Oxford Bibles

Workers' Edition

Containing References, Concordance, Self-Pronouncing Dictionary of Scripture Proper Names, Maps, etc., etc., nearly three hundred pages of handy helps.

The difference between the Workers' Edition and the Teachers' Edition of the Oxford Bible is in the quantity of Helps which they contain, the Workers' Edition having been published especially for those desiring a thin, light Bible with the Concordance and a few other important aids.

Pagan Counterfeits in the Christian Church. By Chas. A. S. Temple, Lebanon Springs, N. Y. Nearly 200 pp. Paper covers, 25 cents. Published for the author by the Pacific Press Publishing Co., Oakland, Cal., Kansas City, Mo., New York City, from which company it may be ordered.

This is a wonderfully interesting and even startling pamphlet. The author is an old man, who has given years of his life to the studies set forth in this pamphlet, the allegations of which are abundantly fortified by scriptural and documentary proof. The author discusses Emblems, Ivy, Evergreens, Flowers, the Festival, the Feasts of Saturn, Easter, Lent, the Sunday-sabbath, Free Masonry, Coincidences in Mysteries and Masonry, Conclusions. There is an ascerbity of tone, a superlative use of adjectives, in the work, which, to our mind, injures it; but, nevertheless, we could wish that it might be read by every minister and Christian worker in the land.

Roger's Travels, or Scenes and Incidents Connected with the Journey of Two Boys in Foreign Lands. By Rev. Edward Payson Hammond, the well-known evangelist, Hartford, Conn. Fleming H. Revell Company, Chicago, New York, Toronto. Paper covers.

This little book takes up travels through Europe, starting with Holland, visiting the old historic places and towns of Rotterdam, Deltshaven, The Hague, Leyden, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Brussels, Cologne Cathedral, Constance, Mont Blanc; with many practical Gospel lessons and illustrations adapted to children and youth, showing the consequences of sin, and the results of a good life in Christ.

Old Mormon Manuscript Found; Peepstone Joe Exposed. Published and sold by L. B. Cake, 90 West Broadway, New York City. The author's argument runs somewhat thus: Mormonism must stand or fall by the Book of Mormon; Joseph Smith is the only witness to this; but as his testimony is impeached utterly, the Book of Mormon is proved a fraud. The worst thing about the pamphlet is the style. The author is capable of better. He probably thought this familiar (undignified) manner would sell his work. Nevertheless, his arguments are worth reading, and seem conclusive against this false system. Paper covers, 144 pp., reduced from 35 to 25 cents; cloth, $1.00. Address the author.

Natural Food of Man. In three parts: Part 1, "Man's Primitive and Best Diet," from a Bible standpoint, by Milton C. Wilcox; Part 2, "How to Prepare It," by Mrs. Flora Leadsworth; Part 3, "Food for the Sick," by J. R. Leadsworth, M.D. In the Biblical part the seeker for a true dietary will find that which is worthy of consideration; the second part contains over two hundred vegetarian recipes which are strictly hygienic, besides other instruction. And food for the sick is what every household ought to know how to prepare. Bible Students' Library, No. 158. Price, 25 cents. Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal.

Christmas Songs of Many Nations. Compiled and arranged by Katherine Wallace Davis. 25 cents; $15 per 100. Clayton F. Summy Co., Chicago. The design is to emphasize the thought that all are of one blood, and all have one Father. This would have been better if the "Santa Claus" falsehood did not appear. A beautiful half-tone picture of thirteen children, representing as many nations, is the frontispiece.

The Shut-in Cause. Compiled by J. Albert Zepp, for five years editor of the Shut-in Friend, Melrose, Md. It is published for the purpose of bringing well people closer to God's dear, suffering ones, and to bring all closer to our Maker. The entire book of 102 pages was set by Mr. Zepp, and printed on a hand press. He certainly has done good work. The book is made up of articles telling about "shut-ins," letters, sketches, poems, and quite a number of illustrations. Its reading will help the well to appreciate more fully the blessings of health and have more sympathy, perhaps, for the sick.

STRONG MEN OF SMYRNA.

THE porters of Smyrna are without doubt the strongest men in the world. They carry upon their necks and shoulders loads heavy enough to crush a donkey. It is not an uncommon sight to see one of these porters carrying through the streets six or eight great trunks bound in a bundle with a long rope and balanced upon his back. These men live almost exclusively upon wheat or barley cakes and figs. A diet consisting of cereal foods, fruits, and a small seasoning of nuts, constitutes the most natural and most wholesome bill of fare for human beings. Such a dietary is conducive to long life, good digestion, light-heartedness, clearness of mind, joyous spirits, and general well-being.

The cereal products of the Battle Creek, Mich., Sanitarium Health Food Co., especially Granola and Gran-Nut, combined with Protose, or some other suitable nut product, constitute a perfect bill of fare, and have proved a godsend to thousands of persons, who, through their means, have been restored after suffering the pangs of miseries of chronic nervous exhaustion for many years.

Granola is a dainty, delicious, and nutritious cereal food, containing three times the food elements of beef. It is thoroughly cooked, and, with the addition of milk, is ready for immediate use at a cost of one cent a person a meal.

Readers of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES who will send to the Sanitarium Health Food Co., Battle Creek, Mich., the name of a grocer who does not sell Granola, will receive a free sample.
