"Those Bible Readings."

By Editor

Several years ago Mrs. L. D. Avery-Stuttle contributed to this journal a series of articles, in the form of a story, giving an account of family Bible-readings, held by a father, which became so interesting that several of the neighbors came in and joined the Bible studies. Requests came in repeatedly that these should be placed in book form, and this has at last been done by the Pacific Press, in a neat volume of twenty-five chapters, and over 200 pages. These Bible studies include the inspiration of the Bible, the second coming of our Lord, the prophetic field, the law of the Most High, the Sabbath commandment, the voice of conscience, the grandmother's story, spiritualism, the wages of sin, justification by faith, etc., etc. It is an interesting and instructive little book, which ought to duplicate itself in the experience of many families. The price is postpaid 75 cents. Address, Pacific Press, Mountain View, Cal., or any of its branch or state depositories.

The "American Prohibition Year Book" for 1908 comes to our table from the Lincoln Temperance Press, 92 La Salle Street, Chicago, Ill. It certainly should be consulted in these days of Prohibition booming. It is double the usual size and contains thirteen departments: "Almanac," "Total Abstinence," "Consumption and Cost of Drink," "Economics," "Criminology," "Legislation," "Results of Legislation," "The Liquor Trade," "A National Problem," "Political Action and Methods," "Party Records," "Religious Bodies," "Courts and Decisions," "Election Returns," "Organization and Lists." We especially commend to statesmen and politicians the departments on "Cost of Drink," and "Economics." If people could see this question aright, all, including the liquor men, would be prohibitionists. The editor of the Year Book is Alonzo E. Nelson, and the associate editor, Alfred R. Heath. The price is 50 cents cloth, and 25 cents paper covered. Address as above.

Herald It On.

Some years ago this journal published a specially decorated page of the Decalogue, with many testimonies from the Old and New Testaments relating thereto. Twice since then it has presented the law in the same striking form. The Watchman (Southern Publishing Association, Nashville, Tenn.) has embodied the idea in a page, with a picture of Sinai at the top, and a quotation from Rev. Geo. Elliot at the bottom. It has of necessity a less number of scriptures in the margin. It is printed in three colors, on plate paper, and makes an excellent wall chart. Price, single copies, five cents. Address as above.

It would not seem that the automobile with its rubber tires would be a menace to good roads. But the claim is now made that the whizzing of these machines over the roads stirs up the rock dust that helps to make the roads smooth, and the winds carry it away. During recent years it is claimed that there has been a deterioration of 40 per cent in the roads where there is much travel by the automobile, and an international congress is proposed to study the matter.
