bindings and prices:
Cloth, with attractive side stamp, $2.25.
Cloth, with gilt edges, $2.75.

By a Native Daughter. Third edition. Illustrated. 266 pages, $1.00.
"It is unique and well worth reading."—Christian Advocate.
"This is a chapter in history, but it reads like a romance."—Christian Observer.
"No better romance can be found in the annals of truth. No story of the tropics can enlist the interest of the young with more intensity, or convey a better idea of the power and goodness of God, than this."—Christian Cynosure.
"Towards the close of the last century, the crew of an English sloop of war mutinied, set their captain and eighteen men adrift, and sailed for Tahiti. Of their subsequent life, this book tells the story."—Public Opinion.
"The subject of this story is one of the most romantic in human annals. All is graphically told in this little volume, which, in its way, is as wonderful as Robinson Crusoe."—Christian Standard.
"No novelist ever conceived a tale more romantic than that of the mutiny of the English vessel, the Bounty, on its way across the Pacific. The story is full of admirable lessons, which are not missed by the writer of the book, herself a descendant of one of the mutineers and a native of the little island."—Golden Rule.

The Gospel in Creation
By Dr. E. J. Waggoner. 169 pages; illustrated; bound in cloth, 40c.
It is easy to overlook the fact that Moses wrote the Gospel as truly in Genesis as did Paul to the Romans; and this leads us to forget that the power employed in creation, and that pledged for our redemption, are one and the same thing.
The author of this book has placed the Bible record of the works of creation and redemption side by side, thus enabling the reader to obtain a clear knowledge of the subject treated.
Sunshine for Shut-Ins
Compiled by a "Shut-In." Says the compiler of this little volume:
"If these extracts, gathered from many sources, may carry to other hearts the sunshine of assurance in God's love and tenderness, even in the darkest hours, that they have brought into one shut-in life, no one will rejoice more in the knowledge than the compiler."
It contains 204 pages, attractively bound in cloth; price; 75c.
