REMINISCENCES OF ORIEL COLLEGE AND THE
OXFORD MOVEMENT.
BY T. MOZLEY, formerly Fellow of Oriel. 2 vols. Crown 8vo. $3.
The Oxford movement was not only one of the most important in
the religious history of England, but so many famous men were
conspicuous in it that it had a remarkable personal, as well as
historic interest. Newman, Pusey, Keble, and many other notable men
figure in Mr. Mozley’s engaging “Reminiscences,” which are full of
anecdotes and recollections that will be read with nearly as great
zest in America as in England. Mr. Mozley was for years one of the
leading writers on the London _Times_ and his book is crowded with
interesting facts and glimpses of interesting people.

_Edited by CHAS. F. DEEMS, D.D., LL. D.,
Pastor of the Church of the Strangers,
New York._
50 volumes. 16mo. $29.00.
“The fifty volumes contained in this Library have been procured
at much expense, and selected from a great number of manuscripts.
They have been submitted to my inspection, and each volume has been
examined.
“There is not a sentence in any of these books to which any
Christian patriot can reasonably object, whatever may be his
denominational attachments, his political affiliations, or his
sectional residence.
“Taken as a whole, the Library may safely be commended to families
and Sunday Schools in any part of the whole country, and in any
part of the church universal, as containing nothing but good books,
many of which are very superior to the average of this class of
literature. I believe that I am serving the cause of the Master in
aiding in the circulation of these excellent volumes.”
CHARLES F. DEEMS,
_Pastor of the Church of the Strangers_.

[Illustration: THE RISING SUN STOVE POLISH]
For beauty of gloss, for saving of toil,
For freeness from dust and slowness to soil,
And also for cheapness ’tis yet unsurpassed,
And thousands of merchants are selling it fast.
Of all imitations ’tis well to beware;
The half risen sun every package should bear;
For this is the “trade mark” the MORSE BROS. use,
And none are permitted the mark to abuse.

AN EXTRAORDINARY OFFER!
——— (O) ———
There are a number of persons out of employment in every county—yet
energetic men willing to work do not need to be. Those willing
to work can make from $100 to $500 a month clear, working for us
in a pleasant and permanent business. The amount our agents make
varies—some making as high as $500 a month, while others as low as
$100, all depending on the energy of the agent. We have an article
of great merit. It should be sold to every house-owner, and pays
over 100 per cent. profit Each sale is from $3.50 to $10.00. One
agent in Pennsylvania sold 32 in two days, and cleared $64. An
agent in New York made $45 in one day. Any man with energy enough
to work a full day, and will do this during the year, can make from
$2,000 to $6,000 a year. We only want one man in each county, and
to him will give the exclusive sale as long as he continues to work
faithfully for us. There is no competition, and nothing like our
invention made. Parties having from $200 to $1,000 to invest can
obtain a General Agency for ten counties or a state. Any one can
make an investment of from $25 to $1,000 without the least risk
of loss, as our circulars will show that those investing $25 can,
after a 30 days’ trial, return the goods unsold to us and get their
money back, if they do not clear at least $100. They show that a
General Agent who will take ten counties and invest $216 can, after
a trial of 90 days, return all goods unsold to us, and have money
returned to them if they fail to clear at least $750 in that time.
We are not paying salaries, but want men willing to work and obtain
as their pay the profits of their energy. Men not willing to work
on our terms will not work on any. _Those meaning business_ will
receive our large descriptive circular, and extraordinary offer
by enclosing a three-cent stamp, with their address. The first to
comply with our terms will secure the county or counties they may
wish to work. Address, RENNER MANUFACTURING CO.,
118 Smithfield Street, Pittsburgh, Pa.

THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.
* * * * *
AIM AND WORK.
To preach the Gospel to the poor. It originated in a sympathy with
the almost friendless slaves. Since Emancipation it has devoted its
main efforts to preparing the FREEDMEN for their duties as citizens
and Christians in America, and as missionaries in Africa. As
closely related to this, it seeks to benefit the caste-persecuted
CHINESE in America, and to co-operate with the Government in its
humane and Christian policy toward the INDIANS. It has also a
mission in AFRICA.

WANTS.
1. A steady INCREASE of regular income to keep pace with the
growing work. This increase can only be reached by _regular_ and
_larger_ contributions from the churches, the feeble as well as the
strong.
2. ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS for our higher educational institutions, to
accommodate the increasing numbers of students; MEETING HOUSES for
the new churches we are organizing; MORE MINISTERS, cultured and
pious, for these churches.
3. HELP FOR YOUNG MEN, to be educated as ministers here and
missionaries to Africa—a pressing want.
Before sending boxes, always correspond with the nearest A. M. A.
office as directed on second page cover.
THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY.
We are anxious to put the AMERICAN MISSIONARY on a paying basis. We
intend to make it worth its price, and we ask our patrons to aid us:
1. More of our readers can take pains to send us either the
moderate subscription price (50 cents), or $1.00, naming a friend
to whom we may send a second copy.
2. A special friend in each church can secure subscribers at
club-rates (12 copies for $5 or 25 copies for $10).
3. Business men can benefit themselves by advertising in a
periodical that has a circulation of 20,000 copies monthly and that
goes to many of the best men and families in the land. Will not our
friends aid us to make this plan a success?
We nevertheless renew the offer hitherto made, that the MISSIONARY
will be sent gratuitously, if desired, to the Missionaries of
the Association; to Life Members; to all Clergymen who take
up collections for the Association; to Superintendents of
Sabbath-schools; to College Libraries; to Theological Seminaries;
to Societies of Inquiry on Missions; and to every donor who does
not prefer to take it as a subscriber, and contributes in a year
not less than five dollars.
Subscriptions and advertisements should be sent to H. W. HUBBARD,
Treasurer, 56 Reade street, New York, N.Y.
