_Before you lay aside this book, will you not ask yourself why you should
not go out to Arabia, or to some other land yet shrouded in darkness, and
shine for Jesus?_

An Old Friend in a New Dress.

ARABIC. LITERAL TRANSLATION.

Seyyidi-'l-Fadi-'l Gani, Our Lord, the rich Saviour,
Kalbehoo yuhibbooni, His heart loves me,
Fa lahoo kooloo saghier. And to Him all little ones belong.
Yaltajee wahoo'l kadeer. He protects us and is strong.

Kad faaka hubban. Yes His love exceeds all.
Kad faaka hubban. Yes His love exceeds all.
Kad faaka hubban. Yes His love exceeds all.
Yuhibbuna Yasooa. Jesus loves you.

Prof. I.T. HEADLAND'S FASCINATING CHILDREN'S BOOKS

* * * * *

Chinese Mother Goose Rhymes

Translated and illustrated by Prof. Headland of Peking University. Small
quarto, boards, net $1.00

"As full of sweets as a Canton jar of sugared ginger. It is perfectly
delightful to look at, for without, and within on every page, are rolling,
tumbling, playing Chinese little folks. This book ought to do a great deal
toward awakening sympathy and affection for the East."--_S.S. Times_.

The Chinese Boy and Girl

Fully illustrated. Quarto, boards, decorated, net $1.00

"'Chinese Mother Goose' opened a large window through which we may see
much that has been hidden. Now comes the 'Chinese Boy and Girl,' with
another revelation, which is even more an introduction to the nursery, the
school-room, the play ground. It is a cheery picture that it gives of the
little folk of that empire, and cannot fail to make their far-away mates
think more kindly of them. The hundred or more illustrations from
photographs specially selected by Professor Headland, rival the artistic
excellence of his earlier book."--_Worcester Spy_.

_The "Billy Topsail" Books_

By NORMAN DUNCAN

_The Adventures of Billy Topsail_

Illustrated, cloth, $1.50

"There was no need to invent conditions or imagine situations. The
life of any lad of Billy Topsail's years up there is sufficiently
romantic. It is this skill in the portrayal of actual conditions that
lie ready to the hand of the intelligent observer that makes Mr.
Duncan's Newfoundland stories so noteworthy. 'The Adventures of Billy
Topsail' is a wonderful book."--_Brooklyn Eagle._

_Billy Topsail and Company_

Illustrated, cloth, $1.50

Every boy who knows Billy Topsail will welcome this continuation of
his adventuresome life in the North. Like its predecessor, the new
volume is a stirring story for boys, true to life, among the hardy
sons of the sea, clean, pure and stimulating.

[Sidenote: _THE OLD TESTAMENT ADAPTED FOR LITTLE CHILDREN_]

By

LAURA ELLA CRAGIN

Illustrated, Cloth, net $1.25

_Convention Teacher_: "An admirable book in every way. The writer has read
many of the stories to his own children, and they have been received with
delight. We commend the book to mothers and to the teachers of little
children."

_Scottish Review_: "Here is a book which many will welcome. The authoress
has considerable experience and real skill in the art of imparting
religious ideas to very young minds, as well as a manifest love of such
labor."

_Religious Telescope_: "If it were in our power it would be introduced
into every home where there is a child."

_Central Presbyterian_: "Best of its kind we have yet seen."

_Southwestern Christian Advocate_: "Tells the little ones in a way quite
original and exceptional the beautiful stories of the Old Testament."

_Evangelical_: "It is a pleasure to recommend a book that will supply a
long-felt need on the part of the Christian mother. The nature study which
abounds throughout the book in one of its strong attractions, teaching the
little children to associate the beauties of natural animal life with God,
the giver of all these blessings."
