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.

MARY LANE DWIGHT

Illustrated, 16mo, cloth, net 60c.

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.

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.

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.

By Elijah (“Ram’s Horn”) BROWN. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, net $1.00.

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.

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.

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.
