A NEW WORK FOR CHILDREN.

(By Mrs. Adelaide Bee Evans.)

When the four volumes which comprise the above work were put into our hands they looked suspiciously like publications that one had particularly avoided m the past. Upon investigation, it was found that the books are actually published by "The Signs Publishing Cot," Th^t IJact very nearly condemned them, but, with a desire to be fair, we eventually decided to look further into the matter. The result is that we cannot do otherwise than say that "The Signs" have given to the children

a very beautiful work, and one which is calculated to increase their knowledge and appreciation of the Scriptures. The reading matter is singularly free from a "point of view," and there is not the slightest attempt at propaganda. The stories from the Bible are simply and cleverly told, a feature being the way m which big words are broken up for easy reading. The tspe is everything that can be desired. But the joy of this work is m the illustrations. ' There are reproductions m beautiful form of many of the masterpieces on Biblical subjects, and the black and white drawings are extremely well done. The Church, so far as we know, has produced nothing to compare with these books, and they are just the thing for teachers of primary children m our Sunday Schools'. The price is 34/- the set, and the value is good. — (Ed. W.C.G.)
