"UNCLE BEN'S COBBLESTONES."
By W. H. Covell
THIS book beautifully demonstrates in one brief, unique little volume, how the "common things" of life may become more useful than even acres of diamonds; for after all is said and done, it is the ability to use a thing that makes it of real worth to us. Uncle Ben's whole purpose seems to point to "wealth of character" and real "soul culture." There is a ray of sunshine streaming throughout the entire volume. At the same time there is a staid sobriety of good cheer that never once touches the fickle so prevalent in books written for the children of our day. Observation and application are two of the greatest features in character-building. Uncle Ben seems to know what he is talking about along these lines. These two lessons are taught on every page in the book. No child can escape their meaning. And with these lessons there is a moral fragrance, thoughts that can not fail to please every true parent. The spirit of the book is good for the older children. It makes one feel as tho he would like to live a century, doing good, and grow old gracefully. The book contains 218 pages and 266 illustrations. It sells for 75 cents, and is calculated to do good every time and everywhere. Order of Pacific Press Publishing Co., Mountain View, Cal.
