REDUCED PRICE LIST OF THE Oxford Teachers' Reference Bibles.

What is said of THE "OXFORD" Teachers' Bibles.

From the SUNDAY SCHOOL TIMES. "In an OXFORD BIBLE one is always sure of a good thing. The Oxford Press has done good service by the issue of these TEACHERS' BIBLES, with their full and admirable series of helps. So far as we can see, the new fac-simile series of Oxford Bibles for Sunday-school Teachers is, all things considered, better suited to the wants of the Sunday-school Teacher than any other series yet offered to the public. In typography, paper, binding, varied and excellent helps to study, these Bibles are with the very foremost; and their range of styles and prices gives a choice to all."

From the REV. W. MORLEY PUNSHON, LL.D. "I can hardly imagine anything more complete or more helpful to those who have but little time for study. The facilities for reference upon almost everything pertaining to Bible history and exposition are simply invaluable."

From the REV. C. H. SPURGEON. "I can unreservedly recommend the OXFORD BIBLES FOR TEACHERS. They are as good as we can ever expect to see. The 'Helps' constitute a library of Scriptural information."
