Religious Book Notices

"The Mysteries of God." By W. J. Dalmage, Milsap, Ontario. Forty pages, bound in light green cloth with gold title.

The plan of this book is to present the mysteries of the plan of salvation from creation to final restoration. It is given in verse, and is fairly well told, tho the rhythm is not always the best, being mechanical and occasionally ungrammatical. Barring a few theological errors, the work is readable and of interest, tho not from a strictly poetical standpoint.

Christ Our Saviour.—By Mrs. E. G. White. We have in this book the life of Christ our Saviour from His birth to ascension, given in simple and direct language. It is printed in large, clear type, and is finely illustrated by engravings made especially for it. The simplicity with which this "Old, Old Story" is told, the aptness of the illustrations, and the general appearance of the better-bound styles, will attract and hold the reader's attention to the very close. 182 large octavo pages, and bound as follows: Fine English cloth, 75c; cloth back, board covers, in colors, 50c.

Also in German, Danish, Spanish, and Swedish at same prices. Address this office.
