Charles L. Thompson, Sec’y Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian
Church, says:
“The twenty-one years which the Rev. Livingston F. Jones spent as a
missionary in Alaska gave him peculiar fitness for a study of the
Thlingets of Alaska. He covers the ground on their history, their
language, their social life and industries, their customs, superstitions
and characters in a clear and informing way. This book will be a
valuable addition to the literature of the Territory.”

Illustrated, 12mo, boards, net 50c.
Old Andy the Moonshiner, wrinkled and lovable, “Maw,” and “Sary,”
faithful types all, of the illiterate whites of the Appalachian
Mountains, speak eloquently from these pages of this little volume of
the need there is for remedying a state of things which is a stigma to
the country, and a menace to her future welfare.

“The stories are taken from the work of the Salvation Army and embrace a
number of the classes of society to which that organization renders its

Who wouldn’t like to sit down by an old Indian and hear from his lips
the story of his life and the lives of the people? Certainly every
American boy or girl would, and that is just what is offered to the
fortunate boys and girls who use this either as a text book in their
Home Missionary Societies, or as their very own book.
_GEORGE EDWARD HAWES_
=The Fresh Air Child=
12mo, cloth, net 50c.
This simple little tale will carry the sure appeal of unprotected and
unparented childhood to the heart of the reader. As a campaign document
in the interests of fresh air and better homes for the stifled and
abandoned children of our great cities, it will make an irresistible and
most effective appeal.

_MARY LANE DWIGHT_
=Children of Labrador=
Illustrated, 16mo, cloth, net 60c.
It is hard to picture a more delightful addition to “The Children’s
Missionary Series” than this vivid story of Dr. Grenfell’s land. Its
simplicity and clearness appeals to children, yet grown-ups will be
equally fascinated in its descriptions of the children of the Eskimos
and fishermen of this barren land, so pathetically described by an old
native as “wonderful bleak and dreary.”

BIOGRAPHY
_EDWARD A. STEINER_ _Author of “On the Trail of the Immigrant”_
=From Alien to Citizen=
The Story of My Life in America. Illustrated, 8vo, net $1.50.
In this wonderfully interesting book we see Professor Steiner evolving
from boyhood in a far-off Hungarian town, into an immigrant to the West;
then, year by year, undergoing experiences, the story of which is
conducive to a better understanding of what the alien has to endure in
order to gradually adjust himself to American conditions and
institutions. Real life is portrayed first among the racial wrongs and
hatred of southern Europe, then in the steerage of the ocean liner; in
New York, Princeton, Pittsburgh, and cities further west. Through and in
it all, we see Professor Steiner, pressing ever forward and upward to
the position of opportunity and influence he occupies to-day.
_H. ROSWELL BATES_
=The Life of H. Roswell Bates=
A Biographical Sketch by S. RALPH HARLOW. With Portraits. 12mo, cloth,
net $1.00.
The author of this short “Life” knew Roswell Bates from his early years,
and presents a satisfying picture of the man as he really was; at work
and play; laboring, spending himself for others, giving of his best to
“Spring Street,” on the lower west side of New York, and going to his
rest before he reached his prime, yet with a great life-work well and
nobly done.
_HERRICK JOHNSON, D.D._
=Herrick Johnson=
An Appreciative Memoir by Rev. Charles E. Robinson, D.D. With Three
Portraits. Cloth, net $1.25.
A faithful and convincing survey of the life and life-work of one of the
great, formative figures of American Presbyterianism. Dr. Robinson
enjoyed an almost life-long friendship with his subject, and is thereby
enabled to present a satisfying picture of Herrick Johnson as student,
pastor, seminary professor, and church statesman, such as no mere
biographer could possibly have furnished.
_RAY STRACHEY_
=A Quaker Grandmother=: Hannah Whitall Smith
_Reminiscences of the author of “The Christian’s Secret of a Happy
Life”_
Illustrated, 16mo, cloth, net $1.00.
Hannah Whitall Smith was one of the great formative, religious
influences of her time. She was a philanthropist, a mother in Israel, a
spiritual guide. Yet it is with none of these things that the present
sketch has to do. It depicts her in simple relations of life only--that
of a grandmother to her grandchildren.
_MRS. E. M. WHITTEMORE_
Delia, the Blue Bird of Mulberry Bend
Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, net 75c.; paper, net 35c.

_PAUL SEIPPEL_
A Huguenot Saint of the Twentieth Century
The Life of Adèle Kamm. Translated from the French by Olive Wyon. With
Portrait. Net $1.25.
A short biography which imparts more wisdom on the problem of suffering
than a whole shelf-full of treatises. It is an account of the brief,
pain-racked life of a sweet-souled follower of Jesus who passed from
earth in 1911, at the age of twenty-five. Into the last six years of the
life of this little Swiss girl were crowded experiences of God’s
presence and of human need, of Divine support and of self-dedicatory
usefulness for others, such as would have done honor to even a long
life.
_WILLIAM A. SUNDAY, D.D._
The Real Billy Sunday
By ELIJAH (“RAM’S HORN”) BROWN. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, net $1.00.
“This volume is prepared by a gifted writer who has long been a personal
friend of Mr. Sunday’s, and who was for many years his associate in
evangelistic labors. It begins with his birth in an early Iowa log cabin
and follows him down to the present. It tells the story of his early
experiences, his baseball associations, his conversion and his work in
successive meetings. It is a wonderful story, delightful almost
overpowering as a narrative of the grace of God, and full of the most
interesting facts and incidents. No one who reads it will find a dull
page in it, nor will he ever question whether the day of revivals has
passed.”--_Herald and Presbyter._

=The Torch Bearer=
A Camp Fire Girl’s Story. Illustrated, net $1.00.
“A story of Camp Fire life both in the city meetings and in active camp
in the country, it shows with graphic clearness what this great movement
will mean to thousands of girls. The author has made this appeal the
underlying burden of the narrative, all the more poignant because it is
made without any attempt at effort. An interesting tale for not only the
initiated but the uninitiated as well.”--Washington Times.
_MARY STEWART_ _Author of “Tell Me a True Story,” etc._
=The Shepherd of Us All=
Stories of the Christ Retold for Children. Illustrated, net $1.25.

favorites, even unto the giants, are found, and there is not a word to
keep the most nervous youngster from sleeping as do the
just.”--_Baltimore Sun._

_WAYNE WHIPPLE_
The Story-Life of the Son of Man
8vo, illustrated, net $2.50.
“A literary mosaic, consisting of quotations from a great number of
writers concerning all the events of the Gospels. The sub-title
accurately describes its contents. That sub-title is ‘Nearly a thousand
stories from sacred and secular sources in a continuous and complete
chronicle of the earth life of the Saviour.’ The book was prepared for
the general reader, but will be valuable to minister, teacher and
student. There are many full-page engravings from historic paintings and
sacred originals, some reproduced for the first time.”--_Christian
Observer._
_GAIUS GLENN ATKINS, D.D._
Pilgrims of the Lonely Road
12mo, cloth, net $1.50.
“A rare book for its style, its theme and the richness of its insight.
Seldom is seen a book of more exquisite grace of diction--happy
surprises of phrase, and lovely lengths of haunting prose to delight the
eye. Each of the great pilgrim’s studies is followed step by step along
the lonely way of the soul in its quest of light, toward the common goal
of all--union with the eternal.”--_Chicago Record-Herald._
_S. D. GORDON_
Quiet Talks on Following The Christ
12mo, cloth, net 75c.
“This volume is well calculated to aid in Christian life, to give
strength, courage and light on difficult problems. It grips one’s very
life, brings one face to face with God’s word, ways of understanding it
and, even its every day application. It is plain, clear, direct, no
confusion of dark sentences.”--_Bapt. Observer._
_G. CAMPBELL MORGAN, D.D._
The Teaching of Christ
A Companion Volume to “The Crises of The Christ.” 8vo, cloth, net $1.50.
“One does not read far before he is amazed at the clear and logical
grasp Dr. Morgan has upon divine truths. Could a copy of this book, with
its marvelous insight, its straightforwardness, its masterly appeal, be
placed in the hands of our church leaders, it would go far toward
negativing the spiritual barrenness of destructive criticism. Here is a
work that may profitably occupy a prominent place in the minister’s
library.”--_Augsburg Teacher._

pervades the book which is one for lovers of real literature to
enjoy.”--_Pittsburgh Post._

Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, net $1.25.
“Probably there is no man on this continent to-day who hat done more to
clean things up than Mr. Comstock has, or shown more splendid courage
and endurance in the doing of it. It is a splendid story, that will not
only inspire its readers, but will send many a man out himself for the
good cause of cleanness and righteousness in the land.”--_Christian
Guardian._
_FRANK J. CANNON--DR. GEORGE L. KNAPP_
=Brigham Young and His Mormon Empire=
Illustrated, 8vo, cloth, net $1.50.
“Senator Cannon was born a Mormon, but has since seen light.
Nevertheless, his story of Brigham Young’s life is not a polemic. Born
in a Puritan home, endowed with a forceful personality and a gift for
administration, Brigham Young is one of the most picturesque characters
in our American life, and his biography reads like a chapter in the life
of an ancient patriarch, a modern politician and a business promoter all
rolled together.”--_Congregationalist._
_CLARA E. LAUGHLIN_ _Author of “Everybody’s Lonesome”_
=The Work-A-Day Girl=
A Study of Present Day Conditions. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, net $1.50.
“Sociologically considered, this is a most important work, written by a
woman who has personally investigated the conditions she recites. Her
knowledge, bought by years of service, proves that environment alone is
not responsible for the perils of unguarded girlhood. For that reason
the book appeals individually to all who come in touch with the workaday
girl, and teaches that whether or not we be our brother’s keeper, there
is no doubt as to our responsibility toward our little sister of
toil.”--_Washington Evening Star._
_FREDERIC J. HASKIN_ _Author of “The American Government”_
The Immigrant: An Asset and a Liability 12mo, cloth, net $1.25.
“Persons are asking how they may best do their duty and their whole duty
to those coming to our shores. This book is a valuable light on the
subject. It is full of facts and it is a capable and conscientious study
as to the meaning of the facts. Any thoughtful person will find here
much valuable material for study and the book is calculated to do much
good.”--_Herald and Presbyter._
