LIFES DAILY MINISTRY.

A Story of Everyday Service for Others. By Mrs. Emma Ray-
mMonpD Pirmay. With 4 full-page Illustrations in black and
tint. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 3s. 6d.

A Story of self-sacrifice and of some touching experiences of life. Some
of the characters are very attractive, others very repulsive; but all tend
to show that true honour and happiness are to be found in serving others,
according to our capacity, and so imitating Him ‘“‘ who went about doing
good.” Some experiences of a sincere and gifted, but doubting youth,
helpless through spinal disease and destined to early death, and his attain-
ment of faith, light, and peace, are peculiarly affecting. Olive Forrester,
the chief heroine of the story, presents an example of saintly self-denial
for the sake of her dead sister’s children.

“The whole story is full of tender pathos, touching incident, and enchanting
interest.”—Christian Union.

“Full of sound teaching and bright examples of character.”—Sunday-school
Chronicle.

“This story is powerfully written, and maintains the reader’s interest to the end.”
—Schoolmistress.

“Full of stirring interest, genuine pictures of real life, and pervaded by a broad
and active sympathy for the true, beautiful, and good.”—Christian Commonwealth.

FLORENCE GODFREY’S FAITH.

A Story of Australian Life. By Mrs. Emma Raymonp Pirman.
With 4 full-page Illustrations in black and tint. Crown 8vo,
cloth extra, 3s, 6d.

This Tale traces the career and adventures of a family who were forced
to leave Manchester during the time of the cotton famine, and seek a home
in Australian wilds. Florence, the central character of the story, is a very
lovely one; and in spite of girlish timidity, girlish fear, and natural shrink-
ing, succeeds in raising a Christian church in the wilderness. The story
teaches the lesson of perseverance in well-doing, and shows how faithful
effort is rewarded.

“This is a clever, and what is better still, a good book, written with a freshness
and power which win the reader’s sympathies, and carry the story along unflaggingly
to the close.”—Christian Globe.

“ A story which will be eagerly read by boys, and which can hardly fail to promote
the growth of a manly type of Christian character.”—Literary World.

“This is a very interesting book, and a suitable present for young men or women.
The infinence of the tale is pure and bracing.” —Freeman,

“A very interesting and instructive story.”—Record,
