FOR THE FAMILY CIRCLE

THE DESIRE OF AGES

A magnificent volume of 866 7x10-inch pages, the key-note of which is the grand truth that "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself," that in Him every desire and longing of the heart is fully satisfied.

Christ said, "And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me." The working out of this purpose is traced in the life of Christ on earth. It is shown how Christ, as man's representative, endured the temptations by which man is overcome, and conquered in his behalf, and that man, becoming partaker of God's divine nature, is enabled to overcome as Christ overcame. God in Christ, and Christ in His followers, can withstand all the power of Satan. And as Christ came to reveal the love of God, so His followers are to reveal the love of Christ.

From another standpoint this volume is a study of the life of Christ and His disciples, many intensely interesting events in their lives being dwelt on.

To the great family, for whom our Elder Brother lived and died, is the book appropriately dedicated.

Its illustrations alone cost over six thousand dollars, and are strikingly beautiful. Prices range from $2.50 to $7.00.

STEPS TO CHRIST

If there is one book above another that will enable the inquiring soul to take the steps necessary to "rejoice in the Lord," which is the title of the last chapter, that book is "Steps to Christ." The author seems to have anticipated every question that would arise in the mind of the young Christian, and answered them fully and clearly; and yet it is not a book for this class only, but it is esteemed as a companion and comforter by many who have been long in the Christian pathway. Some of its chapters are: "The Sinner's Need of Christ," "Confession," "Repentance," "Consecration," "Test of Discipleship," "Growing Up in Christ," "The Work and the Life," "The Privilege of Prayer," and "What to Do with Doubt."

The English edition is bound in cloth, gilt, at 85 cents; in cloth, plain, 50 cents; and paper at 25 cents. The German, Swedish, Spanish, and Danish, sell for 60 cents; the French, Italian, Finnish, Roumanian, and Hungarian at 75 cents; Japanese, 20 cents.

HOME HAND-BOOK

By John Harvey Kellogg, M. D.

A vast cyclopedia of physiology, hygiene and the treatment of disease. The "Home Hand-Book" presents in simple and untechnical language the best means of preserving health, and explains the most efficient modern methods of regaining it. The work is more thoroughly adapted to the home than any other popular medical work published. It contains the most approved methods for the treatment of more than 600 diseases. The most complete and comprehensive work of the kind ever issued from the press. Nearly 1,700 pages. Illustrated with 500 engravings, including twenty-seven full-page colored plates and a colored manikin.

One of the unique features of the work is an index of symptoms, by the aid of which one can readily discover the nature of his disease, and thus readily learn the means for relief.

Prices range from $4.75 to $9.00, according to style of binding.

SMITH'S BIBLE DICTIONARY

A good Bible dictionary is almost an indispensable thing in the home. It is to the Bible what Webster's Dictionary is to the English language.

This Dictionary contains a full and accurate account of every place and name mentioned in the Bible, which can possibly need explanation; of every animal, plant, or mineral alluded to by the sacred writers; and of every custom, and article of use among Jewish and contemporary nations, to which reference is made in the Bible. It contains also a sufficiently complete history and analysis of each of the books of the Bible, while adequate biographical sketches are given of each of the inspired penmen, and of every historical character mentioned in the Bible.

The value of the chronological dates, maps, explanation of Bible weights and measures, are additional items of merit that must not be overlooked in this work.

The book is illustrated, and contains more than 1,000 pages of closely-written matter. Price, in cloth binding, $1.50.
